Abstract : This study evaluates the effectiveness of Virtual Reality (VR) in enhancing spatial perception compared to traditional 2D representations in the context of interior design education. Conducted with Interior Architecture students at the University of Buraimi, the research utilized the Oculus Quest 2 VR headset to create an immersive environment. Participants assessed various spatial characteristics, such as depth, scale, and spatial relationships, using both printed materials and VR immersion. Findings indicate that VR significantly improves the accuracy and realism of spatial perception, providing a more comprehensive understanding of interior spaces. This research contributes to the growing body of knowledge on VR applications in architectural education, highlighting its potential benefits and challenges.
