虚拟现实(VR)模拟提供了更多的临场感和代理感，从而可以在VR培训期间提高技能。虚拟现实中的积极代理与技能提高之间的直接关系之前还没有被调查过。这项研究通过主动和被动的虚拟现实模拟以及通过测量真实世界的高尔夫泡芙技能，考察了(A)在场和代理之间的关系，以及(B)在场和技能提高之间的关系。参与者(n=23)在使用Oculus Rift VR头盔显示器完成主动(用虚拟高尔夫球杆吹气)和被动(观看高尔夫球比赛)VR模拟之前，完成了基线推杆技能评估。在每一次模拟之后，都会对存在和代理进行测量，然后进行最终的推杆技能评估。主动模拟产生了更高的总体存在感和代理感。然而，没有发现存在与机构或技能提高之间的关系。无论是主动模拟还是被动模拟都没有明显的技能提高，这可能是由于应用的培训时间较短，以及VR模拟中缺乏真实感，抑制了将技能转移到真实环境中。这些发现印证了之前的文献，即积极的虚拟现实可以增加临场感和代理感。这项研究产生了许多关于在场和技能培训之间的关系的富有成效的研究问题。
Virtual reality (VR) simulations provide increased feelings of presence and agency that could allow increased skill improvement during VR training. Direct relationships between active agency in VR and skill improvement have previously not been investigated. This study examined the relationship between (a) presence and agency, and (b) presence and skills improvement, via active and passive VR simulations and through measuring real-world golf-puffing skill. Participants (n = 23) completed baseline putting skill assessment before using an Oculus Rift VR head-mounted display to complete active (puffing with a virtual golf club) and passive (watching a game of golf) VR simulations. Measures of presence and agency were administered after each simulation, followed by a final putting skill assessment. The active simulation induced higher feelings of general presence and agency. However, no relationship was identified between presence and either agency or skill improvement. No skill improvement was evident in either the active or passive simulations, potentially due to the short training period applied, as well as a lack of realism in the VR simulations inhibiting a transfer of skills to a real environment. These findings reinforce previous literature that shows active VR to increase feelings of presence and agency. This study generates a number of fruitful research questions about the relationship between presence and skills training.
