Current Work Status

17 Apr 2019

The team of school pedagogy currently focusses on didactical needs analyses. By means of literature reviews and interviews, we research aspects and methods which contribute to preservice teachers’ pedagogically sound and effective working with the ViLeArn application in their teacher education program. We also consider the teacher educators’ perspective to ensure that teacher educators are able to apply virtual reality in general and the ViLeArn application in particular successfully in their teaching.

After a successful publication at the 2019 8th Virtual Reality Conference, the HCI team is currently working on a comprehensive analysis of the technical requirements and the conception and development of a second prototype. This will provide an extended representation of the avatars/ agents and a rudimentary intelligence for computer-controlled agents, and first presentation media.
