Exploring the effect of visual immersion during procedural knowledge elicitation within virtual reality

(2020) Exploring the effect of visual immersion during procedural knowledge elicitation within virtual reality. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

Accurately recalling and describing information is challenging. This research focusses on a new approach, which aims to help people impart knowledge of past activities and events, by role-playing their memory of a prior experience within a related virtual environment. By providing virtual stimuli and context relevant to the original experience, people were able to better recall and describe information. Further consideration of the visual presentation was explored. The result was that while a more immersive experience provided by a virtual reality headset can help people better recall information, the visual detail of the environment may not be so important.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
