Today, scientists and engineers are exploring advanced applications uses of immersive systems that can be cost-effectively applied in their fields. However, one the impediments to widespread use these technologies is extensive technical expertise required application developers. A software environment provides abstractions from specific details hardware configurations low-level tools needed provide a common base for prototyping, development, testing debugging applications.

Digital Twin is an emerging technology that replicates real-world entities into a digital space. It has attracted increasing attention in the transportation field and many researchers are exploring its future applications development of Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) technologies. Connected vehicles (CVs) pedestrians among major traffic participants ITS. However, usage research involving both CV pedestrian remains largely unexplored. In this study, framework for in-the-loop...
The authors present the experiences at Electronic Visualization Laboratory (EVL) in introducing computational scientists to use of virtual reality as a research tool. They describe environment, CAVE. then several applications currently being developed EVL using CAVE and conclude with discussion on possible paths follow making an effective tool for visualization.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>

Anatomy training with real cadavers poses many practical problems for which new and educational solutions have been developed making use of technologies based on real-time 3-D graphics. Although virtual reality (VR) augmented (AR) previously used in the medical field, it is not easy to select right technology or setup each particular problem. For this reason, article presents a comprehensive comparative study 82 participants between two different interactive setups: an optical-based AR...
Aging civil infrastructure systems require imminent attention before any failure mechanism becomes critical. Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is employed to track inputs and/or responses of structural for decision support. Inspections and health monitoring field visits, subsequently expert assessment critical elements at site, which may be both time-consuming costly. Also, fieldwork including visits inspections pose danger, personal protective equipment structure closures during the...
We have created an immersive application for statistical graphics and investigated what benefits it offers over more traditional data analysis tools. present a description of both the tools our virtual environment, results experiment designed to determine if environment based on XGobi desktop system provides advantages high-dimensional data. The included two aspects each environment: three structure detection (visualization) tasks one ease interaction task. subjects were given these in C2...
Research on alternative ways to provide anatomy learning and training has increased over the past few years, especially since COVID-19 pandemic. Virtual reality (VR) augmented (AR) represent two promising alternatives in this regard. For reason, work, we analyze suitability of applying VR AR for training, comparing an optical-based setup a semi-immersive based table, using same software interaction system. The AR-based uses Magic Leap One, whereas table is configured through use stereoscopic...
Metabolic networks combine metabolism and regulation. These complex are difficult to understand visualize due the amount diverse types of information that need be represented. For example, pathway gives indications interactions. Experimental data, such as transcriptomics, proteomics metabolomics give snapshots system state. Stereoscopic virtual environments provide a true three-dimensional representation metabolic networks, which can intuitively manipulated, may help manage data...
Omni-Directional Treadmills (ODT) and Redirected Walking (RDW) seem suitable for eliciting presence through a full-body walking experience, however both present unique mechanisms that can affect users' presence, comfort, overall preference. To measure this effect, we conducted counterbalanced within-subjects user study with 20 participants. Participants wore wireless VR headset experienced tour of virtual art museum, once using RDW another time passive, slip-based ODT. Both solutions elicit...
Motion-based simulators are used for a variety of applications, such as research, education, entertainment and training. In fact, motion cues required to achieve the highest regulatory certifications in training vehicle simulators. Nonetheless, reproduction self-motion presents technological economic limitations that not present generation audiovisual cues. For this reason, generated does generally match expected one. Therefore, it is necessary define means assess suitability/fidelity After...
Abstract Human-computer interaction based on hand gesture tracking is not uncommon in Augmented Reality. In fact, the most recent optical Reality devices include this type of natural interaction. However, due to hardware and system limitations, these devices, more often than not, settle for semi-natural techniques, which may always be appropriate some tasks needed applications. For reason, we compare two different setups equipped with tracking. The first one a Microsoft HoloLens (released...
