We measured actual productivity, perceived productivity and used the NASA Task Load Index (TLX) survey to measure various factors such as mental demand, physical demand, temporal demand, performance, effort, and frustration. We conducted a study with 26 graduate student programmers. This paper explores the human experience of comprehending source code in VR and compares it to source code comprehension in a desktop environment.

However, few studies examine source code comprehension in VR. Recently, software engineering researchers have started to explore virtual reality as a tool for programmers. Virtual reality (VR) is an emerging technology used in various domains such as medicine, psychotherapy, architecture, and gaming.
