Study Arms (1)

Application group with virtual reality

EXPERIMENTAL

Each student will be introduced to the materials to be used for virtual reality and will be informed about the application. After the introduction and information is given, the lens and pupil distances of the virtual reality glasses will be adjusted according to each student and students will be asked to wear them on their heads. Students will then be required to wear gloves. The application will be made one-on-one with each student. The application will be carried out sitting in the laboratory. If the student experiences symptoms such as dizziness and nausea during the application, the application will be terminated. If the student wants to continue the practice after listening, it will be continued. While the students are in the application, the interface will be introduced through the images projected to the computer simultaneously.
