Human sensory processing is sensitive to the proximity of stimuli to the body. It is therefore plausible that these perceptual mechanisms also modulate the detectability of content in VR, depending on its location. We evaluate this in a…
Learning visual representations from observing actions to benefit robot visuo-motor policy generation is a promising direction that closely resembles human cognitive function and perception. Motivated by this, and further inspired by…
Objective: Immersive virtual reality (VR) enhances ecologically validity and facilitates intuitive and ergonomic hand interactions for performing neuropsychological assessments. However, its comparability to traditional computerized methods…
Virtual reality (VR) is not a new technology but has been in development for decades, driven by advances in computer technology. Currently, VR technology is increasingly being used in applications to enable immersive, yet controlled…
Metaverse learning environments allow for a seamless and intuitive transition between activities compared to Virtual Reality (VR) learning environments, due to their interconnected design. The design of VR scenes is important for creating…
Researchers in the humanities are among the many who are now exploring the world of big data. They have begun to use programming languages like Python or R and their corresponding libraries to manipulate large data sets and discover brand…
Learning functional neuroanatomy requires forming mental representations of 3D structure, but forming such representations from 2D textbook diagrams can be challenging. We address this challenge in the UW Virtual Brain Project by developing…
Plasma physics simulations create complex datasets for which researchers need state-of-the-art visualization tools to gain insights. These datasets are 3D in nature but are commonly depicted and analyzed using 2D idioms displayed on 2D…
Despite the impressive advancements achieved through vision-and-language pretraining, it remains unclear whether this joint learning paradigm can help understand each individual modality. In this work, we conduct a comparative analysis of…
This work proposes, implements and tests an immersive framework upon Virtual Reality (VR) for comprehension, knowledge development and learning process assisting an improved perception of complex spatial arrangements in AEC in comparison to…
Virtual reality (VR) is an imminent trend in games, education, entertainment, military, and health applications, as the use of head-mounted displays is becoming accessible to the mass market. Virtual reality provides immersive experiences…

Cinematic Virtual Reality (CVR) is a narrative-driven VR experience that uses head-mounted displays with a 360-degree field of view. Previous research has explored different viewing modalities to enhance viewers' CVR experience. This study…
Contribution: This article analyzes the learning and motivational impact of teacher-authored educational video games on computer science education and compares its effectiveness in both face-to-face and online (remote) formats. This work…
To create rich experiences in virtual reality (VR) environments, it is essential to define the behavior of virtual objects through programming. However, programming in 3D spaces requires a wide range of background knowledge and programming…
We conducted an exploratory study in virtual reality to examine if people can discover causal relations in a realistic sensorimotor context and how such learning is represented at different processing levels (conscious-cognitive vs.…
Context: Software development is a complex socio-technical process requiring a deep understanding of various aspects. In order to support practitioners in understanding such a complex activity, repository process metrics, like number of…
In the paper a new programming construct, called concept, is introduced. Concept is pair of two classes: a reference class and an object class. Instances of the reference classes are passed-by-value and are intended to represent objects.…
Visual learners think in pictures rather than words and learn best when they utilize representations based on graphs, tables, charts, maps, colors and diagrams. We propose a new pedagogy for teaching pointers in the C programming language…
We propose the Neuro-Symbolic Concept Learner (NS-CL), a model that learns visual concepts, words, and semantic parsing of sentences without explicit supervision on any of them; instead, our model learns by simply looking at images and…
