The effectiveness of Virtual Reality Field Trips (VFTs) in Field Geology education

The ability for virtual reality and augmented reality to immerse the user into an alternate environment has been greatly improved in recent years, allowing for digitization of traditional geological field trips for use in creating virtual field trips (VFTs).These VFTs allow for students to visit sites that are otherwise inaccessible, and also allow for a combination of virtual and in-person field trips, whereby students are able to visit key sites virtually before an in-person field trip.
