Abstract

Immersive virtual reality (iVR) is becoming increasingly popular in the field of learning. However, due to the large number of scientific publications, it is questionable whether a substantial increase in knowledge in the use of this technology faces a manageable number of challenges. The question of the theoretical-conceptual embedding in the state of the art of psychological learning research (4E Cognition) must also be examined in order to enable the optimization of future iVR learning applications.
