Final progress report!

(at last …)

What have I done? Everything

Finished experiments Put questionnaire responses into

spreadsheet Analyzed route taken, % time map was

displayed, rooms visited, wayfinding score

Marked mythology tests Analyzed sketch maps Analyzed results Wrote up entire thesis

What do I have left to do? Changes to thesis that Edwin

suggests Submit!

When am I going to submit?

21 or 22 February – two weeks from now

What were my results? The lecture group learned the

mythology relationships better than the VR groups

VR wasn’t more interesting or fun than the lecture

In fact, in some cases VR was more scary and distressing than the lecture

More results Sketch maps were really bad

But this didn’t correlate to learning

More results HMD made people get sick Desktop worked just as well as HMD

Not having a map while using the

HMD was scary and distressing But having a map didn’t help

learning or wayfinding

Final results Women were better at wayfinding Better wayfinding meant worse

learning Presence didn’t relate to anything

important More presence = more enjoyment More experience = more presence
