CONCLUSION
• Noticed several gaps in the area
• Possible new directions for development in
the future
– One of these gaps is the use of virtual reality tools
in education
– Another gap that is worth mentioning is the lack
of tools that include smell and taste senses
• Confucius
– Learning without thought is labor lost
– Thought without learning is perilous
