Extended-Reality Technologies: An Overview of Emerging Applications in Medical Education and Clinical Care.

Public space scenes are being transformed by virtual reality (VR) technology, offering immersive and interactive experiences that redefine how people engage with their surroundings. Through VR simulations, users can explore and interact with virtual public spaces in ways that were previously impossible. From virtual parks and plazas to digital replicas of iconic landmarks, VR technology allows users to experience the ambiance and atmosphere of public spaces from the comfort of their own homes. Moreover, VR enables designers and planners to experiment with different layouts, amenities, and features, facilitating participatory design processes and community engagement. This paper presents a visual design and evaluation framework for public space scenes using virtual reality (VR) technology, enhanced by Virtual Parallel Edge Hashing Computing (VPE-HC). The framework aims to optimize the design and user experience of public spaces by leveraging VR technology to create immersive and interactive simulations. Through simulated experiments and empirical validations, the effectiveness of the VPE-HC-enhanced VR-based design and evaluation process is evaluated. Results demonstrate significant improvements in user satisfaction, engagement, and usability compared to traditional design methods. For instance, users interacting with public space scenes designed using VPE-HC reported a 40% increase in perceived safety and a 25% improvement in overall satisfaction ratings. Additionally, the framework enabled designers to optimize spatial layouts and amenities based on real-time user feedback and performance data, leading to more effective and user-centric design solutions. These findings underscore the potential of VPE-HC in enhancing the visual design and evaluation of public space scenes based on VR technology, facilitating more inclusive and user-friendly urban environments.

Artificial intelligence involves imitating human thought, consciousness, and other aspects. This is similar to having machine with human brain that can think, produce independently. However, unlike human brain, it has a speed, memory advantage. A virtual reality interactive glove is built using a nine-axis inertial sensor, an artificial intelligence deep learning algorithm. In this research work, Product Design Interaction and Experience Based on Virtual Reality Technology (PDIE-VRT-SCGAN) were proposed. Initially, input gestures data are gathered from the Virtual Reality Experiences (VRE) dataset. The input gestures data is then pre-processed using Multi-Window Savitzky-Golay Filter (MWSGF) to reduce noises, increase overall quality of the gestures data. In order to improving overall user engagement in product design interactions on virtual reality (VR) technology, the pre-processed gestures data are then fed into an adversarial network called a Semi-Cycled Generative Adversarial Network (SCGAN). In general, SCGAN does not express some adaption of optimization strategies for determining optimal parameters to promise exact to improving overall user engagement in product design interactions using VR technology. Therefore, FOX-inspired Optimization (FIO) is proposed to enhance weight parameter of SCGAN method, which precisely improving the user experience in product design interaction. The efficacy of PDIE-VRT-SCGAN method is assessed using a number of performance criteria, including tracking accuracy, frame rate, latency, rendering time, error rate, and user error. The proposed PDIE-VRT-SCGAN method attains 22.36%, 25.42% and 18.17% higher tracking accuracy, 21.26%, 15.42% and 19.27% higher latency, 28.36%, 25.32% and 28.27% higher frame rate compared with existing methods, such as design and implementation of virtual reality interactive product software depend on artificial intelligence deep learning algorithm(DVRI-PS-AI-DL), virtual evaluation system for product designing utilizing virtual reality (VES-PD-VR), and analysis of unsatisfying user experiences with unmet psychological needs for virtual reality exergames utilizing deep learning approach (AUUE-UP-VRE-DLA) respectively.

With rapid development of digital technology including virtual reality(VR) technology, many museums of the world presented new forms of exhibitions or refined cyber museum contents especially since 2015. This study tries to examine theses new attempts and strategies through the interdisciplinary perspective. According to our case studies, the ways of using VR technology could be classified by 4 types of strategy. ① Cyber museum s strategy to give experience of visiting virtually all the spaces of museum such as VR guide tour ② Recontextualization strategy by reproducing virtually the era and the environments where exhibits originally existed ③ VR content as a new media art to expand existing exhibition ④ Virtual exhibition by making virtual space through gamification. By embodying a technical dimension in zero-dimensional digital form, Vilém Flusser s theory predicted that magical and ritual images’ era, such as the era of Lasco s cave painting, would come again. Based on the theory of Flusser, this study shows that the development of ways of using VR technology will continue to expand the aura of original exhibits in a new way, and allow us to experience modern mythos.

RETRACTED: Development and application of VR course resources based on embedded system in open education

Sailing has gained an increasing attention among children and adolescents in China, which raised a strong need for sail courses through physical education (PE). However, challenges in teaching practice arise with rapid development of the sport. In the current study, we proposed a perspective that virtual reality (VR) technology makes high-quality sail education accessible for students. Critical analysis summarized the prominent features that enhance sail education, including immersive experience, interactive learning, the first-person view, and practice under well-controlled conditions. Further, research on VR sport training indicated successful transfer from virtual environment to real situation. Specifically, significant improvement in skill performance and tactical behaviors were identified, which was attributed to the enhanced perception-action coupling after VR training. Additionally, VR-based coding programs provide students with affordances of designing the virtual environment. The content design education promotes comprehension and application of knowledge and theories when students develop the simulated environment with a high level of presence. Therefore, VR technology is a promising instrument to meet the increasing demand on sail education. While VR enriches educational resources for a large class size, the interdisciplinary feature of VR-based sail course can attract students with different study interests and backgrounds to the class.

Lower body tracking and user experience analysis are ongoing challenges in immersive technologies and biomechanics research, respectively. Particularly, in immersive technologies like mixed reality, there are limited research applications in user comfort and experience, and locomotion. In this paper, we aimed to conduct a cross-disciplinary research (by combining the elements of Biomechanics and human–computer interaction) in understanding the impact of user experience and immersive technologies induced symptoms in virtual and mixed reality environments for obstacle clearance tasks. For this, we created obstacle clearance applications for Oculus Quest and Microsoft HoloLens. Also, we conducted a user study with 12 participants under two conditions (virtual reality and mixed reality) in obstacle clearance behavior of varying heights. The results from our study indicated that the levels of immersion and enjoyment were significantly higher in virtual reality compared to mixed reality. In terms of virtual reality-induced symptoms, the participants found the mixed reality environment to be slightly more comfortable than virtual reality.
