Abstract: This paper conducts quantitative research on the assessment made by university professors of the didactic use of virtual reality technologies according to the level of technological development and digitization of their country. For this purpose, a survey was used, the responses to which were statistically analyzed, and the level of digitalization was differentiated through the country's global innovation index. The results show that the valuations of virtual reality as a teaching tool are high, but the competence for its use of university professors is intermediate. On the other hand, it was found that the higher the country's level of digital development, the more pronounced the gender gap in this study. Similarly, the higher the country's level of digital development, the smaller the age gap.
