Abstract


This paper aims to introduce the VRChat (Virtual Reality Chat) application as a new learning communication tool, this application can be used for various things, from a place to talk, a place to study and even a place to play. The advantage of VRChat is that we can interact like in the real world, because this application implements a 3D system. As for the background of this writing because learning media such as zoom and google meet have become mainstream media. We have been doing learning processes with those media since the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. To support the review that will be carried out, we use descriptive quantitative methods. Questionnaires are used as a data collection method and are supported by literature review. Questionnaires are distributed to 93 communication science student respondents from Universitas Komputer Indonesia. The results of this study indicate that the VRChat application can have an influence on the quality of learning communication and provide a more realistic learning communication experience. This study concludes that VRChat can improve the quality of learning communication for students. This research is expected to assist the learning process in improving the quality of learning experience.
