Diminished Reality (DR) is considered as the conceptual counterpart to Augmented Reality (AR), and has recently gained increasing attention from both industry and academia. Unlike AR which adds virtual objects to the real world, DR allows…
Currently, it is impossible for educators to be in multiple places simultaneously and teach each student individually. Technologies such as Extended Reality (XR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) enable the creation of realistic educational…
This work proposes a WebXR-based cross-platform conceptual architecture, leveraging the A-Frame and Networked-Aframe frameworks, in order to facilitate the development of an open, accessible, and interoperable metaverse. By introducing the…
In recent years, the Internet of Things (IoT) is studied in the context of the Metaverse to provide users immersive cyber-virtual experiences in mixed reality environments. This survey introduces six typical IoT applications in the…
The combination of Visual Guidance and Extended Reality (XR) technology holds the potential to greatly improve the performance of human workforces in numerous areas, particularly industrial environments. Focusing on virtual assembly tasks…
Wearable Augmented Reality (AR) is increasingly deployed in on-the-move contexts such as automated driving, cycling, and pedestrian navigation. To date, most systems rely on additive overlays that highlight hazards, intentions, or…
The Metaverse is driving the next wave of innovation for new opportunities by replacing the digital world (Internet) with the virtual world through a single, shared, immersive, persistent 3D virtual space. In this paper, we present…
The provision of open science is defined as a general policy aimed at overcoming the barriers that hinder the implementation of the European Research Area (ERA). An open science foundation seeks to capture all the elements needed for the…
Just as the emergence of personal computers and smartphones has changed the life of modern society, the Internet of Things, augmented reality and ultra-fast and reliable telecommunications networks of the new generation, by combining the…
Metaverse, with the combination of the prefix "meta" (meaning transcending) and the word "universe", has been deemed as the next-generation (NextG) Internet. It aims to create a shared virtual space that connects all virtual worlds via the…
The use of eXtended Reality (XR) technologies in the space domain has increased significantly over the past few years as it can offer many advantages when simulating complex and challenging environments. Space agencies are currently using…
A switchable virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR) system is proposed using digital optical cloaking. Optical cloaking allows completely opaque VR devices to be "cloaked," switching to AR or MR while providing…
Virtual and Augmented Reality have the potential to change information work. The ability to modify the workers senses can transform everyday environments into a productive office, using portable head-mounted displays combined with…
Visualization has long been fundamental to human communication and decision-making. Today, we stand at the threshold of integrating veridical, high-fidelity visualizations into immersive digital environments, alongside digital twinning…
