Exploring the Educational Potential of VR: Immersive vs. Non-Immersive VR in Virtual Space Learning
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This study explores the impact of Virtual Reality (VR) in architectural education at Atma Jaya Yogyakarta University, focusing on the differences between immersive and non-immersive VR experiences. Two groups of architecture students participated in the study: one group used VR headsets, while the other engaged with non-immersive virtual environments. Both groups completed a User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ), and their responses were analysed using the Mann-Whitney U test. The study found that students using VR headsets reported significantly higher engagement, satisfaction, and overall positive experience than non-immersive methods. These findings suggest that immersive VR has more potential to enhance student learning experiences in architectural education, providing valuable insights for developing practical digital learning tools and strategies.
