This study used immersive visualization technology for the delivery of material in geospatial science courses that focused on airborne light detection and ranging (lidar) and subsequent digital elevation model (DEM) development. Numerous immersive visualization solutions are now available and are becoming accessible for use in the classroom. As such, it is important to understand how and to what extent these technologies can improve tire learning experience and enable greater retention by the student. The immersive visualization systems evaluated for this study included an Augmented Reality Sandtable (ARES) and the Geospatial Virtually Immersive Evaluation Workstation (GeoVIEW 3D) at the United States Military Academy's (West Point) Geospatial Science Laboratory. Experimental lessons that combined traditional lecture techniques with advanced visualization technology were compared with a control lesson comprised solely of a traditional lecture. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact immersive technology systems have on students' grasp of geospatial data acquisition concepts. The results of this study protide evidence that the use of immersive visualization technology in the classroom improves short-term knowledge retention of the assessed concepts. In addition, visualization technology that requires personal equipment (PE) such as glasses or headsets has a greater potential to result in a negative experience for a portion of the student population. As instructors become more familiar with immersive visualization and the required technology becomes more accessible, instructors should consider the implications of using advanced visualization in the classroom and ensure it facilitates greater engagement and understanding among die smdents.
