Enhancing Surveying Instruction with Virtual Reality: A Study on Student Performance and Perception
Traditional surveying instruction relies heavily on physical field exercises to develop student competency with proper procedures and required instruments. While conducting frequent real-world field exercises is considered ideal, logistical constraints such as limited class time, inclement weather, and equipment availability can hinder how much comprehensive hands-on training is possible. To address these limitations, head-mounted display (HMD) virtual reality (VR) was integrated into the differential leveling surveying curriculum at the undergraduate level (Figure 1). This study evaluates the effectiveness of VR-based surveying instruction by analyzing student performance and perceptions across two academic years.
