Implication

Structural equation modeling reveals key drivers of virtual reality adoption among students and professors, suggesting enjoyment and ease of use outweigh cybersickness concerns.

Key Points

To identify technological, psychological, and health factors that determine the continuous intention to adopt virtual reality in educational settings.
Surveyed students and professors with prior experience using virtual reality headsets in educational contexts.
Evaluated an extended Technology Acceptance Model incorporating hedonism, personal innovativeness, and cybersickness using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM).
Perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and personal innovativeness positively influenced continuous VR usage intention.
Hedonism exerted a positive effect on both perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness.
Cybersickness demonstrated no significant impact on VR adoption decisions.
