Extended reality in education has advanced, offering safe, immersive simulations. Agriculture, a key area, lacks urban exposure. HoloFarm, a VR-based farming simulation, addresses this gap using Unity and C#. It integrates physical movement, joystick navigation, and spatial audio for crop cultivation. Evaluated with 27 urban users via the Igroup Presence Questionnaire, it showed strong spatial (M=5.59) and general presence (M=5.81), though realism (M=4.10) and involvement (M=4.77). Future updates will enhance realism and enable collaborative learning, bridging theoretical and practical agricultural knowledge.
