When is VR Best for Learning?
Dangerous
VR can simulate high-risk environments (e.g., firefighting, surgery) without any real-world danger.
Impossible
VR allows learners to experience things that cannot be done in reality, like traveling back in time or becoming another person to foster empathy.
Counterproductive
Some training scenarios, like experiencing the consequences of distracted driving, may cause harm in real life but can be safely practiced in VR.
Expensive
VR makes it feasible to simulate rare or costly experiences, like complex surgeries or training for massive crowd control, without the financial burden or logistical challenges​.
