Paper Writing

Dr. Christoph Borst, Nicholas Lipari, and Jason Woodworth

Our test data from high school studies has been evaluated. We considered how the livestreamed Kvasir-VR approach compared to a non-networked version of the field trip that used prerecorded imagery. The results will be incorporated into an academic paper for a VR conference. We found that a networked version of the virtual teacher produced promising test score gains when it was experienced in a dedicated classroom for the VR. Student ratings suggest students experience a very high sense of the teacher’s presence in the environment.

An overview of our paper “Teacher-Guided Educational VR : Assessment of Live and Prerecorded Teachers Guiding Virtual Field Trips” to be published in IEEE VR 2018.
