Abstract

Recent advancements in technology, notably immersive virtual reality (IVR) and the Meta-verse, are indicating novel trajectories for the future. The integration of animation and multimedia into learning has evolved with the provision of complete Virtual Reality Learning Environments. This shift underscores a transformation in Web-based education, moving away from traditional multimedia towards a more immersive, interactive, and intuitive VR learning landscape. VR, utilizing 3D models, emulates real-world scenarios, re-discussion on effective pedagogy and leveraging technological innovations is reignited. This paper introduces the application of Web-based 3D technologies with a focus on VR features, identifying forthcoming trends aimed at enhancing immersive experiences, augmenting interactivity, and exploring additional pedagogical value and application contexts. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of anticipating future emerging trends and applications of VR in education, underscoring its potential to revolutionize learning experiences. The conclusion presents guidelines for the efficient utilization of VR, addressing limitations and discussing implications for future research in VR education.
