  We present VR PreM+, an innovative VR system designed to enhance web
exploration beyond traditional computer screens. Unlike static 2D displays, VR
PreM+ leverages 3D environments to create an immersive pre-learning experience.
Using keyword-based information retrieval allows users to manage and connect
various content sources in a dynamic 3D space, improving communication and data
comparison. We conducted preliminary and user studies that demonstrated
efficient information retrieval, increased user engagement, and a greater sense
of presence. These findings yielded three design guidelines for future VR
information systems: display, interaction, and user-centric design. VR PreM+
bridges the gap between traditional web browsing and immersive VR, offering an
interactive and comprehensive approach to information acquisition. It holds
promise for research, education, and beyond.
