Abstract
Virtual reality (VR) technology has been
commercially and economically accessible to industrial designers
for the past seven years, following the introduction of VR glasses
and headsets, e.g., the HTC Vive and the Oculus Rift, in 2016.
However, despite the growing popularity of VR implementations
in education, it remains unclear to what extent industrial design
(ID) students and instructors will adopt this technology. Hence,
this paper discusses the limited adoption of VR technology in ID
education based on the analysis of qualitative data obtained from
ID students and instructors, specifically their perspectives on
integrating VR into the education process. The data set comprises
written and verbal expressions obtained through an online form
and a group discussion session. The findings obtained from the
analysis conducted through the content analysis approach
suggest that both ID students and instructors harbor concerns
regarding the incorporation of VR technology in ID education.
These reservations primarily revolve around the potential
adverse impacts of VR usage on students’ skill development in
terms of manual dexterity and material knowledge, as well as the
effectiveness of its implementation within the context of ID
education.
