Summary

This study tests whether immersive 360-degree virtual reality videos help medical students navigate unfamiliar hospital areas better than standard 2D videos. About 44 first- and second-year medical students will be timed and tracked as they find a new location after receiving either VR or regular video instructions. The goal is to see if VR reduces anxiety and helps students get lost less often.
