Abstract

As the cost of rendering immersive virtual reality goes down, VR technology has the potential to improve the learning outcomes of educational and training programs. In this context, it is important to identify the advantages and pitfalls of using VR as a training tool. This review is an attempt to evaluate VR technology as a training tool and various factors that impact its effectiveness. It was found that virtual reality has been used and tested extensively in surgical training with mixed results. Apart from the effectiveness and the cost of VR as a training tool, the other factors that will influence the widespread adoption of this technology for training are skill retention and task interruption. If VR is to be used for longer training sessions, interruptions are inevitable in the form of restroom breaks, texting etc., and hence it is important to study their impact on learning outcomes. Hence, a brief review of these topics in the context of VR and learning has been included in this study. In conclusion, it was found that although the use of VR as a training tool holds a lot of promise, its widespread adoption will depend on its adaptability to different training settings and its impact on learning outcomes, including factors like skill retention and task interruption.

探索虚拟现实作为任务中断情况下的学习工具的有效性:系统回顾
随着渲染沉浸式虚拟现实的成本降低,VR 技术有可能改善教育和培训项目的学习效果。在这种情况下,必须明确将 VR 用作培训工具的优势和缺陷。本综述试图对作为培训工具的 VR 技术以及影响其有效性的各种因素进行评估。研究发现,虚拟现实技术已被广泛用于外科培训并进行了测试,但结果喜忧参半。除了虚拟现实技术作为培训工具的有效性和成本外,影响广泛采用这种技术进行培训的其他因素还有技能保持和任务中断。如果要将 VR 技术用于较长时间的培训课程,上厕所、发短信等形式的中断在所难免,因此研究这些中断对学习效果的影响非常重要。因此,本研究简要回顾了 VR 与学习背景下的这些主题。总之,研究发现,虽然将 VR 用作培训工具大有可为,但其广泛采用将取决于其对不同培训环境的适应性及其对学习成果的影响,包括技能保持和任务中断等因素。
