Key result
3D virtual reality increases student learning ability and attention versus 2D viewing.
Why the study?
Virtual reality has recently been implemented in educational environments, but its effect on students' learning ability and physiological state required analysis.
Does a virtual reality condition improve learning ability and attention in students compared to a two-dimensional condition?
Does a virtual reality condition improve learning ability and attention in students compared to a two-dimensional condition?
Virtual reality conditions may enhance student learning ability and attention compared to traditional two-dimensional viewing.
VR may enhance educational learning and attention; leaves open translation to clinical training or cardiovascular skills acquisition.
BACKGROUND: Education and learning are the most important goals of all universities. For this purpose, lecturers use various tools to grab the attention of students and improve their learning ability. Virtual reality refers to the subjective sensory experience of being immersed in a computer-mediated world, and has recently been implemented in learning environments. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of a virtual reality condition on students' learning ability and physiological state. METHODS: Students were shown 6 sets of videos (3 videos in a two-dimensional condition and 3 videos in a three-dimensional condition), and their learning ability was analyzed based on a subsequent questionnaire. In addition, we analyzed the reaction of the brain and facial muscles of the students during both the two-dimensional and three-dimensional viewing conditions and used fractal theory to investigate their attention to the videos. RESULTS: The learning ability of students was increased in the three-dimensional condition compared to that in the two-dimensional condition. In addition, analysis of physiological signals showed that students paid more attention to the three-dimensional videos. CONCLUSIONS: A virtual reality condition has a greater effect on enhancing the learning ability of students. The analytical approach of this study can be further extended to evaluate other physiological signals of subjects in a virtual reality condition.

Babini et al. (2020) studied Learning. Three-dimensional (virtual reality) video condition vs. Two-dimensional video condition was evaluated on Learning ability and attention. A three-dimensional virtual reality condition increased students' learning ability and attention compared to a two-dimensional condition.
