Work-in-Progress–Design and Evaluation of 360 VR Immersive Interactions in Nursing Education

摘要

Immersive technologies for education have been investigated for some time; it is only recently that Virtual Reality has been widely adopted within nursing and healthcare professions. In this work in progress, we present the current status of our immersive 360 video Antepartum 360, which is targeted towards undergraduate nursing students. We discuss the creation process of Antepartum 360 including the design of the lesson structure, design of the user experience and interactions, and the filming and editing the 360 video itself. We then present the initial findings from a user study testing the effectiveness of Antepartum 360. Participant results show high levels of engagement with the 360 video, satisfaction with the effectiveness of the video, and confidence in using the application.
