“…97 Variation in pupil size was used to evaluate the students' comprehension of a comic book related to immunology in the VR environment. 98 The authors reported no significant correlation between pupil size and students learning of the comic book in VR. The study alludes that the sensitivity of physiologically obtained metrics also depends on the nature of the task and should be used cautiously, especially when applying across domains.…”

Human performance is critical to ensure safety and health in hazardous chemical settings, wherein the majority of the accidents have been attributed to human error. As a result, both industry and academia have been concerned about the efficacy of knowledge and skill transfer. Virtual reality (VR) technology is gaining attention as a way to improve human performance. In this paper, we review the literature on the applications of VR to chemical safety in laboratories and industries. Our review reveals that VR offers much potential for training lab users and plant operators as well as for bridging the theoretical knowledge–practical skills gap. However, there is a need to develop systematic approaches to measure the effectiveness in achieving the desired training outcomes. Therefore, in this paper, we discuss the best practices for VR-based training. We also stress the need to incorporate physiological sensors into the VR environment.

“…In the educational environment of (Khokhar et al, 2019) the knowledge about inattentive students is provided to a pedagogical agent. Sakamoto et al (2020) tested pupil metrics for their eligibility to gain information about the comprehension of people. They recorded gaze behavior during a learning task in VR and compared this to the subjective comprehension ratings of subjects.…”

Measurements of physiological parameters provide an objective, often non-intrusive, and (at least semi-)automatic evaluation and utilization of user behavior. In addition, specific hardware devices of Virtual Reality (VR) often ship with built-in sensors, i.e. eye-tracking and movements sensors. Hence, the combination of physiological measurements and VR applications seems promising. Several approaches have investigated the applicability and benefits of this combination for various fields of applications. However, the range of possible application fields, coupled with potentially useful and beneficial physiological parameters, types of sensor, target variables and factors, and analysis approaches and techniques is manifold. This article provides a systematic overview and an extensive state-of-the-art review of the usage of physiological measurements in VR. We identified 1,119 works that make use of physiological measurements in VR. Within these, we identified 32 approaches that focus on the classification of characteristics of experience, common in VR applications. The first part of this review categorizes the 1,119 works by field of application, i.e. therapy, training, entertainment, and communication and interaction, as well as by the specific target factors and variables measured by the physiological parameters. An additional category summarizes general VR approaches applicable to all specific fields of application since they target typical VR qualities. In the second part of this review, we analyze the target factors and variables regarding the respective methods used for an automatic analysis and, potentially, classification. For example, we highlight which measurement setups have been proven to be sensitive enough to distinguish different levels of arousal, valence, anxiety, stress, or cognitive workload in the virtual realm. This work may prove useful for all researchers wanting to use physiological data in VR and who want to have a good overview of prior approaches taken, their benefits and potential drawbacks.
