Virtual Reality as a Tool for Improving Study Performance

(Master's Thesis on Cognitive Science)



Project Goal:

  • Goal: To investigate whether there is an influence of recognition of virtual environments on improving learning performance.

  • Implementation Duration: 4 Months
⭐ Description

For this research, I have developed a minimum viable product, a VR prototype, that consists of multiple Virtual Environments. This prototype includes the necessary features to study both online and offline. However, in terms of research, multiplayer wasn't implemented.

Using this application, students can watch pre-recorded lectures in a virtual classroom simulation.
