“…The importance of student engagement has been recognised previously (e.g. Kuh 2009;Strydom, Mentz and Kuh 2010;Wolf-Wendel, Ward and Kinzie 2009). Participants also rated the VR environment higher for learning, demonstrating that they felt that they had learnt better from the VR.…”

Recent advances in virtual reality (VR) technology allow for potential learning and education applications. For this study, 99 participants were assigned to one of three learning conditions: traditional (textbook style), VR and video (a passive control). The learning materials used the same text and 3D model for all conditions. Each participant was given a knowledge test before and after learning. Participants in the traditional and VR conditions had improved overall performance (i.e. learning, including knowledge acquisition and understanding) compared to those in the video condition. Participants in the VR condition also showed better performance for 'remembering' than those in the traditional and the video conditions. Emotion self-ratings before and after the learning phase showed an increase in positive emotions and a decrease in negative emotions for the VR condition. Conversely there was a decrease in positive emotions in both the traditional and video conditions. The Web-based learning tools evaluation scale also found that participants in the VR condition reported higher engagement than those in the other conditions. Overall, VR displayed an improved learning experience when compared to traditional and video learning methods.

“…This questionnaire was used as a tool for measuring the player’s absorption/immersion while playing games. Researchers commonly consider immersion to be an important part of the videogame user experience [ 34 - 37 ]. The Polish adaptation consists of 27 test items instead of 31 questions of the original questionnaire, because 4 questions in the original questionnaire had a low correlation with the overall test score and are unnecessary [ 38 ].…”

Background Many young adults do not reach the World Health Organization’s minimum recommendations for the amount of weekly physical activity. The virtual reality 3D head-mounted display (VR 3D HMD) exergame is a technology that is more immersive than a typical exercise session. Our study considers gender differences in the experience of using VR games for increasing physical activity. Objective The aim of this study was to examine the differences in the effects of VR 3D HMD gaming in terms of immersion, simulator sickness, heart rate, breathing rate, and energy expenditure during two 30-minute sessions of playing an exergame of increasing intensity on males and females. Methods To examine the effects of the VR 3D HMD exergame, we experimented with 45 participants (23 males and 22 females) exercising with VR 3D HMD Oculus Quest 1, hand controllers, and Zephyr BioHarness 3.0. Players exercised according to the Audio Trip exergame. We evaluated the immersion levels and monitored the average heart rate, maximum heart rate, average breathing rate, maximum breathing rate, and energy expenditure in addition to simulator sickness during two 30-minute exergame sessions of increasing intensity. Results Audio Trip was well-tolerated, as there were no dropouts due to simulator sickness. Significant differences between genders were observed in the simulator sickness questionnaire for nausea (F2,86=0.80; P=.046), oculomotor disorders (F2,86=2.37; P=.010), disorientation (F2,86=0.92; P=.040), and total of all these symptoms (F2,86=3.33; P=.04). The measurements after the first 30-minute VR 3D HMD exergame session for all the participants showed no significant change compared to the measurements before the first 30-minute exergame session according to the total score. There were no gender differences in the immersion (F1,43=0.02; P=.90), but the measurements after the second 30-minute exergame session showed an increase in the average points for immersion in women and men. The increase in the level of immersion in the female group was higher than that in the male group. A significant difference between genders was observed in the average breathing rate (F2,86=1.44; P=.04), maximum breathing rate (F2,86=1.15; P=.047), and energy expenditure (F2,86=10.51; P=.001) measurements. No gender differences were observed in the average heart rate and maximum heart rate measurements in the two 30-minute sessions. Conclusions Our 30-minute VR 3D HMD exergame session does not cause simulator sickness and is a very immersive type of exercise for men and women users. This exergame allows reaching the minimum recommendations for the amount of weekly physical activity for adults. The second exergame session resulted in simulator sickness in both groups, more noticeably in women, as reflected in the responses in the simulator sickness questionnaire. The gender differences observed in the breathing rates and energy expenditure measurements can be helpful when programming VR exergame intensity in future research.

“…Time distortion reflects the degree to which the participant lost track of time or being unconscious of the time passing when they are absorbed by an activity. 25 The prospective paradigm to estimate time distortion was used in this study, wherein prior to task, participants were aware that they will be asked to estimate the time spent while suturing at the end of the experiment. To calculate time distortion, each participant was asked to estimate time they spend suturing after finish of trail.…”

Bend the Tool, Not the Wrist: An Ergonomic Investigation of Medical Suturing Needle Holder Design and Medical Engineering Solution

The study aimed to assess a new needle holder grip and head design on medical suturing quality and experience. Generally, suturing remained fundamentally unchanged since its invention, possessing high variability, discomfort, and can be moderately predictable. In this study, 2 grip designs (traditional holder grip and a new slightly curved crescent-shaped grip) and 2 head types (smooth vs knurled) were investigated resulting in 4 groups. Thirty-two medical interns were recruited to participate in this study. Their performances were assessed across time, symmetry, wrist posture, discomfort, and perceived difficulty. Findings revealed that the new grip led to a lesser time, better wrist posture, less discomfort, and difficulty than the traditional grip. More, the new grip with smooth head holder led to more symmetrical and shorter knots than knurled and conventional grip one. Findings are of interest for medical personnel, where it is recommended to use a smooth head and new grip needle holder while suturing for better suturing performance, wrist posture, and hand comfort.
