The first and possibly most frequent problem with virtual meetings is when users have technical trouble logging into meetings and contributing. While the platforms can be very user-friendly and intuitive, there can be learning curve issues for new participants, along with actual technical roadblocks,...
Immersive virtual reality(IVR) pushes the limit of mediated experiences and digital representation by blocking out the physical world, and placing users directly into vivid and personal scenarios. This chapter provides an overview of IVR technology, and the way it relates to cognitive development, par...
studies performed evaluation of the proposed VR system including both subjective and objective measurements to provide evidence on its efficiency and its actual impact on stress levels. Finally, validation methodologies attempt to point out the potential of VR technology in the direction of providing an...
The work-related applications that appear to be most promising are those that employ virtual reality for visualization and representation, distance communication and education, hands-on training, and orientation and navigation. This article presents an overview to the concepts of VR focusing on its ...
flat screen interactions. Conceptually, VR provides the following affordances: (1) VR is a first-person concrete representation of STEM discipline phenomena and ideas that can align to authentic content and practices within STEM disciplines. When combined with specific pedagogies VR helps students to ...
To interact in an immersive way within the NVEs, users usually employ an avatar,Footnote1which is a virtual representation of themselves inside the VE, controlled by one or more input devices (e.g., a mouse, keyboard, joystick, gamepad or haptic) connected to their computers [8,18]. Furt...
To release the cube, participants needed to open the aperture of their thumb and fingers or brought the thumb and fingers closer together. Fig. 1 Representation of the BBT-VR-C, BBT-VR-HT and BBT-MR. This 4-panel figure simultaneously represents the virtual and mixed reality environment ...
The visual representation of the coded and real variables for CCD and BDD is shown in Figure 1. Figure 1. Coded and actual values of the ICP torch position on the x-, y-, and z-axes used for BBD (a) and CCD optimisation (b). The blue values indicate the values for the star ...
Anavataris a digital self-representation of a user in a virtual world. Its features can be broken down into two categories: form realism, which refers to the avatar’s recognizable form (e.g., the human body), and photographic realism, which refers to the degree of detail rendered upon ...
