Abstract
This paper addresses the unique characteristics of emerging Virtual Reality (VR) technology and the potential of virtual worlds as learning environments. I describe several key attributes of VR environments and discuss them in relationship to educational theory and pedagogical practice. I then identify three challenges that must be met before VR can be integrated into educational settings: cost, usability, and fear of the technology.
