“…E Spiers explores the development of three hypothetical environments in the Museum of the Future (MOTF), a virtual reality (VR) platform created by Dstl to raise awareness of future defense and security technologies. Specifically, Spiers examines the creation of three speculative environments within MOTF using VR technology [ 13 ]. C Bachiller examines a case study of a technological heritage museum that employs augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies in two distinct ways.…”

“…Research has shown that VR, as experienced during the pandemic, can be seen as a replacement for real museums and cultural heritage visits or as an enhancement of an actual visit to the museum or destination (Fan et al, 2022;Guttentag, 2020). According to Spiers et al (2022), the future of museums lies in VR and storytelling. VR is also gaining momentum due to the increased importance of immersion as part of the customer experience (Shin, 2019).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to expand the experience economy model and to determine if this model provides a better understanding of the process of growing intention to continue using religious cultural heritage content delivered digitally and intention to visit religious cultural heritage sites. In particular, it examines the influence of spiritual experience on the evaluation of religious cultural heritage content, comparing delivery via virtual reality (VR) to a web-based experience.Design/methodology/approachIn this study, a representative religious cultural heritage destination, Jerusalem, was chosen as an example for the application. Participants (n = 292) were randomly divided into two groups, one group using the web and the other group experiencing VR. After experiencing the destination virtually, participants completed a survey, the results of which were analyzed using path analysis and multi-group analysis.FindingsThe results suggest that spiritual experience mediates the four elements of Pine and Gilmore (1998) experience economy model and the intention to continue engaging with the content virtually. Intellectual awareness of religious cultural heritage strengthens the spiritual experience, which mediates educational and aesthetic experiences and the successful use of VR and the web. Additionally, for participants experiencing VR, the influence of spiritual experience on the intention to continue using the virtual media to consume content related to religious cultural heritage sites and to visit actual religious heritage sites was stronger than for participants using the web.Originality/valueThis study based on an expanded experience economy model explores the use of digital technologies for the enhancement of spiritual experience. Comparison of web-based and VR content delivery provides important implications for destination marketers in terms of promoting destinations online and encouraging intention to visit actual sites in the future.

“…This is because it provides a safe and controlled environment for patients suffering from this condition. Patients can be exposed to anxiety-provoking situations using a VR headset in a safe and controlled environment [18]. Therapists can create specific virtual environments that mimic real-life situations, such as elevators, airplanes, trains, and other enclosed spaces [19], [20].…”

Within the context of psychology, virtual reality (VR) is presented as a technological tool to address and treat the symptoms of claustrophobia. Claustrophobia is distinguished by a fear of small or enclosed environments, which can be a challenge for conventional treatments. This research work focused on conducting a detailed analysis of the existing literature on using VR as an alternative tool to treat claustrophobia symptoms. The research results indicated that treatment with VR technology may be effective in providing a controlled and safe way to expose patients to situations such as those they fear, allowing them to overcome their fears more effectively. This review article provides a comprehensive analysis of the use of VR to treat claustrophobia. A total of 384 manuscripts from different virtual databases were analyzed, from which 61 major articles were selected. The results showed that VR allows for treating different types of phobias such as Acrophobia, Agoraphobia, Arachnophobia, claustrophobia, Fear of flying, Fear of public speaking and Fear of injections, achieving significant patient results. Studies have proven the effectiveness of VR in reducing the symptoms of claustrophobia, and it is anticipated that it will continue to be an important tool in the future.
