Abstract

During the pandemic in Finland, most childbirth education (CBE) programs were canceled or transferred online. We aimed to improve the situation by developing a virtual reality (VR) CBE. This article describes the process of developing a VR CBE pilot program and the results from the preliminary user test. To create the VR experience, we used 360° videos as the main content. The program is usable with VR headsets, a computer, tablet, and smartphone. When using the program with a VR headset, the users felt they were in the birthing room; they did not feel motion sickness, nor did they have usability challenges. The users preferred using the program on their own, studying independently with a tablet or mobile device.

利用 360° 视频进行虚拟现实分娩教育。

在芬兰大流行期间，大多数分娩教育（CBE）课程都被取消或转到了网上。我们的目标是通过开发虚拟现实（VR）分娩教育来改善这一状况。本文介绍了开发虚拟现实 CBE 试点项目的过程以及初步用户测试的结果。为了创造 VR 体验，我们使用 360° 视频作为主要内容。该程序可通过 VR 头显、电脑、平板电脑和智能手机使用。在使用 VR 头戴设备时，用户感觉自己置身于分娩室，没有晕动症，也没有可用性方面的问题。用户更喜欢自己使用程序，用平板电脑或移动设备独立学习。
