Virtual reality (VR) is a powerful tool that allows humans to interact with systems at scale, often more feasibility and/or accessibility. However, the usefulness of these digital counterparts can be limited by immersiveness experience, especially when human-system interaction integral for use case (e.g., VR training or gaming). Therefore, increasing users’ sense presence improve utility VR. Previous literature suggests integrating olfactory may beneficial towards this. gaps exist in...
Virtual reality (VR) simulations have emerged as valuable tools for training and education, allowing learners to engage with realistic virtual environments. This study investigates a novel VR simulation that integrates visual, audio, haptic, olfactory cues. Participants (N=54) learned specific sequence of interactions operating the Super Soaker 5000 pump panel were subsequently tested on their ability replicate these steps. Demographic data sense presence questionnaires collected. The...
The study of public safety technology, interventions, and training involves variable hazardous conditions, which complicate observation measurement. Informative evaluation approaches require reasonable representation these conditions. Nonetheless, representing conditions is resource intensive difficult to replicate. For reasons, research may be limited by low-fidelity that differ from the intended real-world application inaccessibility more realistic training. Extended Reality (XR)...
NIST PSCR was allocated $300 million to support research for future first responder technologies. The UI/UX team are using Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR/AR) test the usability allow rapid prototyping of new user interfaces. They've worked with law enforcement, fire service, emergency medical services come up unique virtual environments scenarios development visual aids, haptic feedback devices, audio cue style has also awarded over $15 in grants $1.5 prizes external collaborators...
