Both groups experienced two conditions: the experimental condition, where participants had access to visualization tools such as visual cones and highlighting capabilities, and thecontrolled condition, where these tools were not available. The participants’ situational awareness were assessed using both the Situation Awareness Rating Technique questionnaire and the Situational Awareness Linked Indicators Adapted to Novel Tasks framework.ResultsThe Situational Awareness Linked Indicators Adapted to Novel Tasks scores were higher for the experimental session for Group 2, while being lower for Group 1. However, the Situation Awareness Rating Technique scores were generally lowerin the experimental condition for both groups.ConclusionThese results demonstrate the potential virtual reality has as a platform for collaborative learning and highlight the need for further research into the design of effective visualization tools and the measurement of situational awareness in virtual reality. Furthermore, this research opens up new possibilities into the design of virtual reality environments for collaborative learning and the potential of virtual reality as a tool for enhancing collaborative learning.
