Dr. Christoph Borst, Nicholas Lipari, and Jason Woodworth

A paper on Kvasir-VR will appear at IEEE VR 2018, the premiere academic VR conference. The paper includes analyzed data from the studies at high schools. It summarizes approaches for embedding a teacher into VR, shows promising test score gains for our main approach, and shows that students give very high ratings of the networked teacher (especially in terms of co-presence, overall rating, and perceived helpfulness of educational elements). Dr. Borst will present the paper in late March in Reutlingen, Germany.

We prepared a video to accompany the paper. Play the video below for an overview of the networked VR approach and environment used in the study.
