Implicit Learning of Professional Skills through Immersive Virtual Reality: A Media Comparison Study

This 11-minute IEEE conference talk explores how Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) compares to traditional slideshow methods for teaching implicit professional skills in viticulture. Learn about a study conducted by researchers from Arts et Métiers Institute of Technology and CESI that examined forty engineering students learning to assess vine vigor through different educational approaches. Discover how immersion affects not only decision-making accuracy but also intrinsic motivation and knowledge transfer to real-world applications. The presentation, part of the "Perception, Interaction, and Learning in XR" session at IEEE VR 2025, reveals important insights about the effectiveness of virtual reality as a teaching tool for implicit professional knowledge in agricultural contexts.
