Verification of Effectiveness of Memorizing Directions Using Virtual Reality

In recent years, technology of virtual reality (VR) has been developed, and VR has become very familiar. It is considered that the method of memorizing the content learned in a single training for a longer period of time is excellent. From this viewpoint, VR may be better than videos. In this paper, therefore, we try to clarify the effectiveness of VR in long-term memorization. We conduct an experiment to confirm the effect of VR in terms of long-term memory. The experiment focuses on the memory of directions as a task to memorize "procedures" that can be reproduced in the real world, and shows that there are significant differences in the time required for memorization and the ease of operation.
