Background/objectives: This study aims to identify the effects of cognitive and emotional variables related to immersive virtual reality media technology on learning for nursing students. Methods/Statistical analysis: The subjects of this study were 121 nursing students from a university in area D. After experiential learning with virtual reality from 6–8 June 2019, data was collected through questionnaires. For virtual reality learning, VIVE’s hTC VIVE ECO CE model was used. The collected data was analyzed using the IBM SPSS 26.0 program. Multiple Regression Analysis was used to analyze the factors influencing the subject’s virtual reality learning effects. Findings: The learning effects of the virtual reality medium had a statistically significant positive correlation with the virtual reality technology recognition, sensory immersion, realism, learning satisfaction, learning necessity, and continuous use intention (p < 0.001) scores. In personality traits, only Openness, Extraversion (p < 0.01), and Conscientiousness (p < 0.05) had a statistically significant positive correlation. As a result of regression analysis, the explanatory power of the learning effect of the virtual reality medium was 63.9% (F = 53.61, p < 0.001), with learning satisfaction, sensory immersion, continuous use intention, and Extraversion being significant influencing factors (p < 0.05). Improvements/Applications: This study is meaningful in the sense that it provided strategic implications for the teaching and learning method of virtual reality technology-based learning by considering the insights necessary to develop a learning program using virtual reality technology, according to the characteristics of virtual reality technology, and the learner’s cognitive and psychological variables.

In recent years, immersive virtual reality technology (IVR) has seen a substantial improvement in its quality, affordability, and ability to simulate the real world. Virtual reality in psychology can be used for three basic purposes: immersion, simulation, and a combination of both. While the psychological implementations of IVR have been predominately used with adults, this review seeks to update our knowledge about the uses and effectiveness of IVR with children. Specifically, its use as a tool for pain distraction, neuropsychological assessment, and skills training. Results showed that IVR is a useful tool when it is used either for immersive or simulative purposes (e.g., pain distraction, neuropsychological assessment), but when its use requires both simulation (of the real world) and immersion (e.g., a vivid environment), it is trickier to implement effectively.

With the global pandemic of the coronavirus disease, virtual reality simulation (vSim) has emerged as a simulation educational method. The purpose of this study is to examine the learning effects of vSim by comparing three different educational modalities of nursing care for children with asthma. A quasi-experimental design with three different teaching methods, vSim, high-fidelity simulation (HFS), and vSim with HFS, were used in the study. The group using vSim with HFS showed the highest scores in knowledge, confidence in practice, and performance compared to groups using vSim or HFS alone. Simulation practice using vSim combined with HFS could be an effective educational method for nursing students.

After decades of progress in virtual reality, the key technologies among them have reached the foundation to support the development of the virtual reality industry. Immersive virtual reality classroom is a bold attempt to combine present-day information science and technology with innovative teaching concepts, which inherits the characteristics of existing online education such as short and compact, large-scale, and free and open. Combined with immersive virtual reality technology, virtual reality classrooms will present strong. The virtual reality classroom will present a strong sense of immersion, interactivity, and conceptualization. This paper elaborates on the development history of virtual reality and its future development direction from the technical perspective and educational perspective, respectively. Taking Civic Science course as an example, after analyzing the feasibility and development significance of immersive virtual reality interactive teaching classroom in detail, the design scheme of immersive virtual reality classroom is proposed, the characteristics and advantages of virtual immersive virtual reality classroom are discussed, and the application of immersive virtual reality technology to classroom teaching is explored. Combined with the constructed virtual reality classroom, the testing, analysis, and evaluation work should be completed and corresponding improvements should be made to better meet the personalized learning needs of learners.

Abstract With the development of the 5G era, digital media technology has been widely used in many fields and industries. Virtual reality is the product of the application of digital media technology in the development process. At the level of the continuous development and progress of social science and technology, virtual reality technology as a high-tech and high-tech tool has gradually entered people's vision, penetrated into all aspects of people's lives, and exerted good results. This article mainly studies the application of digital media technology based on 5G Internet of Things virtual reality technology as the carrier. This article introduces virtual reality technology, Quick Time VR technology that can be used in digital media, Tilt Brush VR technology, Oculus Quill technology, and digital media technology. It builds a virtual reality-based 3D model and digital media Internet of Things architecture, and implements 5G Comparison of technology and traditional technology, the proportion of applications of 5G Internet of Things virtual reality technology and digital media technology in education, construction, industry and medical fields. The analysis results show that the 5G Internet of Things has higher visual immersion, the original bandwidth can reach 5Tbit/s, and the calculation time of a single hologram is less than 3ms; 5G technology and virtual reality technology are both used in the medical field the most, with applications accounting for up to 40%; Digital media technology is the most widely used in the construction field, reaching 60%. It can be seen from the research in this article that the application of digital media technology based on the virtual reality technology of 5G Internet of Things as the carrier has high practical value in reality.
