“…There is general agreement that IVR influences affective factors such as situational interest [121], level of enjoyment [10,12,16,18,119], and embodiment [1,25,36] positively. There is disagreement that IVR affects learning performance and motivation in the same way [13,25,52,132].…”

“…There is still an obvious theoretical agreement that IVR improves situational interest [121], level of enjoyment [10,12,16,18,119], and embodiment [1,25,36]. Although Elgewely et al [25] and Joshi et al [52] showed that it positively affects both learning performance and motivation, Beh et al [13] and Yang and Goh [132] showed that IVR positively influences motivation but does not improve learning.…”

Immersive virtual reality (IVR) is considered as an effective and efficient instructional tool for architecture, engineering, construction, operation, and facility management (AECO/FM) education. However, it is essential to systematically evaluate them to obtain consolidated evidence on the impact of IVR applications. Thus, the aim of this article is to present the state‐of‐the‐art on all AECO/FM use cases, including learning theories/models, all key factors, and experimental design, and to suggest future directions for IVR research. This review follows a systematic literature review methodology to analyze 79 papers between 2013 and 2022. The results show that learning theories/models are not sufficiently applied. There is consensus that IVR influences affective factors positively. It is necessary to consider task type, task complexity, virtual environment design, and ergonomics of IVR tools in terms of cognitive factors. Cognitive/affective factors associated with learning performance should be examined in depth to develop more effective learning methods. Future studies should design and conduct experimental procedures with more scientific rigor.

“…By experiencing the life-size spaces in immersive virtual reality, students reported having perceived the same sensations with a very high coincidence, up to 72,29%, e.g., the sensations experienced by the participants coincide by 72.29% with those indicated by the designers (considering the ideal case that the designers agree 100% on the two predominant sensations per space). This is due to the sense of presence (subjective feeling of being present elsewhere) that is determined in virtual environments by immersion and realism, which has been an important concept in understanding and evaluating the effectiveness of virtual environments primarily in the context of human experience [64,65] and the perception of architectural spaces. Although the ideal measurement of sensations is the combination of objective tests through biosensors and subjective tests through questionnaires or sur-veys [59], in this study we have only used the last ones to complement them with sensors in future research.…”

Spatial Skills and Perceptions of Space: Representing 2D Drawings as 3D Drawings inside Immersive Virtual Reality

Rapid freehand drawings are of great importance in the early years of university studies of architecture, because both the physical characteristics of spaces and their sensory characteristics can be communicated through them. In order to draw architectural spaces, it is necessary to have the ability to visualize and manipulate them mentally, which leads us to the concept of spatial skills; but it also requires a development of spatial perception to express them in the drawings. The purpose of this research is to analyze the improvement of spatial skills through the full-scale sketching of architectural spaces in virtual immersive environments and to analyze spatial perception in reference to the capture of spatial sensations in virtual immersive environments. Spatial skills training was created based on the freehand drawing of architectural spaces using Head Mounted Displays (HMD) and registered the spatial sensations experienced also using HMD, but only in previously modeled realistic spaces. It was found that the training significantly improved orientation, rotation and visualization, and that the sensory journey and experimentation of architectural spaces realistically modeled in immersive virtual reality environments allows for the same sensations that the designer initially sought to convey.

“…On the other hand, the fundamental concept for understanding and evaluating the effectiveness of virtual environments primarily in the context of human experience (Ghani et al, 2020, Alatta & Freewan, 2017 is the sense of presence (Hermund et al, 2017) -subjective sensation of feeling present in another place-which is determined by immersion and realism. Students have reported that, in the case of perception of architectural spaces, unlike other three-dimensional objects, the immersion and realism is mainly contributed by "accessibility" (possibility to enter and exit the space at will), "real scale" (natural size of the space) and the "possibility to see in all directions".…”

Perceived Sensations in Architectural Spaces through Immersive Virtual Reality

et al. 2021

To design architectural spaces that not only respond to the basic needs of users, but also seek their emotional well-being, it is necessary for the architecture students to have a special sensitivity and be aware of the different sensations that their designs should and can evoke. To achieve this competence without exploring real spaces, Immersive Virtual Reality technology offers an important contribution to the field of architecture. The purpose of this research is to determine if the sensations perceived in virtual architectural spaces by students are similar to the real ones and to determine the characteristics of this technology that allow a better perception of sensations. Six architectural modules were designed to be walked through and experienced at real scale using a Head Mounted Display by 22 students of the first and fifth year of studies of Architecture career in Peru. An ad-hoc questionnaire allowed to know the perceived sensations and the benefits of the tool. The results obtained showed that the perception of sensations of the fifth year students is a little closer to those expressed by a group of seven experts compared to that of the first year students and that the students consider the characteristics of accessibility, real scale of the space and the possibility of going through and looking at the space in all directions are those that have given more realism to the experience and therefore better perception of the space, while the characteristics of natural light and shadows, construction materials and external environment have been less valued in the realism of the experience. It is concluded that the sensory experimentation in architectural spaces modelled realistically in virtual environments allows the perception of sensations very similar to those that the architect seeks to convey initially.
