Virtual Reality is more commonly associated with gaming, shopping, and the hype surrounding ‘the metaverse’ than an educational application within a business school.

But, is this all about to change? Roberta Di Palma, a lecturer in the Department of Marketing and Supply Chain Management at the School of Business and Economics at Maastricht University and Lab Manager of the newly initiated Digital Experience Laboratory, DEXLab, shares her vision for the future applications of VR within the business educational context.
