Assessing Usability in Immersive Javanese Script Learning: A System Usability Scale (SUS) Evaluation of Virtual Reality Applications

This study assesses the usability of a Virtual Reality (VR) application designed for Javanese Script learning, an intricate and historically significant writing system. Employing the System Usability Scale (SUS), we evaluated the application’s effectiveness in terms of user experience, ease of use, and satisfaction among 43 participants. The application achieved a SUS score of 77.27, reflecting a favorable user reception, though it also highlighted areas for improvement, particularly in instructional clarity and 3D visualization. These findings underscore the potential of VR as an educational tool, offering valuable insights for refining usability in similar applications. The study further discusses the implications of these results for the future development of VR-based educational tools, particularly in culturally significant and complex subject areas.
