Top Research Papers on Virtual Reality

Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) technologies have revolutionized learning approaches through immersive digital experience, interactive environment, simulation and engagement. Yet, these technologies are in developing stage and require massive investment and mass customization to meet the high demand in education. This comprehensive review aims to frame AR and VR development in education during the last twelve years. By adopting text mining and topic analysis approaches, a total of 1536 articles were selected for further analysis. These articles were selected from Scopus databas...

Using the social psychology theory of elaboration likelihood model (ELM), we present a conceptual model of persuading consumer attitudes through virtual and augmented reality advertisements. We begin this paper with a systematic literature review that assesses a number of theoretical and empirical papers that utilize ELM for virtual reality and augmented reality advertisements. The second section presents research prepositions that facilitate the investigation of consumer attitude persuasion through virtual reality and augmented reality advertisements. The authors identified six research prepo...

The analysis shows that AR and VR are the solutions for teachers and students as a medium in the teaching and learning process, and there are several barriers to implementing AR and VR in educational institutions and some considerations.

The VR-EAL appears as an effective neuropsychological tool for the assessment of everyday cognitive functions, which has enhanced ecological validity, a highly pleasant testing experience, and does not induce cybersickness.

Based on the concepts of the Reality-Virtuality (RV) continuum and the stimulus-organism-response (SOR) framework, this study investigated differences between AR and VR in their effects on vividness/interactivity, a sense of presence, users' sensory brand app experience, attitude, and behavioral intention. For AR, participants downloaded an app to mobile phones. For VR, participants downloaded a VR app to smartphones attached to a Google Cardboard VR headset. Vividness and interactivity directly (or indirectly) impacted a sense of presence, sensory brand app experience, attitude towards techno...

The CSQ-VR is a valid assessment of cybersickness with superior psychometric properties to SSQ and VRSQ, and it benefits from examining pupil size, a biomarker of cybsickness.

Bibliometric research shows that animation, 3D graphics, and sound may replace more traditional ways of schooling in the future and Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) harness current technology to put digital content in the actual world, enabling consumers to have a more meaningful interaction with it on desktop or hand-held devices.

A systematic review of AR/VR technologies for education and training in the AEC industry indicates that there are some limitations in the applications and insights into future trends are provided.

This review suggests that using VR to assist mindfulness training is an effective and innovative way to improve mental health conditions within the adult population.

The results obtained show that in the context of changes to elements of a building’s spatial environment, human work efficiency is most related to the β rhythms at several test points and the right temporal lobe region of the brain, which provides a more accurate set of reference information for building space design based on occupant satisfaction and physical and mental health.

The concept of second chance tourism and the role of innovative preservation methods such as virtual and mixed reality are introduced and the collation of data will provide indications on site preservation and impact mitigation via a second chance to reduce pressure on inherently fragile destinations.

The optical requirements in near-eye displays poised by the human visual system are analyzed and compared against the specifications of state-of-the-art devices and potential solutions to address these challenges are presented case by case.

Alternative forms of intervention are investigated, such as video games, with virtual or augmented reality environments that aim to improve the quality of life of these children.

This paper examines the classification of modern VR head-mounted displays (HMDs) and conducts a comparative analysis on an example of several relevant for today headsets, showing that overall HTC Vive Pro has the best qualities among the other devices.

It is suggested that VR can and probably will fundamentally change the way in which tourists’ experiences and requirements are managed entirely.

Current and emerging technologies and applications in surgery, their benefits and challenges around immersion, spatial awareness and cognition, and their reported and projected use in learning environments, procedure planning and perioperative contexts and in the surgical theatre are explored.

The capability of the VR system to make users feel physically present in the virtual environment contributes significantly to the development of positive emotions and enjoyment, which can contribute positively to the user’s consumer behaviour towards the touristic products and services.

The system requirements based on visual and wearable comfort are defined and various VR and AR display architectures are analyzed and evaluated case by case, including some of the latest research progress and future perspectives.

The results indicate that VR is a prevalent tool in the research landscape of medical education technologies, with a positive trend toward enhancing educational outcomes, yet calls for more rigorous studies to establish definitive evidence of their efficacy.
