Just as students do not spend entire classes with microscopes or telescopes attached to their face, they also need not to spend entire classes wearing VR headsets. They believe that the future of VR in the classroom is to provide enriched experiences that are integrated within the larger course structure, rather than supplant traditional education. The team's perspective on VR education is that VR is a lens, analogous to a microscope or telescope, through which students experience content that would otherwise be difficult to see. See the team's Illustration of the Visual Pathway Demo in the Virtual Brain Project video: Credit: New York University The 3D narrated videos are already in active use at classes that include neuro-anatomy instruction both at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and at NYUAD. But, importantly, VR is not a substitute for real-world interactions with peers and instructors."
The power of VR is its ability to transport learners to new environments they might not otherwise be able to explore. "However, our findings indicate that learners can have similar access to learning about functional neuroanatomy through multiple platforms, which means that those who don't have access to VR technology are not at an inherent disadvantage. "Students are enthusiastic about learning in VR," said Rokers.

However, VR far exceeded PC viewing for achieving experience-based learning outcomes-VR was, in other words, more enjoyable and easier to use. In their experiments, the researchers found that participants showed significant content-based learning for both devices, with no significant differences between PC and VR devices for content-based learning outcomes. Led by Associate Professor and Director of NYUAD's Neuroimaging Center Bas Rokers and Assistant Professor of Psychology and a Principal Investigator in the Virtual Environments Group at the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery at University of Wisconsin-Madison Karen Schloss, the researchers have published the findings of their work in a new paper, "UW Virtual Brain Project: An immersive approach to teaching functional neuroanatomy" in the journal Translational Issues in Psychological Science from the American Psychological Association (APA).
