Abstract
With the rapid development of technology, Virtual Reality (VR) technology has emerged as an innovative force in the field of education. This article aims to explore the current application status of VR technology in higher education and its future development prospects. Through in-depth analysis of application examples of VR technology in classroom teaching, experimental simulation, skills training, and other aspects, it reveals its significant role in improving teaching quality and enhancing students’ practical abilities. On this basis, it also provides an outlook on the potential application areas of VR technology in future higher education, such as remote collaborative learning and immersive historical experiences, with the hope of providing useful references and insights for educators.
