I think overall that this is a good article, but not without flaws. One flaw is the use of Internet Archive to serve embedded examples, all of which timed out when I was trying to view them. This I think is a but of a misuse of Internet Archive. Second, the authors write, "Which fields is VR best suited for? Up to that point, it was reasonably common in computer science and psychology, and relatively rare elsewhere." That seems surprising to me. I've seen VR used widely in medical education, machine operations (like, say, helicopters), and military, as well as wide use in computer games. That said, I agree with the authors that "it is difficult to create even moderately rich and sophisticated environments, without the development expertise gleaned through exposure to the computer science curriculum," which suggests a need for the model described in the title.
