Summary
Virtual reality (VR) enhances student learning. Three-dimensional VR videos significantly improved learning ability and attention compared to two-dimensional videos, indicating VR
Area of Science:
- Educational Technology
- Human-Computer Interaction
- Neuroscience
Background:
- Universities prioritize education and learning, employing diverse tools to engage students.
- Virtual reality (VR), an immersive computer-mediated experience, is increasingly integrated into educational settings.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the impact of virtual reality (VR) on students' learning capabilities.
- To analyze the physiological responses associated with VR learning environments.
Main Methods:
- Students viewed 2D and 3D videos, with learning assessed via questionnaires.
- Brain and facial muscle activity were analyzed during video viewing.
- Fractal theory was employed to evaluate student attention levels.
Main Results:
- Learning ability was significantly higher in the 3D VR condition compared to the 2D condition.
- Physiological signal analysis indicated increased student attention towards 3D VR content.
Conclusions:
- Virtual reality (VR) conditions demonstrably enhance student learning outcomes.
- The study's analytical framework can be expanded to assess additional physiological signals within VR environments.
