Cover Story: Virtual reality offers new forms of representation and geovisualization. In the cover photo, Las Tereseitas Beach (Tenerife, Spain) is displayed using a game engine VR environment, in which twenty-five architecture students performed landscape design tasks. The 3D environment perception was analyzed through the Questionnaire on User eXperience in Immersive Virtual Environments. The motivational factor was part of the Intrinsic Motivation Inventory. Results showed a high 3D environment perception during geovisualization in the nine subcategories (sense of presence, engagement, immersion, flow, usability, emotion, judgment, experience consequence, and technology adoption) analyzed. The game engine-based teaching approach carried out has been motivating for students, with values over 5 (1–7 Likert scale) in the five subscales considered. View this paper
