The Combination of Serious Gaming and Immersive Virtual Reality through the Constructivist Approach: An Application to Teaching Architecture

Immersive virtual reality (IVR) has proven to be a technology that can benefit the dissemination of cultural content. In 2019 was five hundredth anniversary death Leonardo Da Vinci. Given few works develop IVR technologies explain genius master, we decided take advantage opportunity learn about master through use new technologies. To build an application aims spread knowledge, it is necessary define educational paradigm and type application. domain need convey complex/novel topics, developed in this study based on constructivist framework creates serious game (SG). order Vinci’s thinking design approach, focus urban planning architecture studies by explaining projects envisioned da This paper investigates whether IVR-SG maintains fundamental characteristics underlying disclosure processes, such as immersivity sense presence. Two secondary school classes experienced evaluating psychometric questionnaire. The results show presence were evaluated positively.
