As VR applications proliferate across diverse domains such as education,training, and entertainment, the selection of appropriate haptic gloves becomes imperative foroptimizing user experience and achieving desired outcomes [3].In response to the burgeoning interest in haptic technology, this paper presents a comparativeanalysis of three prominent haptic gloves: Manus Prime 3, SenseGlove Nova, and bHapticsTactGlove. This study aims to evaluate the performance and suitability of these gloves in real-world applications simulated in custom-constructed virtual environment.

Yet, higher education graduates may still lack decisionmaking and project application skills, and most importantly, the ability to apply the body ofknowledge from their academic training in college courses to solve real-world problems andmeet the skill challenges of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR).To bridge the gap between theory and application of these relevant technologies for industry-ready graduates, hands-on exercises are developed and will be incorporated in a 300-levelphotogrammetry course for SET and Civil Engineering majors

engineering education has been particularly effective in helpingstudents develop a deeper understanding of complex concepts and real-world applications [1],[11], [12]. For example, in electrical engineering, students can learn how to design andanalyze electronic circuits and gain practical experience working with complex systems andprocesses using virtual labs that mimic oscilloscopes, multimeters, circuits, and errors [13]–[16]. Virtual labs may simulate real-world scenarios in mechanical engineering and allowstudents to design and test mechanical systems, such as engines and machines [17]–[20]. Thisapproach provides opportunities for students to gain hands-on experience with the design anddevelopment of real-world products without the limitations

This is further reflected in the theme, laboratory technique development andlearning activity where the FACS VR lab is reported to have had hard to grasp conceptsresulting in an inability to replicate due to existing confusions. It is therefore recommendedthat relevance of course concept for course performance and real-world applicability ishighlighted and interwoven into VR lab environments.ConclusionThis study gives insights into the potential role of context and subject matter difficulty inshaping learners’ perceptions of VR

However, our survey results suggest that respondents likelydid not connect these in-lab constraints to broader engineering considerations such as social oreconomic factors. In theory, DBT-type labs can emphasize these broader factors, for instance bycentering real-world social issues as the core context of the laboratory. Similar work has beendone to integrate social content into other technical engineering courses such as thermodynamics[11] or control systems [12].

VR environment thatparticipants of this study are going to experience will require minimum motion (hand-onlyoperation) in a fixed position on the newest VR head-mounted display (Oculus Quest 2), whichhas been found to provide significantly less chance of cybersickness [26]. Due to these reasons,each VR submodule is designed to be less than 15 minutes, with most interactive activitiesdesigned to be completed by hand motion only. This way, the VR modules are deemed to poseminimum risk to participants.Traditionally, hammer fabrication was done over three weeks; each week was devoted to eachhammer part. Actual machining was done right after safety training of manufacturing equipmentand a verbal explanation of the procedure. The VR application
