Virtual Possibilities: Exploring the Role of Emerging Technologies in Work and Learning Environments
- The present work aims to investigate whether virtual reality can support learning as well as vocational work environments. To this end, four studies were conducted, with the first set investigating the demands for vocational workers and the impact of input methods on participant performance. These studies laid the foundation needed to create studies incorporating virtual reality research. The second set of studies was concerned with the impact of virtual reality on learning performance as well as the influence of binaural stimuli presentation on task performance. Results of each study are discussed individually and in conjunction with one another. The four studies are further supplemented with further research conducted by the author as well as an analysis of the growing field of virtual reality-based research. The thesis closes by embedding the discussed work into the scientific landscape and tries to give an outlook for virtual reality-based use cases in the future.
