Coming Full Circle: The 360° Experience for Biomedical Engineering Technology Students
Biomedical Engineering Education, v4 n2 p433-436 2024
In an effort to better engage biomedical engineering technology (BMET) students with material covered in lectures and to connect them with their future careers, we created interactive 360° videos in typical BMET workplaces. Students watched the videos using virtual reality (VR) headsets and reflected on the experience. Students commented that the 360° videos made them feel that they were actually in the workplace and provided a better understanding of the devices that were covered in lectures. The use of interactive 360° videos proved to be an effective way for students to explore equipment and situations and has the potential to be more broadly applied in the biomedical engineering field.
