What is it about?
We developed a virtual environment for learning about different hardware components of a computer that can be used with Virtual Reality headsets. As a player, you shrink yourself and go inside a computer where you have to help Bill, the mechanic, to repair the computer. We tested the environment and present the results in this paper.

Why is it important?
Learning about the hardware components of digital media can help us understand how the digital world around us is shaped. Immersive Learning with Virtual Reality in Computer Science Education can help fostering understanding.
Perspectives
I love to look back at this study because the kids had a super high motivation in Virtual Reality settings. They were like "Ohhhhh the computer is so huge!" and you could see their engagement in the tasks. Definitely a thing that we would not have observed without the immersive technologies in the classroom.
