Background Virtual reality (VR) is increasingly used as simulation technology in emergency medicine education and training, in particular for training nontechnical skills. Experimental studies comparing teaching and learning in VR with traditional training media often demonstrate the equivalence or even superiority regarding particular variables of learning or training effectiveness. Objective In the EPICSAVE (Enhanced Paramedic Vocational Training with Serious Games and Virtual Environments) project, a highly immersive room-scaled multi-user 3-dimensional VR simulation environment was developed. In this feasibility study, we wanted to gain initial insights into the training effectiveness and media use factors influencing learning and training in VR. Methods The virtual emergency scenario was anaphylaxis grade III with shock, swelling of the upper and lower respiratory tract, as well as skin symptoms in a 5-year-old girl (virtual patient) visiting an indoor family amusement park with her grandfather (virtual agent). A cross-sectional, one-group pretest and posttest design was used to evaluate the training effectiveness and quality of the training execution. The sample included 18 active emergency physicians. Results The 18 participants rated the VR simulation training positive in terms of training effectiveness and quality of the training execution. A strong, significant correlation (r=.53, P=.01) between experiencing presence and assessing training effectiveness was observed. Perceived limitations in usability and a relatively high extraneous cognitive load reduced this positive effect. Conclusions The training within the virtual simulation environment was rated as an effective educational approach. Specific media use factors appear to modulate training effectiveness (ie, improvement through “experience of presence” or reduction through perceived limitations in usability). These factors should be specific targets in the further development of this VR simulation training.

With the continuous development of society and the rapid development of science and technology, virtual reality technology is also developing rapidly. It has been widely used in all walks of life and is playing an irreplaceable role. Modern education has also begun to integrate with science. Sports are also constantly deepening the application of information technology. In order to make students have a new understanding of college physical education and sports training and improve the technical level and training quality of college sports athletes, this paper studies the application of virtual reality technology in physical education and sports training. In this paper, the semisupervised framework is used to implement motion input and interactive virtual scene algorithms. First, based on Q statistics, virtual simulation and differential selection algorithms are used to select athletic students with strong autonomous learning ability and then use the classifier’s neighbor confidence. The formula selects the student with the highest learning level and marks it. Experimental results show that this method can effectively assist physical education activities and improve students’ learning efficiency. Students’ efficiency in sports has increased by 30%. At the same time, 2/3 of people believe that their interest in sports training has increased 80% and another 90% of college coaches believe that the use of virtual reality technology in physical education is very necessary, which can improve the technical level and training quality of college sports athletes and contribute to the reserve of Chinese competitive sports talents.
