About
Andrea Vogt is a leading researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction, educational technology, and robotics, with a primary focus on how people learn and interact within immersive virtual reality (VR) environments. Her work critically examines the conditions that make VR an effective learning tool, moving beyond the simple novelty of the medium. Vogt’s major contribution lies in identifying the specific instructional strategies—such as elaboration prompts and the optimal sequencing of auditory and visual information—that are necessary to transform passive VR experiences into deep, meaningful learning. Her highly cited 2021 study (46 citations) demonstrated that prompting learners to elaborate on content within VR significantly improves their ability to build coherent mental models. Beyond education, Vogt applies VR as a powerful evaluation tool for human-robot interaction, as seen in her 2022 work (37 citations) which used immersive environments to assess how domestic service robots should negotiate conflicts with humans. With over 100 total citations, Vogt’s research provides essential, evidence-based guidelines for designing both effective virtual learning environments and socially intelligent robots.
