First-time user's experience and learning in virtual reality
Škopová, Alena ; Hrabec, Ondřej (advisor) ; Mikuláš, Martin (referee)
This work focuses on the experience of the first-time user in virtual reality. It explores the psychological and pedagogical aspect of this experience and learning in virtual reality. The theoretical part explains immersion, presence, suspense of disbelief and cognitive presence in order to better explain the users' experience. The process of experiencing VR is compared with a more traditional experiential pedagogy and with its two models. The empirical part is based on data from observations and in-depth semi-structural interviews. 3 years worth of practice by working in the field of research, the VR Dimension gaming centre, is also included in the interpretation of results. The thesis explores the feelings of participants, the perceived depth of their immersion and what might break it in different situations; and their experience in different games, where they felt discomfort, fear or excitement and awe. It also tries to detect the problems that a teacher might encounter when using this technology for educative purposes and offers the solutions based on literature or the researcher's own experience of using this technology. This thesis is meant for anyone who wishes to teach others using VR or for anyone interested in some of the obstruction that may arise.
