“…Researchers of VR technology have identified three key attributes of users' psychological experiences during VR exposure: immersion, presence/telepresence, and interactivity. However, there remains contention in the definition of these experiences within the literature, and limited research has been dedicated to understanding how such experiences relate to and influence one another (Mütterlein, 2018). Therefore, the present research is intended to address gaps in the literature by providing validation for the aforementioned three constructs of users' psychological experiences of VR environments, as well as assessing relationships among these factors.…”

“…The authors frame their discussion of immersion objectively in terms of a quantifiable set of system capabilities; for example, the inclusiveness aspect refers to the capacity of the system to block out competing sensory input from the user's external environment, while vividness is concerned with the resolution and fidelity of displays. In contrast, Mütterlein (2018) suggests that while immersion certainly appears to be constrained by the technological capabilities of the system, it also appears that users will experience varying levels of "immersiveness" depending on the type of VR content they are exposed to, even if the same technology is employed in both cases.…”

“…Despite the empirical support for telepresence as a distinctive mental state with implications on individuals' performance and learning transfer in VR environments, do we have good reason to treat immersion as an independent psychological factor? Mütterlein and Hess (2018) and Mütterlein (2018) maintain that immersion and telepresence represent conceptually distinct psychological experiences. The authors suggest value in the use of flow-based measures of psychological immersion to clarify ambiguities between immersion and telepresence definitions.…”

“…Research in VR technology has identified three key components of user psychological experiences in simulated environments that may affect cognitive performance: immersion, telepresence, and interactivity (Mütterlein, 2018). Telepresence refers to the subjective experience of being physically located within a simulated environment (Minsky, 1980).…”

Flight simulators that use virtual reality (VR) displays are becoming more prevalent in the aviation domain, enabling situation awareness (SA) training and assessment paradigms that integrate a broad range of aircraft types and flight environments. Research has identified three key components of user psychological experiences during VR exposure that may affect cognitive performance: immersion, telepresence, and interactivity. The primary objective of this study was to validate and quantify the effects of these VR experience constructs on pilot SA at the levels of information processing and comprehension. Effects of age and experience were also explored, as these factors are known to influence achievement of SA. Findings from this research will provide insight into the ways in which pilots' psychological experiences of VR flight simulators affect their cognitive processing. Moreover, the results of this work will inform the design of improved VR systems for the training and assessment of pilot SA.3

Emerging technologies coupled with the power of big data will transform organizations, requiring drastic changes to traditional approaches in training, communications, and team collaboration, to name only a few examples. Scholars and practitioners in the HRD field are tasked with empirically studying these new phenomena in order to assist both employees and organizations in effectively transitioning to future work. The advent of technological innovations has opened a new frontier of simulated training, including virtual reality‐based simulations (VRBS). But are these innovations more effective than traditional approaches, such as video‐based training (VBT)? Empirical investigations of these emerging technologies have been limited in the field of HRD. The current study addresses the gap in the HRD literature by conducting the first empirical research related to VR technology and its impact on training. The paper examines VRBS with a mixed methods research design within the interpersonal skills training context, experimentally comparing the effectiveness of this new medium to more traditional training platforms such as VBT. Results were mixed, with all hypotheses at least partially supported by data. Findings suggest that VR does engage trainees more fully and generate more transferable knowledge than video. The paper triangulates quantitative and qualitative data to draw conclusions and highlight issues that are emerging along with this new technology.
