Pilot testing of Tarsier Goggles was ad hoc and opportunistic, but it generated uniform marvel and constructive feedback from a wide range of users. a Adults without formal training in evolutionary biology tended to view the experience as reflective. b Professional biologists tended to focus on the anatomical and physiological parameters informing the VR simulation of tarsier vision. c Many middle school students valued the gaming aspects of Tarsier Goggles; i.e., overcoming visual ‘impairments’ to explore some learning environments. d Younger children had difficulty mastering the hand controls, and they sometimes attempted to reach for objects in the virtual environment
