Abstract

The paper reviews the past uses of Virtual Reality (VR) applications for students with special needs. Although VR technology shows promise for helping these groups, applications have been slow to emerge. Reasons for the lag in development include the expense of VR components, special skills required to develop learning environments, and special challenges of educational applications. Research in the use of VR in physical rehabilitation and remediation for cognitive deficits are discussed. Design issues and variables are reviewed together with a description of new developments in the use of low-end VR systems and the Internet.
