Insight into VR Not just the students, but the teachers Creative and free-thinking Space Conclusion

An Insight into Virtual Reality Before we do something, often curiosity engulfs our minds with questions of what might lay ahead.

In this case, the question "what is VR and what are its benefits?" engulfs our mind.

Augmented reality is a PC based reproduction of a three-dimensional picture or environment that can be associated within a real or physical manner by an individual using specialized electronic hardware. For example, headgear with a screen inside or gloves fitted with sensors.

Still not getting the picture?

Picture yourself in a room with large screens fitted to each corner showing a three-dimensional view of a stadium, with you standing right in the middle of it.

Virtual reality immerses you into a new environment by simulating the senses such as vision, touch, smell, and hearing.

Virtual reality has been a tech breakthrough used in different fields such as video games, 3D cinemas, and social interactions.

Further advancements are bringing the use of virtual reality into teaching, which in recent years has been effective in improving a student’s level of enthusiasm and creativity. That is why we have created this article to provide an understanding of how to promote enthusiasm in the classroom using virtual reality.

Not Just the Students, but the Teachers We cannot successfully address the issue with the level of enthusiasm and interest in the learning experience by focusing solely on the student and ignoring the Teacher.

Teachers’ enthusiasm matters, too.

Carrying out the same routine for weeks becomes tiresome, similarly, teachers experience boredom from teaching the same topics year-after-year.

Tuning things a bit is crucial. There should be room for exploration for teachers, too.

Raising the teachers' enthusiasm for a particular subject influences how well they pass the knowledge onto students. When teachers are passionate about a subject, they teach students with great enthusiasm.

Using virtual reality to jazz things up is a perfect way to improve enthusiasm. When teachers are exposed to the wonders of virtual reality and its immersive detailed information, a whole new world opens up to them.

The ability for virtual reality to produce different immersive simulated experiences is proving to be the ideal go-to solution to enhance understanding.

Creative and Free-Thinking Space A creative mind is a free mind. Letting the mind wander and explore exposes it to great ideas.

But with conventional classroom teaching filled with fixed schedules, trying to fit everyone into the same box, and asking students to grasp knowledge at the same pace can potentially hinder the free-want-tobe minds from exploring new ideas.

Virtual reality enhances creativity by enabling students to: • Explore the world from anywhere at anytime • Learn about different cultures, places, and people from the convenience of the classroom • Gain a more detailed understanding of a subject Virtual reality offers a world of creativity for us to tap into. It provides an exciting environment that heightens students’ sense of curiosity and interest; therefore, allowing students to explore new ideas without the blahs and rigidity that often lead to a lack of enthusiasm in the classroom.

Conclusion You cannot consistently do the same thing and expect a different result. An alternative approach can often yield a better result.

Virtual reality is the change agent needed to deliver better results. Virtual reality reduces learning complications and gives teachers and students reasons to remain interested and enthusiastic with classroom activities.

Virtual reality is here to stay, and there is no need to remain skeptical about it because the benefits it provides are numerous and growing.
