Virtual Reality to Train and Teach

• In Event: Virtual reality, smartphones and social media: The potential of novel methods for the study of crime

Abstract

Virtual reality (VR) is quickly becoming a popular tool not just for entertainment, but for training and educating as well. The current study is a systematic scoping review focusing on characteristics of 120 VR trainings that are being used and reviewed in peer-review journals. Our evidence suggests that an increasing number of articles have been published on these VR trainings in the past five years. Additionally, these trainings are largely by routine scenarios within the medical and educational fields.
