Head-mounted displays (HMD) are becoming more affordable and immersive content more available. Consequently, the home-use of fully immersive virtual environments (IVE) has the potential for increasing significantly in the years to come. Studies suggest that primary/K-12 education can largely benefit from IVE. The existing literature reviews about this topic are almost a decade old, when access to virtual reality was restricted or did not specifically focus on this education level and setting. In this context, this article presents a literature review about learning outcomes from using fully HMD-based IVE in primary/K-12 education. It highlights relevant studies, identifies gaps, and provides insights for future research.
