This study explores public perceptions of Virtual Reality (VR) in design and education through 100 social media posts from TikTok, YouTube, and Reddit. Using text and sentiment analysis, it examines the factors driving positive, negative, and neutral sentiments among designers, educators, and VR users. Findings reveal optimism about VR’s potential for design and learning, alongside concerns about precision, cost, accessibility, and ergonomics. Designers appreciate VR for prototyping but question its use for detailed work, while educators value its immersive learning potential but worry about costs and health risks. VR users praise its creativity but often overlook technical quality. The study emphasizes the need for continued collaboration to improve VR's effectiveness in these fields.
