Mohd Ekram Al Hafis Hashim

Abstract

This study intends to explore the potential of integrating of two major theories that stemmed from two entirely different disciplines, namely the human-computer interaction and the arts. Indeed, there are vast gaps when two different theories, such as technology and art, are to be unified to develop a new element that complements to both disciplines. Empirically, virtual reality as immersive technological innovations are progressively developed and evaluated among various disciplines. Virtual reality technically is customarily to immersive experience as a measurement tool while virtual three-dimensional animated environment in virtual reality is an aesthetic object that requires an aesthetic-friendly method as its measurement tool. The proposition of evaluation is to measure the user immersive experience and aesthetic experience when dealing with an art object that imbues with digital technology.

Exploring the adoption of the metaverse system among elementary students

Haslinda Hashim

Abstract

The metaverse is an envisioned realm offering immersive digital spaces, bolstering highly interactive environments within educational contexts. This digital dimension amplifies synchronous communication, uniting a vast number of users as they share their unique experiences. This research aims to scrutinize the perceptions of elementary students towards the metaverse system (MS). Our proposed model underwent validation through the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) technique. Data, sourced from 287 students of Dubai National School, revealed that the primary predictor of students' intent to engage with the MS is personal innovativeness. This is followed closely by perceived usefulness and then perceived ease of use. The findings of this research provide deeper insights into the driving factors behind the adoption of MS among young learners. © 2024, Semarak Ilmu Publishing. All rights reserved...
