For my master thesis I am trying to make PCA more understandable by explaining it with the means of virtual or mixed reality. In order to do this, I want to find out what goes wrong when people try to get a grasp of PCA. For example if students have trouble imagining things in 3D or beyond 3D. Maybe the math is too challenging for math novices, such as for communication students.
So my questions are:
- How do you teach and try to get people to understand PCA, what do you explain first, what path do you follow?
- What difficulties arise during teaching it
- Do you use visual help to make it more understandable and if so, which?
- Have you already used virtual or mixed reality to make PCA more understandable?
Thanks a lot in advance for your help,

Dear Gilles Van den Ede,
Without the basic knowledge about linear algebra it is difficult to get a concept of PCA. So, I think at first I should give a basic introduction of the linear algebra and the linear transformation to the student. Furthermore, there are several website that describes the fundamentals of PCA by graphical representation. You can check them as well.

There are soma applications using VR or AR for cultural heritage teaching as well other issues of Mechanics, Physics and Geology. That workflow can give some ideas to you.

Paulo Ricardo Batista Mesquita, thanks for the answer, could you point me in the right direction to what you are referring to perhaps?
Thanks in advance!
