VIRTUAL New Schools of Thought

Abstract

The integration of immersive technology into interactive websites for interior design education has opened up new possibilities for innovative learning approaches in this discipline. This research aims to fill the existing knowledge gap concerning the use of immersive technology in the pedagogy of interior design through interactive websites, thereby improving virtual learning experiences. Utilizing a qualitative research methodology, the study was carried out in two main phases: the first phase involved research activities such as surveys and literature reviews to identify the needs and challenges related to the collection of information on immersive technology, interactive websites, interactive design platforms, and interior design education; the second phase focused on the implementation of immersive technology and interactive platforms via the interactive website. The results reveal that the combination of these interactive technologies and platforms within a website provides valuable insights and practical resources for interior design education, aiding in the acquisition, exploration, and development of information, including design inspiration and relevant knowledge in the field. These findings not only highlight the potential advantages of integrating immersive technology with interactive design platforms but also introduce an innovative pedagogical tool that underscores the importance of an interdisciplinary approach in design education, ultimately aiming to enhance the interactivity of interior design instruction and promote ongoing research into new interactive virtual learning methodologies in this area.
