Scope of Virtual Reality (VR) Based Disaster Preparedness Training for the Less Literate and Illiterate PeopleSyed Tarek Earth Aid, London, United Kingdom. Keywords Virtual Reality (VR), Disaster preparedness, Disruptive Learning, Training In A Tab, Rapid ethnography Abstract Virtual reality (VR) has evolved over the past decade, and as this evolution continues, scope and significance of using VR in various educational settings are worth exploring. With the availability of low-cost Google Cardboard VR tool and emergence of affordable smartphones, the possibility of creating a participant-centric virtual reality learning environment even in developing countries is not unthinkable. However, there remains a void in the adaptation of the VR based tools in the developing countries. As of today, no initiatives are taken to create a learning setting which would allow less literate and illiterate people to overcome some of the evident curses of illiteracy through planned elevated use of other senses such as vision and sound. |
