Benefits of fieldwork Drawbacks of fieldwork
- Better immersion in the study area  
- Ability to break, touch and smell the rock - Weather dependent

Benefits of VFTs Drawbacks of VFTs

- Multi-scale approach  
- No time limits, possibility of returning to a study area  
-Possibility of changing the viewing angle - Difficulty in observing very fine resolution (minerals,
techtoglyphs, striations, etc.)
- Possibility to access areas unattainable in the field - Possible loss of sense of scale
- Independent of weather and lighting conditions - Possible seasickness after a while in immersive VR
- Recreational (compared to lectures)
