“…In the evolving landscape of technological innovation, Virtual Reality (VR) emerges as a significant advancement with the potential to reshape educational methodologies. Characterised by its capacity to create immersive digital environments, VR is increasingly being adopted in educational settings transforming both the delivery and the assimilation of knowledge [7][8][9].…”

“…Additionally, historical recreations in VR provide students with the opportunity to witness significant events or explore ancient civilisations that would otherwise be impossible to explore. Naturally, this enriched experience offers a richer contextual understanding than traditional resources (e.g., books, videos) might deliver [8,15].…”

Understanding local history is fundamental to fostering a comprehensive global viewpoint. As technological advances shape our pedagogical tools, Virtual Reality (VR) stands out for its potential educational impact. Though its promise in educational settings is widely acknowledged, especially in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields, there is a noticeable decrease in research exploring VR’s efficacy in arts. The present study examines the effects of VR-mediated interventions on cultural education. In greater detail, secondary school adolescents (N = 52) embarked on a journey into local history through an immersive 360° VR experience. As part of our research approach, we conducted pre- and post-intervention assessments to gauge participants’ grasp of the content and further distributed psychometric instruments to evaluate their reception of VR as an instructional approach. The analysis indicates that VR’s immersive elements enhance knowledge acquisition but the impact is modulated by the complexity of the subject matter. Additionally, the study reveals that a tailored, context-sensitive, instructional design is paramount for optimising learning outcomes and mitigating educational inequities. This work challenges the “one-size-fits-all” approach to educational VR, advocating for a more targeted instructional approach. Consequently, it emphasises the need for educators and VR developers to collaboratively tailor interventions that are both culturally and contextually relevant.

“…Concerning accessibility to sites and monuments revealed by rescue excavations, virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) provide immersive and interactive experiences, making them accessible to the public [18,19]. People can visit virtual sites, explore historical reconstructions, and engage with artifacts, regardless of physical constraints or geographical distance [20].…”

The key questions of this article concern the extent to which digital documentation, 3D scanning technologies, and VR/AR technologies contribute to the preservation, enhancement, and sustainability of cultural heritage. The purpose of this research is to present an innovative methodology through which a platform for the diagnosis, management, and documentation of findings, progress, and reports and projections of rescue excavations in the area of Euboea, Greece was implemented. A holistic approach is proposed with a comprehensive system of archaeological documentation and visualization, which integrates the use of digital technologies in all steps of the archaeological process, enhances the tools of the scientific community, and provides immersive experiences for both researchers and the public. The results of the method include (1) a complex toolbox of innovative technologies that allow archaeologists to plan and execute a rescue excavation in an efficient and concise manner and (2) a VR installation at the Diachronic Museum of Chalkida “Arethousa”, which allows the public to participate in virtual rescue excavations and explore archaeological sites that are no longer accessible. Through this project, the impact of new technologies on cultural heritage and, in particular, on issues of sustainability, accessibility, education, and visitor participation is highlighted.

“…Another example is the study that Plecher et al (2022) presented a VR system which was developed combining with Serious Gaming elements to provide a virtual visit of an excavation site, the wreck site of Veliki Piruzi in Croatia. As recreational diving requires elements like training, equipment and the possibility to be at the diving site, it is not suitable for everyone.…”

The preservation of the archaeological heritage with appropriate techniques and methods ensures that it is transferred to future generations in a sustainable way. Various laws, charters and regulations at the national and international level serve as a guide for the right conservation approaches in these areas. However, ensuring sustainability in the protection of cultural heritage is possible by transferring information to society through correct presentation techniques and creating awareness and consciousness in individuals. With the rapid developments in technology, computer-based visualization techniques are used in the presentation of cultural heritage. It has been seen in digital applications that started to be developed in the 2000’s that immersive technologies such as VR and AR, which are applied in fields such as education, health, automotive, entertainment, etc., can be used effectively in the presentation of cultural heritage. In this article, international steps taken in the protection of archaeological heritage and immersive technologies are mentioned, the purposes of using these technologies as a presentation technique in the protection of archaeological heritage are classified and evaluated through examples. Technologies such as VR and AR have been found to be an effective tool in the representation of archaeological heritage and it is aimed that the examples presented will have an encouraging effect for more effective studies in the future.
