education; environment; virtual reality

Dynamically developing virtual reality technologies advance the possibilities of application in the creation of a virtual environment that complements or replaces the real environment of the organization. In the field of education, great application potential appears not only in educational processes, but also in other activities related to the operation of schools. In the paper we discuss key characteristics of the virtual environment, which is supposed to serve as a parallel virtual world for the school's activities. We defined the characteristics on the basis of experience with the virtual reality environment created and applied as part of the project solution dealing with the influence of virtual reality technologies on university students. © Proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Strategic Management and its Support by Information Systems, SMSIS 2023.
