The Practice and Exploration of Virtual Reality Technology in Distance Education

Abstract

With the rapid development of information technology, virtual reality (VR) technology has gradually transformed from the concept of science fiction to reality, and become an important driving force for innovation and development in the field of education. As an immersive technology, VR can break the limitations of time and space in traditional teaching modes and create an immersive learning experience for learners. This technology can not only make the learning process more vivid and interesting, but also improve students’ learning efficiency and initiative through interaction and immersion. Especially in the field of distance education, the application of VR technology is redefining teaching methods, increasing the efficiency of educational resource sharing, and enhancing the fairness and accessibility of education. This paper will take VR technology as the starting point, analyze its basic principles and technical characteristics, and deeply discuss the diversified practices of VR in distance education, including teaching scene simulation, interactive experience optimization, other aspects of educational resources equity, etc.
