The Experiment Design to Investigate the Effect of Selective Visual Attention Implementation on User Experience in Virtual Reality Anatomy Learning

Anatomy learning in medical education has been considered a fundamental foundation. The use of cadavers in anatomy studies has been considered the gold standard. However, due to several factors, the use of cadavers in modern medical education was considered irrelevant. As a result, anatomy learning began to involve the use of technology. One of them is using a virtual reality system. Anatomy learning using the virtual reality system relies on the visual field in presenting the information. Many of the bones make up the structure of the human skeleton that we use as our dataset, which raises the problem of visual attention in presenting content in virtual reality systems. For that, we propose a selective visual attention method (a feature that can isolate objects) to improve the user experience. In this study, we develop an experimental design to investigate the effect of our proposed methods on user experience. The developed design offers credible investigative results. To ensure the accuracy of data collection and the accuracy of data analysis from the developed experimental design, we use methods that suit the research needs. The results of this study are in the form of a planned experimental design that can increase readers' confidence in the results of investigations related to user experience. © 2021 IEEE.
