This study explores tertiary students' interaction with a haptic virtual model representing the
specific binding of two biomolecules, a core concept in molecular life science education …

This study explored whether adding a haptic interface (that provides users with
somatosensory information about virtual objects by force and tactile feedback) to a three …

This paper reports on a study which designed and developed a multi-fingered haptic
interface in conjunction with a three-dimensional (3D) virtual model of a section of the cell …

Of the five sensory channels—sight, sound, taste, smell, and touch, it is only our sense of
touch that enables us to modify and manipulate the world around us. This article reports the …

Students often approach biochemistry with a degree of trepidation with many considering it
one of the more difficult subjects. This is, in part, due to the necessity of making visual …

Background Haptic feedback has been shown to be an effective facilitator of the learning of
scientific concepts in a series of studies. However, little is known about the underlying …

Virtual models are increasingly common in the modern science classroom, however little is
known about the relative effectiveness of virtual and concrete models. We developed a …

Virtual learning environments can now be enriched not only with visual and auditory
information, but also with tactile and kinesthetic feedback. However, the way to successfully …

Recent educational research has suggested that immersive multisensory virtual
environments offer learners unique and exciting knowledge‐building opportunities for the …

Human–Computer interaction, including technology-aided instruction, is beginning to focus
on virtual reality (VR) technology due to its ability to support immersive learning, teaching …
