Nowadays, we live in an ever-evolving technological world. There is thus a growing need to explore the use of modern technology in education in general, and in higher education in particular. The present paper investigates the use and effectiveness of Virtual Reality (VR) in higher education from the perspective of Saudi faculty at the College of Languages and Translation, King Khalid University (KKU). A mixed-method research design was applied. A questionnaire and focus group interviews were used to collect quantitative and qualitative data. Results indicated a limited use of VR among faculty due to lack of facilities, insufficient support (particularly for junior faculty), and lack of female technicians for the female-only campus and cultural aspects (e.g. female privacy). It is important to consider the need for high-speed internet and enhanced facilities for both students and faculty alike.
