To assess differences in situational interest dimensions and cognitive load subtypes between university students using a wearable spherical video-based virtual reality guide and those using a tablet-based map guide.
Assigned university students to either a wearable spherical video-based virtual reality (SVVR) guide group or a tablet map-guide group to learn library functions.
Evaluated outcomes using a prior knowledge test, practical field tasks, a situational interest scale, and a multi-component cognitive load scale.
Students using the wearable SVVR guide demonstrated significantly greater levels of novelty and challenge on the situational interest scale compared to the map-guide group (quantitative values not reported).
The SVVR intervention produced higher germane cognitive load relative to tablet-based map guidance, reflecting greater mental resources dedicated to processing learning materials.
