The experience resonated with students on its own terms as well. Overall, 98 percent of participants found the simulation worthwhile. The study’s hypothesis, that participants would demonstrate reduced negative emotions, more positive attitudes and enhanced professional competencies, was supported by the…
A study of 69 first-year dental students found haptic virtual reality training significantly improved depth accuracy and floor smoothness in preclinical cavity preparations compared with conventional Perspex blocks alone. First-year dental students who trained on a haptic virtual reality simulator achieved…
Medical students preparing for a lumbar puncture exam learned the procedure just as well from a standard lecture or a 2D video as they did from an immersive 360-degree video, according to a randomized controlled trial conducted at Grenoble Alpes University…
A cluster randomized trial found nursing students trained with immersive 360-degree video scored markedly higher on simulated catheterization procedures than peers receiving conventional simulation training. Nursing students who watched faculty demonstrations filmed in immersive 360-degree video went on to perform…
A crossover trial of third-year medical students found head-mounted display virtual reality produced no significant performance or confidence gains over laptop-based simulation of identical emergency medicine scenarios.
Education is driving the future of VR more than any other industry outside of gaming. Here's why virtual reality gets such high marks for tutoring, STEM development, field trips and distance education. Virtual reality in education may sound like science…
Founder and veteran entrepreneur Vassili Philippov turned his passion for teaching science to his young children into a VC-backed company. MEL Science raises $6 million to make STEM more accessible to kids, EdSurge reports. TMT Investments led the round, which also…
Design thinking is a problem-solving approach taught as a sequence of steps: One of the most common mistakes educators make when working with VR is to focus on technology over learning. VR learning should go beyond aesthetics. Each object, space…
Immersive learning for science/health/trades and virtual field trips.
