This Special Issue seeks to present an overview of the role and application of Virtual Reality (VR) in workplace learning and design, and to outline an agenda for future research in the field. Submissions are invited for original empirical, theoretical, and review papers from various disciplines and backgrounds (e.g., engineering, transport, psychology, education, healthcare, human factors/ergonomics, etc.) that demonstrate the potential of VR to impact individuals, organisations and society at large.
If you have conducted VR research in the following areas, you may like to consider submitting your contribution:
- VR for soft skills development, team building, health and safety training, and other related topics.
