Abstract

             This paper is based on the effect of virtual reality technology (referred to as: VR technology) in the regular classroom application of vocational and technical schools, Virtual reality (VR) technology has been widely used in the field of education with its characteristics of immersion, interactivity and conceivability. However, the current  virtual reality (VR) technology is still in the initial stage of development, and its application in the field of education is not widespread enough, and there are still some problems. Based on this, we investigate and analyze the impact of virtual reality (VR) technology on traditional education through research methods such as questionnaire survey method and literature research method. The survey results show that students welcome virtual reality (VR) technology, and virtual reality (VR) technology has a positive impact on traditional education in curriculum design, teaching mode and teaching methods, but the application of  virtual reality  (VR) technology in the field of education still has a lot of room for improvement. By analyzing the survey results, this paper aims to provide suggestions and guidance for the application of  virtual reality (VR) technology in the field of education.
