Abstract

Virtual reality (VR) is transforming education, particularly in technical higher education institutions, by enabling immersive learning environments. This paper examines the professional requirements and competencies necessary for integrating VR-based educational processes in top technical universities. The study highlights the required skill sets for educators, the infrastructure demands, and the competencies students must develop. Using reliable references, we provide a structured analysis supported by tables and discuss the implications for policy and curriculum design.
