A Brief Analysis of the Educational Implications of Virtual Reality

The continuous advancements of the technological system have allowed for the creation of interactive environments, thus creating optimal conditions for a culture of sharing and interaction among individuals and contexts. The application of computers in various environments and professional contexts has resulted in technological evolution and growth, which has led to the development of ecologically adaptable and integrated technologies (Nucera et al., 2018). Specifically, in this work, we will seek to determine and describe virtual reality in terms of a “transformative technology” with significant implications within structured educational contexts. The central focus of this work will revolve around how knowledge dissemination is undergoing a profound restructuring, demonstrating that Weiser’s insight regarding the increasingly blurred boundary between bodies and technologies is becoming more tangible.
