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…

This work-in-progress paper discusses the use of student-centered pedagogy to teach clinical oculomotor examination via Virtual Reality (VR). Traditional methods, such as PowerPoint slides and lab activities, are often insufficient for…

Virtual reality (VR) technology is commonly used in entertainment applications; however, it has also been deployed in practical applications in more serious aspects of our lives, such as safety. To support people working in dangerous…

The computational notebook serves as a versatile tool for data analysis. However, its conventional user interface falls short of keeping pace with the ever-growing data-related tasks, signaling the need for novel approaches. With the rapid…

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…

Immersive environments enable users to engage in embodied interaction, enhancing the sensemaking processes involved in completing tasks such as immersive analytics. Previous comparative studies on immersive analytics using augmented and…

As more people work from home or during travel, new opportunities and challenges arise around mobile office work. On one hand, people may work at flexible hours, independent of traffic limitations, but on the other hand, they may need to…

Although access to sufficient screen space is crucial to knowledge work, workers often find themselves with limited access to display infrastructure in remote or public settings. While virtual displays can be used to extend the available…

Despite extensive use in related domains, Virtual Reality (VR) for generalised anxiety disorder (GAD) has received little previous attention. We report upon a VR environment created for the Oculus Rift and Unreal Engine 4 (UE4) to…

VR has recently been promoted as a tool for knowledge workers and studies have shown that it has the potential to improve knowledge work. However, studies on its prolonged use have been scarce. A prior study compared working in VR for one…

This paper provided empirical knowledge of the user experience for using collaborative visualization in a distributed asymmetrical setting through controlled user studies. With the ability to access various computing devices, such as…

We present an experiment exploring how the controller's virtual representation impacts target acquisition performance across MR and VR contexts. Participants performed selection tasks comparing four visual configurations: a virtual…

Virtual reality (VR) introduces sensory perturbations that may impact perception and action. The current study was designed to investigate how immersive VR presented through a head-mounted display (HMD) affects perceived functional body…

Nowadays, Mixed Reality (MR) headsets are a game-changer for knowledge work. Unlike stationary monitors, MR headsets allow users to work with large virtual displays anywhere they wear the headset, whether in a professional office, a public…

This research explores how different virtual work environments, differing in the type and amount of elements they include, impact users' flow, performance, emotional state, and preferences. Pre-study interviews were conducted to inform the…

This study investigates the potential of virtual reality (VR) for enhancing sales skills training using a Cave Automatic Virtual Environment (CAVE). VR technology enables users to practice interpersonal and negotiation skills in controlled,…

Augmented Reality is the fusion of virtual components and our real surroundings. The simultaneous visibility of generated and natural objects often requires users to direct their selective attention to a specific target that is either real…

Ergonomic efficiency is essential to the mass and prolonged adoption of VR/AR experiences. While VR/AR head-mounted displays unlock users' natural wide-range head movements during viewing, their neck muscle comfort is inevitably compromised…

In this research, we are concerned with the applicability of virtual reality-based attention training as a tool for stress management. Mental stress is a worldwide challenge that is still far from being fully managed. This has maintained a…

The advent of technology-enhanced interventions has significantly transformed mental health services, offering new opportunities for delivering psychotherapy, particularly in remote settings. This paper reports on a pilot study exploring…
