Description

A standardized IVR classroom environment with 30 virtual student agents arranged in five rows and three columns, programmed to display on-task and off-task behaviors. Participants taught through an HTC Vive Pro Eye headset that records eye movements at 120Hz and tracks participant location each second. The article states IVR allows researchers to "track their movement and eye movement unobtrusively and accurately" while maintaining "a balance between realism and standardization of the classroom environment."

Design Implications

Context

  • Requires IVR hardware capable of concurrent body and eye movement tracking

Constraints

  • Environmental influences are controlled by standardization, limiting generalizability to real-life classrooms

Target Learners

  • Preservice teachers

Learning Goals

  • Teacher visual attention to classroom events
