Virtual learning with Matterport: A novel approach to teaching psychomotor skills in nursing

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Introduction Matterport TM software was used to create panoramic views of nursing laboratories, integrating resources to support learning psychomotor skills. This study evaluated the usability, satisfaction and engagement among pre-registration nursing students using this virtual reality platform. Methods Pre-registration nursing students completed a usability and satisfaction survey and open-ended questions. The number of engagements with the interface were captured. Results Results indicated high usability, satisfaction and levels of engagement. Conclusion Matterport TM is a useful adjunct for psychomotor skill preparation but should not replace face to face learning activities. Future research should explore if application of psychomotor skills improves using Matterport.
