“…It is important to explore the educational aspect as a feature to make use of on applications, such as games, informative videos or 360 degree tours, which can be very similar to the real world (Wagler & Hanus, 2018); training on safety aspects and recommendations to follow in the place visited, in order to ensure the well-being of tourists, and the species of flora and fauna present during the visit, such is the case of the game that allows people to get to know the city of Valladolid in Spain, recreating historical buildings (Zarzuela et al, 2013).. It can also be applied in more practical training environments, through the use of 3D virtual reality applications that can be used in the classroom or in places with the presence of nature in order to train tour guides (Tseng et al, 2013). Leisure tourism takes importance in natural areas for the routes and harmony with nature, these environments are exploited in VR applications for learning as the case of physical education, where in addition to avoiding the risk of injury, being a solution to the challenges in access, task progression and / or security (Pasco, 2013).…”

The study aims to identify how virtual reality technology can help protect and conserve flora and fauna in national parks and other environmental settings. To this end, the literature published in the Scopus database is examined. A Systematic Literature Review methodology from 2018 to 2022 and an Empirical Research (survey) applied to tourism in natural areas, mainly national parks, have been proposed. Virtual reality technology is particularly useful as a complement or alternative to visiting national parks. The main results indicate that, currently, daily life confronts us with stressful situations that can be mitigated through ecotourism, as well as virtual reality applications, such as games and videos, which interactively inform about the species of flora and fauna present in the park visited. This helps in the conservation and protection of endangered species, the conservation of the forest, as well as archaeological heritage sites present in these natural parks. The development and implementation of this technology varies from one context to another. It is beneficial for people with some kind of disability or for the physical effort involved in long walks, even on steep terrain, and sometimes it improves the conditions of access to the national park and the dangers related to such an exciting adventure.

“…VR systems presenting audiences in pre-recorded 360 videos were also shown to be an effective training tool for reducing anxiety in public speaking [12]. Tseng et al [15] developed a web-based VR environment where users can view panoramic pictures of a sight while practicing their tour guiding presentation skill. However, in these systems, trainees can only view the pre-recorded videos.…”

Figure 1: 360TourGuiding concept: a tour guiding trainee can view and practice tour guiding with 360 travel videos in VR.Other people can remotely join into the training session as audiences or acting tourist using their mobile device (e.g., tablet) or personal computer (e.g., laptop), which can capture their facial video streams using the built-in front facing camera. The audiences' facial video streams are displayed on corresponding 3D avatars in the VR environment

A Scoping Review on Virtual Reality-Based Industrial Training

et al. 2020

The fourth industrial revolution has forced most companies to technologically evolve, applying new digital tools, so that their workers can have the necessary skills to face changing work environments. This article presents a scoping review of the literature on virtual reality-based training systems. The methodology consisted of four steps, which pose research questions, document search, paper selection, and data extraction. From a total of 350 peer-reviewed database articles, such as SpringerLink, IEEEXplore, MDPI, Scopus, and ACM, 44 were eventually chosen, mostly using the virtual reality haptic glasses and controls from Oculus Rift and HTC VIVE. It was concluded that, among the advantages of using this digital tool in the industry, is the commitment, speed, measurability, preservation of the integrity of the workers, customization, and cost reduction. Even though several research gaps were found, virtual reality is presented as a present and future alternative for the efficient training of human resources in the industrial field.
