Key research themes

1. How does Virtual Reality (VR) impact diverse sectors like healthcare, education, and gaming in terms of user interactivity and therapeutic outcomes?

This research theme investigates the role of VR applications in enhancing interactivity and user immersion across multiple fields such as healthcare, education, and gaming. It highlights how VR technology facilitates realistic environments and experiences that can enhance learning, provide therapeutic interventions, and improve user engagement. The importance of interactivity and presence is explored, showing VR's potential to alter perception and behavior effectively.

Key finding: This study from the Department of Computer Science, Matej Bel University, Slovakia, demonstrates VR's role in gaming, healthcare, and education, showing how interactivity within VR environments impacts user experience and... Read more
Key finding: Employing a systematic literature review, this research highlights the transformative potential of Extended Reality (XR), encompassing VR and MR, in creating immersive virtual learning environments (VLEs). Findings indicate... Read more
Key finding: This investigation presents VR flying experiences inspired by transcendent flying dreams and self-transcendent emotions. Using embodied interfaces, it shows VR’s capacity to induce empowerment via enhanced self-efficacy and... Read more

2. What technological and methodological advancements optimize VR data transmission and synchronization for immersive multi-user experiences?

This theme focuses on overcoming challenges related to real-time data exchange and synchronization in multi-user VR environments. Ensuring consistent Quality of Experience (QoE) across users requires efficient transmission of positional and interaction data to maintain immersion and prevent lag-induced disruptions that reduce usability, especially for collaborative or training applications. The theme also covers session recording for replay and analytics, emphasizing novel algorithms and data encoding methods.

Key finding: Researchers from University of Crete and ORamaVR propose two algorithms using geometric algebra that efficiently compress and transmit user hand-device positional and orientational data during networked VR sessions. This... Read more
