This paper investigates intergenerational differences in the reception of virtual reality regarding the subject of coastal areas. Test subjects were shown a 360 degree panoramic video of coastal environments then asked a series of questions regarding their feelings on the video. It was adjudged that younger test subjects had a tendency to focus on moving objects within the scene while older test subjects had a tendency to observe the general seascape. It can be deducted that subjects of a different age range focus on different aspects of the same video. When using virtual reality to improve environmental awareness, age range of the target audience should be considered.
