Review on Virtual Reality for the Advancement of Architectural Learning

A set of virtual reality (VR) based learning environment is being produced to investigate the possibilities for technological innovations and to discover where and how VR may best assist architecture instructors. VR has been utilized as an instructional aid in education, challenging the idea of what makes a learning environment more effective. Thanks to HD (high-definition) visuals and comprehensive contents given by head mounted displays (HMD), learners have been able to study complex and difficult subjects in ways that conventional teaching approach cannot. This paper reviews several learning domains that advance architectural education to benefit the scholars and academicians for usage of immersive VR technologies and its application to design studio. Research on learning benefits, intervention and evaluation action related to the usage of Virtual reality has been lacking. This literature review stresses that it is necessary for the VR's potential to be understood as a pedagogical approach by identifying relevant evaluation methods, intervention features and learning objectives.
