The Impact of Using zSpace System as a Virtual Learning Environment in Saudi Arabia: A Case Study

Abstract

The use of virtual reality (VR) has increased in many different areas, especially in the learning process. One of the most important VR tools is zSpace platform, which can be used as a virtual learning environment. This paper aims to increase the awareness of applying VR technology in Saudi Arabia through using zSpace as a virtual learning environment in all Saudi schools rather than using traditional learning methods. As a case study, we chose Al-Hamra School in Jeddah. By analyzing tests and questionnaires with students and teachers, we examined the effect of using zSpace on students’ grades, educational achievement, and learning skills. We have demonstrated that using zSpace instead of traditional learning methods in the learning process had better effect students, which is considered to be a largely positive effect in the learning environment.

“…There are two main ways that stereoscopic displays are packaged and sold -all-in-one computers and laptops. Laptops are in general cheaper and less powerful [7], but give the opportunity to create a mobile laboratory. All-in-ones on the other hand have more powerful hardware and remove the necessity to maintain laptop batteries using charging stations, but give up mobility in exchange.…”
