Participants of the Berlin Summit on Earth Virtualization Engines (EVEs) discussed ideas and concepts to improve our ability to cope with climate change. EVEs aim to provide interactive and accessible climate simulations and data for a wide…
As computer simulations progress to increasingly complex, non-linear, and three-dimensional systems and phenomena, intuitive and immediate visualization of their results is becoming crucial. While Virtual Reality (VR) and Natural User…
Exploring large virtual environments, such as cities, is a central task in several domains, such as gaming and urban planning. VR systems can greatly help this task by providing an immersive experience; however, a common issue with viewing…
Virtual reality has been effectively used for eliciting emotions, yet most research focuses on the intensity of affective responses rather than on how interaction influences those experiences. To address this gap, we advance a validated VR…
Extended Reality (XR) enables immersive capture and re-experience of personal memories, yet how interface representations shape these experiences remains underexplored. We examine how users relive and share XR memories through three…
Data transformation is an essential step in data science. While experts primarily use programming to transform their data, there is an increasing need to support non-programmers with user interface-based tools. With the rapid development in…
Human communication has been profoundly changed by social media, which allows users to engage in previously unheard-of ways, such as text-based conversations, video chats, and live streaming. The digital landscape has started to change in…
This study will investigate the user experience while interacting with highly photorealistic virtual job interviewer avatars in Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and on a 2D screen. Having a precise speech recognition mechanism,…
Inherent uncertainty in geological data acquisition leads to the generation of large ensembles of equiprobable 3D reservoir models. Running computationally costly numerical flow simulations across such a vast solution space is infeasible. A…
Forest bathing is a nature immersion practice that reduces stress, restores mental resources, and has a wide variety of use cases in the treatment of mental illnesses. Since many people who need the benefits of forest bathing have little…
As virtual reality (VR) systems become increasingly more advanced, they are likewise expected to respond intelligently and adapt to individual user states, abilities, and preferences. Recent work has explored how VR can be adapted and…
Data-driven stories seek to inform and persuade audiences through the use of data visualisations and engaging narratives. These stories have now been highly optimised to be viewed on desktop and mobile computers. In contrast, while…
Virtual reality (VR) is an emerging technology of great societal potential. Some of its most exciting and promising use cases include remote scene content and untethered lifelike navigation. This article first highlights the relevance of…
Virtual Reality (VR) museums provide immersive visiting experiences. Despite growing efforts in VR museum design optimization, limited research addresses its efficacy for older adults. We sought to investigate the challenges of and…
Virtual Reality (VR) technology has been shown to achieve remarkable results in multiple fields. Due to the nature of the immersive medium of Virtual Reality it logically follows that it can be used as a high-quality educational tool as it…
Interactive volume visualization using a mixed reality (MR) system helps provide users with an intuitive spatial perception of volumetric data. Due to sophisticated requirements of user interaction and vision when using MR head-mounted…
Virtual reality (VR) is rapidly growing, with the potential to change the way we create and consume content. In VR, users integrate multimodal sensory information they receive, to create a unified perception of the virtual world. In this…
Recent years have witnessed the rapid development and wide adoption of immersive head-mounted devices, such as HTC VIVE, Oculus Rift, and Microsoft HoloLens. These immersive devices have the potential to significantly extend the methodology…
Virtual reality (VR) offers immersive visualization and intuitive interaction. We leverage VR to enable any biomedical professional to deploy a deep learning (DL) model for image classification. While DL models can be powerful tools for…
