  Metaverse learning environments allow for a seamless and intuitive transition
between activities compared to Virtual Reality (VR) learning environments, due
to their interconnected design. The design of VR scenes is important for
creating effective learning experiences in the Metaverse. However, there is
limited research on the impact of different design elements on user's learning
experiences in VR scenes. To address this, a study was conducted with 16
participants who interacted with two VR scenes, each with varying design
elements such as style, color, texture, object, and background, while watching
a short tutorial. Participant rankings of the scenes for learning were obtained
using a seven-point Likert scale, and the Mann-Whitney U test was used to
validate differences in preference between the scenes. The results showed a
significant difference in preference between the scenes. Further analysis using
the NASA TLX questionnaire was conducted to examine the impact of this
difference on cognitive load, and participant feedback was also considered. The
study emphasizes the importance of careful VR scene design to improve the
user's learning experience.
