“…A 360° video is a panoramic video filmed with an omnidirectional camera that allows the viewer to have an uninterrupted vision of the scenes in an uninterrupted circle rather than the fixed viewpoint of traditional twodimensional (2D) videos (Rupp et al, 2019). Studies show that when such videos are viewed with a HMD rather than on a typical 2D screen, the resulting 360° VR video experience 6 becomes more natural and immersive due to its ability to place the user in the centre of the scene and block the real world from the view of the user (Bessa et al, 2016;Hosseini, 2017;Hosseini & Swaminathan, 2017;G. Wang et al, 2018;Zhou et al, 2017).…”

This study investigated the potential of Virtual Reality (VR), using 360-degree (360°) videos, as a tool to teach children about water-safety skills. Children (n = 182) aged 10 to 12 years were randomly assigned to learn about water safety using one of three instructional mediums: 2 360° VR videos, traditional video, or poster. The training was designed to address specific themes that contributed to drowning in coastal environments, allowing children to learn about dangers of rip currents in a relatively safe environment. Overall, 95% showed improved knowledge of water safety after participating in the water-safety workshop and retained their knowledge during the subsequent tests both one and eight weeks later. No difference was found in the learning outcomes obtained across the three mediums; however, participants in the 360° VR medium reported higher levels of interest and enjoyment than participants using the other two mediums (91% of students in the 360° VR video group found the activity engaging versus 61% for traditional video and 51% for the poster). Teacher feedback also indicated that 360° VR videos are a useful, engaging, and effective method of learning.Overall, we found support for the hypothesis that 360° VR videos are a useful tool to teach targeted skills, and that using 360° VR videos is more motivating and engaging than using traditional learning methods. We also found evidence to support the hypothesis that 360° VR videos are an effective tool for self-directed learning.

“…The conventional videos limit the viewer's point of view, while 360° videos are more interactive and allow transporting within the virtual environment. It also gives the opportunity to watch through the given scene with the freedom to look [39] at any direction of the moving image. 360° video provides better realistic perception while integrated with 3D technology.…”

“…360° video provides better realistic perception while integrated with 3D technology. Earlier studies found that 3D experience delivered a higher sense of perceived depth and perceived sharpness [39] [40] with a faster perception of depth [39] [41]and more exact size or shape of the 3D objects [39] [42].…”

This paper aims to explore the impact of sense of presence and cybersickness on the users' expectancy and perceived similarity between virtual and the corresponding real environments. Two virtual reality setups were tested (non-immersive and immersive) to achieve further conclusions. This research encompassed a quantitative analysis using data collection based on questionnaires, applied to a sample of 45 participants. A virtual experience was conducted (to explore users' cybersickness and sense of presence), followed by a visit to the actual real sites (to determine the degree of perceived similarity between the virtual and the corresponding real environment and if their expectations were fulfilled). Our results show a positive correlation between the global sense of presence and perceived similarity and users' expectancy for the nonimmersive VR setup. A positive correlation was also found between the global cybersickness on both perceived similarity and users' expectancy for the immersive VR setup. Implications of such results for virtual tourism are discussed.
