Table 2 VR system evaluation. Means (Mn), standard deviations (SD), frequencies and percentages from participant evaluations of the VR system features comparing N = 64 Virtual Reality System Owners to N = 310 Non-Owners. Features were evaluated using a 5-point Likert Response Set: (1 = Strongly Disagree, 2 = Disagree, 3 = Disagree/Agree Equally (D/A =), 4 = Agree, 5 = Strongly Agree)

From: Learner evaluation of an immersive virtual reality mass casualty incident simulator for triage training
