Abstract

In the education method, student lead problem to enhance the learning performance due to the speed of technological development and technical boom and to keep up with this technological boom. The recent trends of virtual reality (VR) applications in education have become a means to enable students to acquire information, and through the applications, students can build their knowledge. Nevertheless, more and more this negative impact such as lack of communication, rare of student’s motivations in using the technology. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of VR applications. It focuses on why the application of virtual reality is underutilized in the educational field. Many applications within the field of education create new opportunities, increase participation, and enhance student learning, particularly in higher education institutions. VR technology aims to increase student motivation, participation, understanding, and confidence in learning very important issues. The articles in this literature review papers published between 2018 and 2021 were taken from different databases. That paper highlights and discusses the issues and challenges related to implementing VR founded typically surrounds education. It discovers the strategy of usage of VR in the education sector surroundings nearby virtual reality knowledge. The findings reveal the pertain using virtual reality applications in the education domain.

Keywords: learning, virtual reality, technology.
