• In Event: 52.056 - Presence, Engagement, and Learning in Immersive Virtual Reality and Educational Games

Abstract

Virtual Reality (VR) is seen as a technology, which gains an increasing importance in research, industry and education. Applying VR in education provide a hazard-free, explorative learning and a visualization of complex and abstract processes. Moreover, VR can further intensify the students’ learning experience to a more immersive and engaging involvement in the learning process. At this point, a learner-centered development of immersive virtual environments is crucial for a successful application in education. Therefore a user study is conducted which measures the impact of immersive user interfaces and user traits of the user experience in relation to task performance. Results of the study are outlined and discussed with a view of further research.
