Abstract:

The medical sciences have a significant impact on our lives. It also helps diagnose and treat diseases, ailments, and conditions. Studies showed that most of the students used a traditional method during the learning process. Virtual reality is one of the immersive technologies that positively influences the learning process by reducing cognitive load. The learning process also improved when there is a combination of multimedia elements such as visual and audio, as stated in Mayer’s 12 Principles of Multimedia. Thus, this study described the design and development of a VR anatomy medical gallery by applying cognitive load theory and identifying the acceptance of technology in virtual reality for medical sciences. The fusion of the ADDIE (Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate) model and 12 Mayer's Principle of Multimedia resulted in improved learning strategies and a research framework for VR-based technologies in Medical Sciences teaching. The VMedTAAM is used to identify the acceptance of the technology in medical, adapted from the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The result will guide the developers to enhance the creation of immersive technology design in this area.
