The rapid advancement of virtual reality (VR) technology offers novel opportunities to enhance consumer food choices and nutrition education. This study investigates the impact of VR on consumer behavior regarding food selection and dietary choices. By immersing users in interactive, simulated environments that provide realistic food experiences and educational content, VR has the potential to influence individuals' food preferences and nutritional knowledge. We conducted a series of VR-based interventions with participants from diverse demographic backgrounds. These interventions included virtual grocery store tours, interactive cooking demonstrations, and simulated nutritional educational scenarios. We evaluated the effectiveness of these VR experiences through pre- and post-intervention surveys, food diaries, and behavioral observations. Our findings indicate that VR can significantly impact consumer food choices by making nutritional information more engaging and accessible. Participants who experienced VR-based nutrition education showed improved dietary knowledge and made healthier food choices compared to those who received traditional educational methods. Additionally, VR’s immersive nature facilitated a deeper understanding of nutrition concepts and encouraged positive changes in eating behaviors. The results highlight VR’s potential as a powerful tool in nutrition education and public health interventions. By integrating VR technology into educational programs, it is possible to create more effective and engaging strategies to promote healthier eating habits and enhance overall nutritional awareness.
