Engagement vs. Understanding: Comparing Immersive Virtual Reality and Desktop Displays for Climate Data Visualization
Authors: Arunkumar, A., Liu, J., Bryan, C.
- VR vs. Desktop: same forgetting, desktops better for cognitive learning, VR better for affective learning for short term - but fades within 2 weeks
- desktop systematic, VR fragmented — scaffold structural explorations; reinforce learned aspect
