This book has an aim to present latest applications, trends and developments of virtual reality technologies in three humanities disciplines: in medicine, psychology and pedagogy. Studies show that people in both educational as well as in the medical therapeutic range expect more and more that modern media are included in the corresponding demand and supply structures. For the Internet and various mobile media, associated research and application projects now have fixed key words such as "E-learning" and "E-Mental Health" or "M-Learning", "M-Mental Health". This book aims to contribute to the current state of the corresponding efforts in the area of ??further promising technology - the Virtual Reality - designed to give an overview and secondly to provide a stimulus on specific projects, associated with the hope of giving to scientists and practitioners from the humanities an impulse for their own (further-) development, evaluation and implementation of various VR scenarios in the education and health sectors.

Virtual Reality in Curriculum and Pedagogy explores the instructional, ethical, practical, and technical issues related to the integration of immersive virtual reality (VR) in school classrooms. The book's original pedagogical framework is informed by qualitative and quantitative data collected from the first-ever study to embed immersive VR in secondary school science, ICT, and drama classrooms. Students and scholars of technology-enhancing learning, curriculum design, and teacher education alike will find key pedagogical insights into leveraging the unique properties of VR for authentic, metacognitive, and creative learning.

For the last decade, virtual reality has been utilized in diverse fields such as entertainment, medicine, and industry. Recently, virtual reality has been applied in educational settings in order to transform student learning and experiences through such methods as building prototypes using digital devices or exploring new cultures through immersive interactions. Teachers who can incorporate virtual reality into their classrooms can provide their students with more meaningful learning experiences and can witness higher engagement. Current and Prospective Applications of Virtual Reality in Higher Education is a cutting-edge academic research book that provides comprehensive research on the integration of virtual reality in education programs and establishes foundations for course design, program development, and institutional strategic planning. The book covers an overall understanding and approach to virtual reality in education, specific applications of using virtual reality in higher education, and prospects and issues of virtual reality in the future. Highlighting a wide range of topics such as gamification, teacher training, and virtual reality, this book is ideal for teachers, instructional designers, curriculum developers, academicians, program developers, administrators, educational software developers, policymakers, researchers, education professionals, and students.

Virtual reality is basically an artificial environment which is created with the help of software and presented to the user in such a way that the user gets convinced and accepts it as a real environment. The aim of this book is to give an elucidative account on the modern applications, advancements and trends of virtual reality technologies in the disciplines of pedagogy, psychology and medicine. Analyses reflect that individuals in educational as well as in the medical therapeutic domains have increasing expectations that present-day media be employed in the corresponding demand and supply systems. For the Internet and several other mobile media, related application and research projects have now started using key words like E-Mental Health and E-Learning or M-Mental Health and M-Learning. The purpose of this book is to contribute to the present state of the corresponding efforts being made for the advancement of this promising technology. It has been compiled in a manner to provide an overview and propel further research on particular projects with the hope of providing practitioners and scientists from these disciplines with a desire to accomplish further development, assessment and implementation of different virtual reality scenarios in the sectors of health and education.

The convergence of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) has transcended the boundaries of gaming and entertainment, emerging as tools in healthcare and wellbeing. At the heart of recent research-driven exploration lies the recognition of a critical gap in healthcare education. However, amid the promising potential of AR and VR, a need for more comprehensive research has thus far limited the capacity of these technologies to optimize physical, psychological, and social wellbeing. Through the ingenious use of AR, Applications of Virtual and Augmented Reality for Health and Wellbeing spotlights the fusion of virtual learning experiences with tangible real-world scenarios, addressing the educational challenges that have long hindered the development of effective healthcare competencies. This book embarks on an academic journey into this transformative landscape, delving into the intricate tapestry of AR and VR technologies and their applications. It unfurls an inclusive discourse encompassing accessibility considerations, the integration of artificial intelligence within AR/VR paradigms, cross-disciplinary applications, and tangible real-world use cases that underscore the transformational impact of these technologies. As a compendium of solutions to real-world challenges, the book channels the collective wisdom of researchers, offering an invaluable reference guide to professionals at the vanguard of AR/VR innovation. Distinguished voices from academia, industry, and gaming converge within the pages, catering to an eclectic audience, including research scholars, educators, industry practitioners, and gaming enthusiasts.
