Architecture, Virtual Reality, Spatial Visualization, Learning Styles, and Distance Education

摘要

What is the next generation of learning technology: the cellphone, your watch, virtual reality, or all of the above. The research question being asked is: How can Virtual Reality (VR) assist students in learning? This research proves that virtual reality technology does enhance 3D spatial visualization skills of students. Due to the nature of their learning styles, many students need to interact with 3D scenes to enhance their spatial visualization skills, to see and understand the 3D model. This research proves that virtual reality technology will assist in giving both online and face-to-face architectural students a better education and help them to improve their spatial visualization skills.
