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
