Abstract
The objectives of this research are 1) to synthesize the conceptual framework of the improvement of space planning skills using immersive virtual reality; and 2) to study the learning outcome of the improvement of space planning skills using immersive virtual reality. The tools used in this research are 1) the immersive virtual reality for dynamic real time visualizations in the condominium environment; and 2) the space planning skills evaluation forms with Scoring Rubrics. The experimental group of this research is the Architecture and Interior Design students, with 10 students as the sample group. the conceptual framework for improvement of space planning skills using immersive virtual reality for the learning process consists of 1) survey and evaluation of the interior; 2) furniture examination; 3) furniture arrangement; and 4) creating perspective for presentation. The finding of this research is that the students’ space planning skills after using the immersive virtual reality for dynamic real time visualizations is at the very good level (74.28%) with 6 students. The students could improve their space planning skills with a well-balanced distance between each furniture, and could arrange the furniture corresponding to the room’s size. The improvement of space planning skills using immersive virtual reality can reduce the problem about understanding the environment, and can reduce the physical limit when the simulation of real space is not available. The research also found that the use of virtual reality is an appropriate method to help the first-years students to get the foundation idea of space planning.
