“…According to other research efforts using Oculus Rift (POLCAR & HOREJSI 2013;Treleaven et al 2015), symptoms related to cybersickness episodes, such as nausea and headaches, were witnessed. This is a concern worth some consideration when developing further studies with the prototype.…”

Gestural interaction devices emerged and originated various studies on multimodal human-computer interaction to improve user experience. However, there is a knowledge gap regarding the use of these devices to enhance learning.We present an exploratory study which analysed the user experience with a multimodal immersive videogame prototype, based on a Portuguese historical/cultural episode. Evaluation tests took place in high school environments and public videogaming events. Two users would be present simultaneously in the same virtual reality environment: one as the helmsman aboard Vasco da Gama's XV-century Portuguese ship, another as the mythical Adamastor stone giant at the Cape of Good Hope. The helmsman player wore a virtual reality headset to explore the environment, whereas the giant player used body motion to control the giant, and observed results on a screen, with no headset. This allowed a preliminary characterization of user experience, identifying challenges and potential use of these devices in multi-user virtual learning contexts. We also discuss the combined use of such devices, towards future development of similar systems, and its implications on learning improvement through multimodal human-computer interaction.

“…In contrast to vividness and interactivity, one component that negatively contributes to presence is simulator sickness (Maraj et al 2017). Various experimental studies (e.g., Treleaven et al 2015;Draper et al 2001) have reported that the use of VR devices applying HMD can cause simulator sickness, which has a negative effect on presence. The analysis revealed that there are study results indicating relief from simulator sickness when the inputs entering the visual and vestibular organs are consistent based on the movement in a virtual space through actual walking and movement (Chance et al 1998).…”

This paper examines the possibility of experiential learning in a virtual space using head-mounted-display-based immersive virtual reality (VR) technologies. Experiential learning refers to learning through direct experiences in the context of learning. Realistically, experiential learning is impossible in most cases, but VR technologies allowing direct interaction with virtual environments and objects are being developed and commercialized. These technologies are predicted to enhance vividness, interactivity, presence, flow, and experientiality, and increase the expectations of the possibility of experiential learning using VR. Thus, in this study, an experiment was conducted to verify such possibility. The analysis of the experiment results showed that the tactile interactivity and presence improved with the use of enhanced interaction technologies in VR, and in terms of experientiality, the experiment participants became highly aware of the "exploratory stage," referring to the level of experience of being exposed to an interesting site and directly touching an object in the currently enhanced VR in providing direct tactile and locomotive interactivity. Furthermore, the fact that the learning effect is also partially enhanced was discovered. Accordingly, it was determined that experiential learning using VR is possible based on the experiment results, which showed that the enhanced vividness and interactivity of VR technologies allow the users to closely recognize virtual experiences as direct experiences, and that the learning effect is enhanced. It was also determined that experiential learning in a virtual environment that is identical to an experience in reality would be made possible in the near future based on continued technological development.

“…An attractive aspect of virtual reality (VR) is that it can be used to present visual stimuli under more realistic viewing conditions. However, VR introduces discomfort for an estimated 25-40% of individuals including motion sickness (e.g., [28]). In the current study, we have provided evidence that such discomfort arises from sensory cue conflicts, in particular, conflicts related to motion parallax cues.…”

Motion sickness varies across observers. While some experience immediate and severe symptoms, others seem relatively immune. Multiple explanations have been advanced. Some argue that conflicting cues provided by the visual and vestibular systems are the underlying cause. Others claim postural sway, which differs between the sexes, can explain previouslyreported motion sickness susceptibility differences. We used virtual reality to test these accounts.We found that an observer's visual sensitivity to motion parallax predicted susceptibility, but found little evidence for differences based on sex (N = 95; 59 females, 36 males). Furthermore, our results suggest that sex differences are likely due to poor personalization of VR displays, which default to male settings and introduce cue conflicts for the majority of females. These results suggest that the probability of detecting cue conflicts is limited by an observer's sensitivity to specific sensory cues and thus identify a cause for differences in motion sickness severity.
