“…Reasons are often given to engage students with this innovative and interesting technology and enable them to see their developments in a more appealing way (see also the Hour of Code for Virtual Reality project [21]). This is becoming increasingly important as students can easily experience their VR applications on their smartphones.…”

“…Learning activities and practical experiments, which are often too expensive, too dangerous, or simply too time-consuming to be conducted in a real classroom, can be replaced by virtual experiences, especially in the STEM area. The translation of these experiences into immersive virtual realities can be highly beneficial for students, because the sense of being physically, socially, and personally present in the virtual environment contributes to the learning processes [1,3,21].…”

Virtual reality (VR) technologies have become more affordable and accessible in recent years. This is opening up new methods and opportunities in the field of digital learning. VR can offer new forms of interactive learning and working, especially for subjects from the STEM (Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) area. In this context we investigate the potential and application of VR for computer science education with a systematic review in this paper. We present a formal literature review on the use of VR technologies in computer science education. We focus on the identification of factors such as learning objectives, technologies used, interaction characteristics, and challenges and advantages of using fully immersive VR for computer science education. CCS CONCEPTS • Human-centered computing → Virtual reality; • Social and professional topics → Computing education programs; Computer science education.
