Linking virtual reality, architecture, and crime prevention for educational purposes

Abstract This paper presents selected links between the complex fields of architecture, use virtual reality (as a part computer science), and their potential in helping tackle crime. The presented information sets general background for development put forward prototype new immersive learning experience to provide deeper understanding CPTED concepts enhance traditional curriculum overall retention knowledge. In better technology raises stakes. Architecture’s side communicating ideas managing has been reflected BIM. Technology is one component larger social, economic, business revolutions that will continue have substantial impact on markets which architects deliver services. Technological progress enables blurring boundaries world. It source inspiration some freedom architectural design. theory education also influenced by technologies. There are scientific studies suggesting may be more efficient than real Current VR systems features perceptual expansion, creative construction, unique social interactivity. now hundreds university architecture programmes with AR labs all over We changed way designing thinking about our cities, including safety. global nature crime brought international cooperation field prevention, example being security concept. New visual stimuli, such as VR, broaden housing design, burglary risk CPTED, help prevent pedagogical promise, it can used not only assess hypothetical environments, but track, shape affect subjects’ towards them. many practical this purpose, points at niche research conducted area.
