"When engaged with learning in a traditional classroom environment, students’ brain activity showed a mere 3.0 increase from their resting state. However, when instead engaged with learning in an immersive VR environment, students’ brain activity increased by a remarkable 15.5 points. Researchers theorized that this significant increase in brain activity among students in virtual reality learning could be attributed to the emotional sensory connection created between students and the learning material, as well as the lack of external distractions while immersed in the virtual environment. Learning in virtual reality therefore alleviates common issues of boredom and distraction among students, allowing them to fully concentrate on their studies."
"This research has demonstrated how VR can replicate or complement traditional learning methods. It is important to consider how VR technology allows for learning beyond the classroom. The technology, though suitable for classroom use, is also particularly suitable for distance learning, self-teaching and other learning environments. This can be achieved, as the equipment can allow for rich, detailed learning environments that can be programmed to any scenario."
