AB Educators are increasingly recognizing theadvantages and benefits of Virtual Reality to broaden theirteaching experiences in biology. Besides giving them anotherway to visualize learning objects, transforming their studentsfrom spectators to actors in the learning process. However, littlehas been discussed about the use of these low-cost immersiveenvironments. Thus, the reviewed publications were retrievedby extracting keywords from documents indexed in four digitalscientific libraries, which were then systematically filtered usingexclusion, inclusion, semi-automated methods. This paperaddresses three key points: which technologies are used inmicrobiology teaching, which of these are in the Virtual Realitytechnology domain, and which are implemented with low-costresources. The mapping was performed between applicationdomains and learning content and between design elements andlearning content. We noted that most of the reviewed works havean evaluation of the usability of the applications, not focusing onthe educational feasibility or the learning outcomes that can beobtained by them. We observed that the publications show gapsin the actual use and our review indicates unexplored areas, bothat the level of the application project centered on the user and inthe requirements of educational viability, thus being able tomotivate future work in the field.
