Abstract
Modern technology has become an integral part of our daily lives. Every day generates the need for new technologies so that we can coexist and integrate into contemporary life. Virtual reality (VR) is becoming imperative in some life areas, such as medicine, space, and education, for experiments and training. The start of the COVID-19 pandemic revealed the importance of using electronic devices for content delivery. In this paper, the importance of VR in the COVID-19 crises, the current situation of virtual reality, and its applications in the fields of education are discussed. Therefore, state of the art for VR is explained in this study with the new scientific contribution in this field and the new vision of VR in education. Virtual reality has advantages and disadvantages, and both current and future ones are discussed here. Based on our current data, we found that there are tremendous positive developments taking place, but at the same time, there are rules, laws, and societies with certain policies, some of which will promote the environment of virtual reality, and others will oppose it.
