“…It is a result of sensory mismatch, occurring when the visual system tells the body that is moving whilst the vestibular system tells the body it is stationary (Howarth & Costello, 1997 Tan, Leong, Shen, Dubravs, & Si, 2015). In other similar studies, participants also experienced various degrees of symptoms associated with cybersickness, however it did not take away from their experience and all participants still enjoyed the VR experience Settgast et al, 2016;von Mammen et al, 2016).…”

Consumer-grade virtual reality has recently become available for both desktop and mobile platforms and may redefine the way that students learn. However, the decision regarding which device to utilise within a curriculum is unclear. Desktop-based VR has considerably higher setup costs involved, whereas mobile-based VR cannot produce the quality of environment due to its limited processing power. This study aimed to compare performance in an anatomical knowledge test between two virtual reality headsets, the Oculus Rift and Gear VR, as well as to investigate student perceptions and adverse health effects experienced from their use. An identical lesson on spine anatomy was presented to subjects using either the Oculus Rift or Gear VR, with no significant differences observed in test scores from participants using either device, with both groups answering 60% of the questions correctly. However, 40% of participants experienced significantly higher rates of nausea and blurred vision when using the Gear VR (P < 0.05). It was established that the more cost effective mobile-based VR was just as suitable for teaching isolated-systems than the more expensive desktop-based VR. These outcomes show great promise for the effective use of mobile-based virtual reality devices in medical and health science education.

“…However, a body of commercial work also has the potential to inform good design. While it is rare for commercial works to be the subject of rigorous empirical evaluations [15], market forces often have a similar effect in highlighting successful design solutions. The effect of 'natural selection' on game design has fed academic theorizing in the field of educational games, for example [2].…”

PlayStation VR has quickly built up a significant userbase of over a million headsets and its own ecosystem of games across a variety of genres. These games form part of a rapidly evolving testing ground for design solutions which can usefully inform HCI design for virtual reality. This paper reviews every PlayStation VR title released in the first three months of its lifecycle in order to identify emerging themes for locomotion. These themes are discussed with respect to the lessons learned as part of the on-going development of an Environmental Narrative game for PlayStation VR as part of the Horizon 2020 REVEAL project.

“…There are some common characteristics of immersion, such as cognitive involvement, real-world dissociation, emotional involvement, challenge, and control, which were observed by previous research. [38][39][40] For the purpose of immersion study, based on these characteristics, a well-validated Immersive Experience Questionnaire (IEQ) was created 41 and utilized to conduct user studies. 42,43 Considering that our system is a kind of educational storytelling system FIGURE 14 Average scores for each criterion of the two modes of hand gestures (1-Poor, 2-Fair, 3-Average, 4-Good, and 5-Excellent) FIGURE 13 Mean scores for each criterion of acceptability (1-Poor, 2-Fair, 3-Average, 4-Good, and 5-Excellent) instead of a recreational video game, as well as that the targeting players are young children, part of the questions in IEQ is carefully selected in this user study.…”

With the rapid development of human-computer interaction (HCI) technologies, the new media generation demands novel learning experiences with natural interaction and immersive experience. Considering that digital storytelling is a powerful pedagogical tool for young children, in this paper, we design an immersive storytelling environment which allows multiple players to use naturally interactive hand gestures to manipulate virtual puppetry for assisting narration. A set of multimodal interaction techniques is presented for a hybrid user interface that integrates existing 3D visualization and interaction devices including head-mounted displays (HMDs) and depth motion sensor. In this system, the young players could intuitively use hand gestures to manipulate a virtual puppet to perform a story and interact with props in a virtual stereoscopic environment. We have conducted a user experiment with four young children for pedagogical evaluation, as well as system acceptability and interactivity evaluation by postgraduate students. The results show that our framework has great potential to stimulate learning abilities of young children through collaboration tasks. The stereoscopic HMD outperformed the traditional monoscopic display in a comparison between the two.
