Trends and Applications of Virtual Reality in Education: Taiwan Experience

虛擬實境目前已是一個成熟的模擬技術，許多產業紛紛採用虛擬實境技術進行商品行銷或教育訓練等。在教育上，教師們都引頸期盼虛擬實境對教學上的改善。然而，目前教學現場關於虛擬實境的教材相對較少，以致教師能找尋到的教學資源有限，亦沒有相關範本可以參考並進行開發。本研究針對虛擬實境定義、虛擬實境的應用範疇、虛擬實境的應用成效進行討論。此外，本研究羅列教師可用之開發工具以及教學內容設計案例，提供教師作為發展虛擬實境教材之參考依據。最後，本研究提出教師在發展虛擬實境教學活動之建議。

Virtual reality (VR) is now a mature simulation technology, and many industries are adopting it for marketing and educational training. In education, teachers are looking forward to better learning and teaching experience with virtual reality. However, there are relatively few teaching materials on VR in the field; teachers find limited teaching resources, and there are no templates about VR content development. This study discussed the definition of VR, the application of VR, and the effectiveness of VR. In addition, this study listed the development tools and content design examples available to teachers. Finally, this study provided recommendations for teachers to develop VR activities.
