abstract = {This study explores the conceptual and technical foundation for
studying the effects of elastic storytelling in virtual reality (VR)
on learning outcomes in physics education, using the Millikan experiment
as use case. For investigation, a VR-based learning environment
was developed, placing the Millikan experiment within
a virtual museum context. Based on the user’s decisions, the narrative
gradually unfolds deeper content and enables self-directed
exploration in the elastic narrative variant. Only fundamental content
is displayed in the linear narrative variant in which the user has
no decision-making power. A between-subjects study is planned to
compare a linear and an elastic narrative variant of the application.
Planned data collection includes pre- and post-tests on conceptual
understanding, different questionnaires like the NASA-Task Load
Index and the Player Experience Needs of Satisfaction. This poster
presents the design concept, implementation details, and study plan
for future empirical evaluations.},
