“…First, VR can promote exploration and interaction, which promotes deep observation and empathy. Prior research has suggested that an explorable space is crucial in codesign (Evans and Söderlund, 2021). VR can provide a space in which students gain first-hand experience of their ideas (Jensen, 2017;Lin et al, 2020) and closely study their design in the aspects of materials and artistic aesthetics (Huang et al, 2018), which helps stimulate cognitive actions and divergent design thinking (Lee et al, 2019).…”

“…Owing to the limitations of technological development, virtual collaboration cannot be as efficient as F2F collaboration; however, it may be more efficient than other traditional online collaborations, and therefore, a hybrid method of interaction is required (Skrupskaya et al, 2021). In addition to the disadvantage of technological limitations, VR systems may negatively impact users' cognitions, considering user familiarity (Gül, 2014), because the lack of experience in using VR may yield negative results (Jensen, 2017;Evans and Söderlund, 2021;Qian, 2021).…”

“…As such, the findings suggested that both kinesthetic and visual learners benefit from tangible interfaces (Chandrasekera and Yoon, 2015), and thus, this research direction should be further explored. In addition, virtual design environment tools must be studied from the perspective of a university (Jenek et al, 2021) because the dearth of educational experience is a fundamental problem that affects experimental results (Jensen, 2017;Evans and Söderlund, 2021;Qian, 2021), and unfamiliarity results in cognitive load (Chen et al, 2022).…”

As a methodology, design thinking involves practicing “a way of thinking” that non-designers can use as a source of inspiration instead being limited to a group of professional designers. This methodology has gained research attention because of the growing demands for social innovation and sustainability. The general public is expected to gain design-thinking skills through training or by applying design-thinking tools. Virtual reality (VR) is considered a potential tool to help accelerate augmenting design-thinking skills because it allows users to have embodied and immersive experiences. This study reviews existing literature on how VR has been used to enhance design-thinking skills. The general features of the publications such as the year of publication, design-thinking stages, VR types, targeted participants, and publication fields are analyzed for determining the latest trends and scenarios under this research topic. Further, a thematic analysis that follows creative enhancement structures is conducted to understand the role of VR in enhancing design-thinking skills, and future research directions are discussed based on the results. The review concludes that VR has the potential to enhance creativity in many aspects. Moreover, it highlights the need of gaining deeper understanding about 1) art, humanities, and societal perspectives; 2) cognition processes in VR; 3) emphasizing and defining stages in the design-thinking process; 4) technological improvements combined with the Metaverse; and 5) hybrid of the virtual and real worlds.
