The popularity of Virtual immersive environments (VIEs) in recent years has given these emerging tools the potential to transform how people learn. However, creating these environments requires unique technical knowledge and skills. This section will explore some of the technical knowledge required for VIE.

One critical technical knowledge required for creating a VIE is knowledge of computer graphics. Knowledge of computer graphics software like Unity, Unreal Engine, or Blender can assist designers in creating engaging and realistic VIEs. The software knowledge includes modeling, animating, and applying textures to 3D objects. 
Most of these skills are crucial for designing an enhanced environment that feels natural to users and gives them an immersive experience.

In addition to other technical knowledge, programming skills are essential for creating VIEs, enabling designers to develop interactive content within the virtual environment. Software tools like Unity and Unreal Engine utilize scripting languages like C-sharp and Java suitable for object-orientated programming. Therefore, a deep understanding of these programming languages is crucial for crafting effective scripts that define the behavior of objects in the environment.

Another critical technical knowledge required for VIE is knowledge of 3D sound. Sound is an essential element in creating an immersive environment. The sound must be spatially accurate to match the user's visual experience. 

Knowledge of virtual and augmented reality hardware is essential in creating a VIE. This includes knowledge of head-mounted displays, handheld controllers, and motion capture devices. These devices are integral to VIE systems, allowing users to interact with the environment seamlessly.

Lastly, designers must know about user experience (UX) design. UX design is a critical aspect of creating a VIE. Knowledge about UX allows designers to create environments that are easy to use and ables users to interact with the environment meaningfully. The design must be intuitive and lead to a positive user experience.

Creating a VIE requires a unique set of technical knowledge and skills. Computer graphics, programming, 3D sound, virtual and augmented reality hardware, and UX design are all essential skills for creating an immersive and engaging learning environment. As technology evolves, designers must continue to learn and adapt to remain relevant in VIE design.
