This study examines the implementation and effectiveness of Virtual Reality (VR) into employee communication training for Texas Department of Transportation employees. The study also explores the impact of iterative, in situ research-based design ...

Advanced product presentation methods can enhance the product evaluation experience both during the design process and online shopping, as static images often fail to convey essential product details. Virtual Reality (VR) technologies hold great ...

This study offers a systematic literature review on the application of Convolutional Neural Networks in Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, Mixed Reality, and Extended Reality technologies. We categorise these applications into three primary ...

Nature confers a host of benefits including recovering from stress, replenishing attentional resources, improving mood, and decreasing negative thinking. Virtual nature, i.e. exposure to natural environments through technological means, has proven ...

Virtual reality (VR) games have become a popular method to preserve and transmit intangible cultural heritage in recent years. However, empirical studies pertaining to motivations behind the continuance intention to play VR games featuring ...

Advances in digital factory technologies are offering great potential to innovate higher education, by enabling innovative learning approaches based on virtual laboratories that increase the involvement of students while delivering realistic ...

Virtual rehabilitation using Virtual Reality (VR) technology is a promising novel approach to rehabilitation. However, postural responses in VR differ significantly from real life. The introduction of an avatar or visual cues in VR could help ...

Although Augmented Reality (AR) has been extensively studied in supporting Immersive Analytics (IA), there are still many challenges in visualising and interacting with big and complex datasets. To deal with these datasets, most AR applications ...

We propose a robust 3D hand tracking system in various hand action environments, including hand-object interaction, which utilizes a single color image and a previous pose prediction as input. We observe that existing methods deterministically ...

Product shape evaluation is an important part of new product development. In the shape design stage, design schemes are often presented through visual images. The presentation of visual images causes evaluators to form different cognitive ...

Veterinary parasitology is study of parasitic diseases, treatment and prevention. It is a major component of animal health courses due to impacts parasites have on production and companion animals. Extant tertiary education in parasitology ...

Using VR in the airplane cabin is appealing, primarily because of the enhanced entertainment value, increased privacy, and improved recreational opportunities provided by higher levels of immersion. However, VR applications in aircrafts contain ...

Mixed reality technologies, such as virtual (VR) and augmented (AR) reality, present promising opportunities to advance education and professional training due to their adaptability to diverse contexts. Distortions in the perceived distance in ...

While VR adaptations of the mnemonic Method of Loci (or the ‘Memory Palace’ technique) show promising results in increasing mnemonic capabilities, little to no research has explored the use and integration of Virtual Memory Palaces over time in a ...

There have been studies on personalized augmented reality (AR) systems taking users’ contexts and histories into account. However, there is insufficient research on incorporating real-time user behavior and interactions into the personalized ...

Craniomaxillofacial surgeries are performed using custom-made physical cutting guides and resin dental splints that present several drawbacks (e.g. time and cost required for their design and production). The literature commonly provides augmented/...
