“…It does not address which didactic methods such as flipped classroom, blended learning, role-playing or EduScrum are suitable for the use of VR and which are not. However, this is essential for the successful use of VR (Balzerkiewitz et al, 2022). Furthermore, there is no information on identified best practices or problems that have arisen in VR-based learning concepts.…”

Virtual reality plays an increasingly important role in design education. However, a holistic view, starting with the didactic concept, the selection of a VR tool suitable for the learning task and a final reflective evaluation of the learning experience, rarely takes place. In this paper, the authors present an approach for a VR didactics toolkit that covers and takes into account all three points as a whole. The application and research environment here was the bachelor's degree module Ergonomics and Industrial Design at the Ostfalia University of Applied Sciences.

Traditional teaching methods that use 2D videos or 3D simulators may have limitations in engineering education when covering complex concepts or complicated 3D structures. To address this problem, virtual reality (VR) has been introduced as a highly immersive teaching method that can increase students’ learning and understanding of 3D structures from multiple perspectives. The purpose of this study was to quantify how teaching methods that use VR can increase learning efficiency and comprehension of 3D structures. We used quiz and 3D reconstruction to assess the quantitative learning effects of VR and 2D videos on a total of 40 students. Training that used VR yielded a 12% improvement in post-test quiz scores and a 13% improvement in 3D reconstruction test scores compared to the traditional method. User evaluations confirmed that VR increased engagement by 11.9%, immersion by 18.6%, motivation by 10.3%, cognitive benefits by 9.3%, and perceived learning effectiveness by 8.7%. These results confirm that VR is more effective than traditional learning methods to aid general memorization and understanding, and specific comprehension of 3D structures.

“…The use of virtual reality (VR) to create instructions and assembly procedures has already been addressed in several papers [33,34]. Results have shown that there is a lack of evaluation methods applicable to industrial practice and it is difficult to obtain feedback, although there are methods aimed at learning effects [35]. Furthermore, it was found that virtual reality does not help to acquire motor skills [36] and is more suitable for workflow training [37].…”

This article deals with the rationalization of manufacturing processes within the product life cycle with emphasis on the pre-production phase of production. A new methodology for evaluating the applicability of modern visualization tools in manufacturing processes is presented. This methodology includes a modified Z-score for categorizing manufacturing processes and has been validated by the successful implementation of 10 real projects. Ultimately, the methodology provides a practical decision-making aid for manufacturing companies in deploying such Computer Aided Instruction tools. For the pre-production phase of products and their development, the possibilities of using modern visualization tools to support CAD instructions and assembly instructions are being explored. These modern visualization tools are video tutorials, augmented reality tutorials and virtual reality tutorials. This paper explores the use of these tools for rationalization of pre-production processes. A methodology was designed to select the most appropriate tool for rationalizing process execution in preparation for production. The functionality of the methodology was verified by applying the methodology in industrial practice and subsequent implementation of the recommended solutions. The methodology was validated by testing key combinations that can arise based on the methodology directly in the operations of manufacturing companies. A total of 10 implementations in real production processes were tailored to this study and carried out over 2 years and the functionality of the methodology was confirmed (that consisted also of a new software development). It was found that there is a dependency between the visualization tools chosen to create the instructions in the context of organizational production preparation and the nature of the production processes.
