However, few studies have focused on the expectations and concerns of teenagers regarding head-mounted displays (HMDs), which are used for this purpose. Methods: In this paper, we aim to explore the current problems and necessary advancements required in VR education based on a survey of 163 senior high school students who experience VR educational content for 1h. The usability and comfort of the HMD system, the physical and psychological effects on the students, and their preferences and concerns are investigated. Results: The results show that HMDs increase students' interest, concentration, and enthusiasm for learning. However, isolated virtual environments make students feel nervous and afraid. The immersive environment also makes them worry about VR addiction and confusing the physical world with the virtual one. Conclusions: VR has great potential in the field of education, but the issue of safety needs to be considered in the future.Jie GuoDongdong WengYue LiuQiyong ChenYongtian WangKeAi Communications Co., Ltd.articleVirtual realityEducationPreferences and concernsComputer engineering.
