Abstract

The development of Virtual Reality (VR) technology opens up new opportunities to improve the quality of online learning through more interactive and immersive learning experiences. This study aims to design the user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) of VR-based online classes using the Design Thinking method to meet students' needs in a virtual learning environment. The Design Thinking method, which includes the stages of empathy, definition, ideation, prototype, and testing, is applied to produce a user-friendly interface design that supports student engagement and social interaction during the learning process. The results of the study show that the VR-based interface is able to increase student engagement through more active interactions, intuitive navigation, and collaboration features that approach interactions in a physical classroom. Testing of the prototype shows that this design can meet students' needs in increasing engagement and learning comfort. It is hoped that this study can be a reference in the development of an effective and efficient VR-based online learning platform.
