The students were asked of their impression of the new technology, and the overriding concern was for the use of regular video and face-to-face teaching. This was evident is some of the students’ statements.

Direct Quotes:

“It was difficult to watch and study VR over and over again, so it was easier to review if I could watch regular videos together. It was good that there was a sense of realism.”

“I thought that we cannot ask the instructor to ask what we did not understand straight away.”

“I thought a demonstration would be better, because I could ask any questions I had at the time on the spot.”

“I appreciate the ability to replay videos when I want to review, but on a computer monitor, regular videos are easier to watch.”

“Compared to watching videos on a PC, the sense of presence is superior, but considering the hassle of wearing the device, eye strain and headaches after watching, daily use or use for more than 20 ~ 30 minutes is not feasible.”
