With the deepening advancement of informatization, higher education has embraced new technology educational tools. However, the superficiality and overemphasis on theory in China's industrial design education are facing significant challenges. Immersive industrial design instruction offers possibility for enhancing students' learning experiences,…

This study focuses on the application of virtual reality (VR) technology in the field of vocal music training. The author explored VR's application effect and provided references for the modernization of vocal music education. The author constructed a VR vocal music training system, elaborated on its hardware and software components and functions…

This study examined the impact of Augmented Reality (AR) technology on learning achievement among first-year university students in safety education contexts within a Chinese higher education setting. The research employed a one-group pretest-posttest pre-experimental design involving 30 first-year university students during the first semester of…

The term "metaverse" first appeared in Neal Stephenson's 1992 science fiction novel Snow Crash. It was defined as a virtual environment shared through the Internet in which avatars represent people in three dimensions, and users can build what they wish. Since the publication of Stephenson's novel, technological advances have enabled the…

The present research is an examination of Augmented Reality (AR) applications in Science Education using the Multi-complementary Approach (McA). This incorporates multiple analyses: i) Pre-complementary: meta-analysis and meta-thematic analysis, ii) Post-complementary: an experimental design with a pre- and post-test control group and iii)…

Education equity has become a critical sustainable development goal worldwide, and it has aroused significant concern among educators. While virtual teaching communities have emerged as an approach to minimizing educational inequity through resource sharing and information exchange, the achievement of deep collaboration among individuals remains…

Swapping visual perspective in virtual reality (VR) provides a unique means for embodying different virtual bodies and for self-distancing. Moreover, this technology is a powerful tool for experiential learning and for simulating realistic scenarios, with broad potential in the training of soft skills. However, there is scarce knowledge on how…

Metaverse is a technology which allow users to "experience" a digital universe and includes several components like augmented and virtual reality. Researchers who wish to research the field may not know where to start or the key features of the field. Thus, the present study aims to discuss the general and social, conceptual, and…

Today, the global prevalence of autism is high and continues to increase dramatically. Effective support and interventions are therefore warranted. Augmented reality (AR), one of the recent modalities of immersive technology, is gaining traction in autism interventions. However, there is currently a lack of reviews on the use of AR in children…

There is a growing interest in using Augmented Reality technologies in education due to common perceived advantages like its accessibility and the increase in academical performance and motivation it promotes. Yet, most research done does not offer a deeper analysis of how AR technologies are used to reach different educational goals or the…

Simulation-based learning (SBL) offers an extensive variety of chances to practice complex computer and networking skills in higher education and to implement diverse kinds of platforms to facilitate effective learning. Utilizing visualization and computer network simulation tools in teaching computer networking courses has been found to be useful…

Among the numerous fields permeated by Virtual Reality (VR), this review focuses on education and specifically, engineering education. VR allows engineering students to safely and cost-efficiently experience realistic yet simulated environments otherwise inaccessible, costly and/or dangerous. The feelings of presence and immersion generated by VR…

Virtual reality has emerged as an influential technology in the educational landscape, offering learners and teachers immersive and interactive experiences that enhance traditional teaching methods. However, despite the increasing importance of virtual reality in education, a systematic description and classification of virtual reality use cases…

Background: Despite access to nature-based recreation, many college students do not take advantage of these experiences to improve their mental and physical health. Virtual reality experiences provide a potential pathway to motivate this population to recreate outdoors, but research is needed to determine whether virtual recreation can lead to…

The metaverse has the potential to revolutionise education in several ways. It can provide students with immersive learning experiences, allowing them to explore and interact with virtual worlds and objects that are difficult or impossible to replicate in the real world. Yet, studies investigating the impact of the metaverse on students' skills…
