I studied titration and redox reactions in high school. Back then we'd use a pipette, into which we would inhale the liquid. Oh, for the days when safety meant nothing! Much safer methods are used today. But achieving precise measurements is still a skill that needs to be practiced to be learned (as we all learned watching Breaking Bad). This article looks at achieving that practice in VR using (heavy and clunky and, for me, too small) Oculus headsets. So did it work? Well, they remembered the names of things (hence showing 'cognitive achievement'). How about the practice? "Errors that arose during laboratory work due to reading data, turning faucets, or being contaminated by chemical materials were minimized."
