“…The educational process can then be personalized, more on this will be specified in the outlook. The attention of the students can be measured as described by Yoshimura et al (2019) where the study shows the development of attention-restoring visual signals for displaying when gaze tracking detects that students' attention is shifting from important objects since in educational virtual reality it is important to solve the problems of students' inattention to the presented content (Yoshimura et al, 2019). Experiments to compare different signals and their parameters to assess the effectiveness and trade-offs, as well as to assess the impact of eye tracking are proposed.…”

The concept of using eye-tracking in virtual reality for education has been researched in various fields over the past years. With this review, we aim to discuss the recent advancements and applications in this area, explain the technological aspects, highlight the advantages of this approach and inspire interest in the field. Eye-tracking has already been used in science for many decades and now has been substantially reinforced by the addition of virtual and augmented reality technologies. The first part of the review is a general overview of eye-tracking concepts, technical parts, and their applications. In the second part, the focus shifted toward the application of eye-tracking in virtual reality. The third part, first the description of the recently emerged concept of eye-tracking in virtual reality is given, followed by the current applications to education and studying, which has not been thoroughly described before. We describe the main findings, technological aspects, and advantages of this approach.

“…Eye tracking has also been used to infer students’ learning and distraction in VR environments. − A machine learning approach was developed to evaluate the distraction levels of students while they explore a simulated virtual energy center in the VR environment . The study uses eye tracking to obtain the students’ trace of attention allocation in the virtual environment.…”

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.

“…This allows the teachers to identify distracted or confused students, which can benefit the transfer of knowledge. Yoshimura et al (2019) developed a strategy to deal with inattentive listeners. They constructed an educational virtual environment in which eyetracking is used to identify distracted students.…”

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.
