<![CDATA[Normal childbirth is crucial for hands-on practice, and numerous simulations are conducted by midwifery students. In this case study, midwifery students at Undiksha face challenges such as work-from-home conditions and pathological risks which hinder their ability to engage in direct practice. The lack of immersive learning media is another issue, as the media typically used for practice is limited to videos, which do not provide an immersive experience. To address this, this research developed a Virtual Reality (VR) application using the MDLC (Multimedia Development Life Cycle) model for normal childbirth simulation. The application was created using Unity Engine, Blender, and the Oculus Integration package, aiming to enhance the understanding and practical skills of midwifery students at Universitas Pendidikan Ganesha (Undiksha). The development stages included conceptualization, design, material collection, creation, testing, and distribution. Testing results showed that the application is valid and suitable for use as a learning tool. Tests with OVR, media experts, and content experts yielded excellent results, while field testing using the UEQ instrument resulted in an overall rating of "excellent" in terms of attractiveness, clarity, efficiency, precision, stimulation, and novelty. The results of this study found that VR is effective in creating realistic simulations, preparing students, especially in the medical field, to face real situations.]]>
