“…It is therefore important to evaluate both outcomes and the process of implementation of VR technology through the involvement and experience of autistic individuals and the practitioners who work with them. Several researchers had made use of existing good autism education practice in their studies (see Strickland et al, 1996;Cheng et al, 2015) or made recommendations based on their findings (see Bozgeyikli et al, 2017), but this was not consistent across the studies.…”

Purpose-The use of virtual reality (VR) technologies in the education of autistic children has been a focus of research for over two decades. It is argued that this form of technology can provide authentic "real world" contexts that target social and life skills training in safe, controllable and repeatable virtual environments. The development of affordable VR head-mounted displays (HMD), such as Google cardboard and Oculus Rift, has seen a renewed interest in their use for a wide range of applications, including the education of autistic individuals. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach-A systematic search of electronic databases focussing on empirical studies on the use of VR-HMD for children and adults on the autism spectrum was undertaken. Findings-A review of the literature identified a limited number of studies in this field characterised by differences in the type of application, technology used and participant characteristics. Research limitations/implications-Whilst there are some grounds for optimism, more research is needed on the use of this technology within educational settings to ensure robust recommendations can be made on the implementation, use and sustainability of this approach. Originality/value-This paper is the first to consider the evidence base for the use of VR-HMD technology to support the needs of the autistic population.

“…Some technologies can be useful in helping ASD students in their transition problems to University. Even though there is still scarce evidence, it seems that the use of Virtual Reality has a great potential as a facilitating strategy [77]. The fact that virtual environments can re-create real ones, and the student can train social, emotional, and academic situations in a safe way, suggests that VR can be an appropriate tool to help these students [64].…”

The number of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) postsecondary students going to University is increasing. Nonetheless, these students face more difficulties than their neuro-typical peers, due to their communication and behaviour impairments. This fact is widely recognized worldwide, and there is an increasing concern in providing them with adequate support both in their transition and beyond. The purpose of this paper is twofold. Firstly, to provide an overall summary of the general requirements of ASD students in the postsecondary education transition with strategies for facilitation, and, secondly, to analyse the possibilities of Virtual Reality (VR) as a support instrument in the transition process. We rely on a brief review of the literature to summarize the main needs and current strategies. In spite of the increasing concern, there is room for establishing general protocols to help the transition process. The use VR in fulfilling this task appears limited, but it seems to be promising.

“…Finally, in the interactive aspect, it is necessary to ensure the real-time and feedback characteristics of the virtual reality system. In other words, the system can identify human natural movements such as head rotation, gestures, etc., and can provide feedback to various senses of people in real time, allowing users to interact naturally with the system environment and other users [6][7][8]. The working mode of virtual reality is shown in " Fig.…”

With the development of economy and society, virtual reality technology has been paid more and more attention and gradually applied to various industries. Because of the interaction, immersion and real-time of virtual reality technology, its application in the field of architecture has a wide range of prospects. Especially in interior decoration and design, the advantages of this technology are unparalleled with other technologies. The interior design of virtual reality can make designers and users realize the effect of "what you see is what you get," and at the same time, make users feel the artistic conception in the virtual scene of this design. In this paper, with the audience residential buildings as the research object, the research and analysis of interior decoration are conducted using immersive virtual reality technology, which provides a theoretical basis for better research and development of interior design assisted by immersive VR technology.
