“…Immersion refers to the extent to which the VR environment is able to capture and engage the user’s senses and attention, creating a sense of being physically present in the virtual world. This has been achieved through various technical improvements, such as high-resolution displays, better tracking systems and more realistic haptic feedback Al-Jundi and Tanbour (2022). For example, The VR training system designed by Pulijala et al (2018) provides an immersive VR experience using a leap motion tracker and haptic technology force feedback.…”

Purpose This systematic review, following preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis guidelines, rigorously investigates the emergent role of virtual reality (VR) technology in human movement training. The purpose of this study is to explore the effectiveness and evolution of VR in enhancing movement training experiences. Design/methodology/approach Acknowledging its pivotal role in diverse applications, such as sports and rehabilitation, human movement training is currently experiencing accelerated evolution, facilitated by the proliferation of wearable devices and mobile applications. This review conducted an exhaustive search across five different electronic databases, such as Web of Science, PubMed and ProQuest, resulting in the selection of 69 eligible articles published within the past five years. It also integrates 40 studies into a narrative summary, categorized based on the level of immersion offered by respective VR systems. Findings Enhanced immersion in VR potentially augments the effectiveness of movement training by engendering more realistic and captivating experiences for users. The immersive and interactive environments provided by VR technology enable tailored training experiences accompanied by precise, objective feedback. This review highlights the benefits of VR in human movement training and its potential to revolutionize the way training is conducted. Originality/value This systematic review contributes significantly to the existing literature by providing a comprehensive examination of the efficacy and evolution of VR in human movement training. By organizing the findings based on the level of immersion offered by VR systems, it provides valuable insights into the importance of immersion in enhancing training outcomes. In addition, this study identifies the need for future research focusing on the impacts of VR on learning and performance, as well as strategies to optimize its effectiveness and improve accessibility.

“…Other criteria included more than ten citations for publications older than ten years, and contained related reported results on the design of 3D UIs. Articles that address the design of 2D/3D UIs in/for 3D environments, help with answering the research questions or reiterating design guidelines and, as this work is a conjuncture of HCI and VR, highly cited works from reputable journals or conferences such as ACM's CHI [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32], IEEE's VR and TVCG [21,22,[33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44], as well as other conference and journal sources [13,[45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58] from between the early 2000s to 2023 were selected.…”

In the last decade, the use of virtual reality (VR) technologies has been increasing, as head-mounted display devices, such as the Meta Quest series, have become commercially accessible to everyday consumers. There are plenty of software applications developed for VR, ranging from games to serious training. Despite the fast-growing emergence of novel and natural gesture-based interface components, traditional windows, icons, menus, and pointer user interfaces still remain popular in these implementations. Therefore, navigating and interacting within 3-dimensional environments can still be challenging in virtual reality. This body of work will serve as a reference to the literature survey on 3-dimensional user interfaces and their implementations, and categorize them to reiterate a set of design recommendations for implementing 3-dimensional user interfaces in virtual reality. While questions revolve around the need for a 3-dimensional user interface if a 2-dimensional user interface suffices, we cannot ignore the capabilities and benefits offered when utilising 3-dimensional space. Unlike other work, this work proposes a novel metaphor-guided quadrant model to delineate the 3-dimensional user interface problem in an end-to-end manner. To achieve this, over 30 unique articles selected using a meta-analyses methodology were reviewed. The result highlights the dimensional semantics of the inputs and dimensional outcomes of the virtual targets. Notable reiterated design recommendations would match devices to interaction and then to the tasks in 3-dimensional environments, reducing the degrees of freedom, imposing constraints when possible, and not implementing one single best interaction technique. The results of this survey will be beneficial for virtual reality simulation designers or researchers attempting to determine the appropriate model when developing user interfaces for virtual reality content.

“…In the future, it could be interesting to study how this proposed program in uences the learning performance of students and if there are any differences between gender's perception. Having a high degree of identi cation with characters of both genders is related to creating a deep level of perceived immersion, which produces more believability for the user and has stronger effects on experiential learning [15].…”

Purpose Virtual reality (VR) technology used in experiential learning through simulation requires a high level of immersion and identification with characters to influence the learning outcomes and the expected level of interactivity. This study aimed to measure the empathy and identification with characters of experiential learning through an simulation based on immersive 360º virtual reality among physical therapy students corresponding to the different steps of a patient suffering from a stroke.Methods Spanish physical therapy students participated in a cross-sectional study watching a 360º filmation based on an immersive VR program called ¨Put yourself in my shoes¨. Identification with characters was evaluated with the self-applied scale of identification with the characters of fictional audiovisual stories (Escala De Identificación [EDI] Scale). A descriptive analysis and statistical differences between gender and Spanish language level in items was performed.Results Most of participants presented high values of identification with characters of EDI Scale. The results analysed in the different dimensions (affective empathy, cognitive empathy, feeling concern for their situation, and ability to fantasize or imagine) of this scale also present high values in participants regardless of gender or language level.Conclusion The implementation of simulation scenarios based on immersive VR technology as ¨Put yourself into my shoes¨ (¨Ponte en mis zapatos¨ ®) is considered by Spanish physical therapy students as a program that presents a high rate of identification with characters and empathy.
