Abstract:
In this article, we provide the nontechnical reader with a fundamental understanding of the components of virtual reality (VR) and a thorough discussion of the role VR has played in social science. First, we provide a brief overview of the hardware and equipment used to create VR and review common elements found within the virtual environment that may be of interest to social scientists, such as virtual humans and interactive, multisensory feedback. Then, we discuss the role of VR in existing social scientific research. Specifically, we review the literature on the study of VR as an object, wherein we discuss the effects of the technology on human users; VR as an application, wherein we consider real-world applications in areas such as medicine and education; and VR as a method, wherein we provide a comprehensive outline of studies in which VR technologies are used to study phenomena that have traditionally been studied in physical settings, such as nonverbal behavior and social interaction. We then present a content analysis of the literature, tracking the trends for this research over the last two decades. Finally, we present some possibilities for future research for interested social scientists.

Abstract:
This paper conducts an extensive survey on existing Virtual Reality (VR)-based rehabilitation approaches in the context of different types of impairments: mobility, cognitive, and visual. Some VR-based assistive technologies involve repetitions of body movements, some require persistent mental exercise, while some work as sensory substitution systems. A multi-modal VR-based environment can incorporate a number of senses, (i.e., visual, auditory, or haptic) into the system and can be an immense source of motivation and engagement in comparison with traditional rehabilitation therapy. This survey categorizes virtual environments on the basis of different available modalities. Each category is again subcategorized by the types of impairments while introducing available devices and interfaces. Before concluding the survey, the paper also briefly focuses on some issues with existing VR-based approaches that need to be optimized to exploit the utmost benefit of virtual environment-based rehabilitation systems .

Abstract:
Mental health and substance abuse patients face many challenges in receiving effective long-term outpatient behavioral therapies, including issues related to accessibility and personalized care. Mobile health technologies, particularly those integrating virtual reality (VR), are increasingly becoming more accessible and affordable, thus providing a potential avenue to deploy outpatient behavioral therapy. This paper proposes a method to address the aforementioned challenges by personalizing and validating VR simulation content for behavioral therapy. An initial demonstration will be performed for tobacco cessation, which is a critical public health treatment area for mental illness and substance abuse. The method empirically builds smoker personas from theoretically grounded survey content. The personas are then used to design and pilot VR simulation modules tailored to behavioral interventions, which will be tested in the patient population. The VR simulation will record a subject’s emotions and brain activities in real-time through subjective (surveys) and objective (neurophysiology) measures of emotional response. The overall goal of the study is to validate the VR content by demonstrating that significant differences are seen in emotional response when presenting content personalized for the patient.

Abstract:
Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality are not new technologies. But several constraints prevented their actual adoption. Recent technological progresses added to the proliferation of affordable hardware and software have made AR and VR more viable and desirable in many domains, including educa-tion; they have been relaunched with new promises previously unimaginable. The nature of AR and VR promises new teaching and learning models that better meet the needs of the 21st century learner. We’re now on a path to re-invent education. This work consists of explaining the reasons behind the new rise of AR and VR and why their actual adoption in education will be a reality in a near fu-ture.

Abstract:
Data Visualization (DV) can be seen as an important tool for communication and data analysis. Especially when huge amounts of data are involved, visual representation of data can facilitate observation of trends and patterns as well as understanding. Currently, two dimensional displays are mainly used for Data Visualization, both in two and three dimensions (2D and 3D). However, two dimensional displays are limited in terms of 3D visualization because they do not allow for true sense of depth and do not cover the observer’s full Field Of View (FOV). An alternative approach is to use Virtual Reality (VR), which provides an immersive and interactive 3D environment. VR has been mainly used for gaming and simulated training. However, other areas are now emerging because VR technologies became relatively affordable. For example, one possibility is to explore VR for DV and this was the main goal of this project. To accomplish that, a literature study was performed to identify terminologies and definitions, hardware and software technologies, techniques and examples in the fields of DV and VR. In addition, in order to exemplify DV through VR, a prototype system was implemented using Unity 3D, a leading engine for VR. To visualize the developed VR environment, a HTC Vive Head Mounted Display (HMD) was used. The developed prototype system can display data from a local dataset in a scatter plot with three axis in VR. In the virtual environment created by the system, the user can select the attributes in the dataset to be displayed by the 3D scatter plot. Once the data is plotted, the user can use the handheld joystick to move, rotate, tilt and scale the scatter plot. Achieved results indicate immersion and interaction as the main perceived benefits of DV using VR.
Datavisualisering (DV) kan ses som ett viktigt verktyg för kommunikation och dataanalys, speciellt när stora mängder data behandlas. Visuell representation kan främja observationen av trender och mönster samt förståelsen av datan. För närvarande används tvådimensionella displayer huvudsakligen för datavisualisering, både i två och tre dimensioner (2D och 3D). Emellertid är tvådimensionella displayer begränsade i 3D-visualisering eftersom de inte möjliggör äkta djupseende, och täcker inte observatörens fulla synfält (Field Of View (FOV)). Ett alternativ tillvägagångssätt är att använda Virtual Reality (VR), vilket tillhandahåller en omslutande och interaktiv 3D-miljö. VR har huvudsakligen används för spel och simulerad träning. Däremot börjar nya användningsområden uppstå då VR teknologin har blivit mer prisvärd. Ett användningsområde är VR för DV, vilket var det huvudsakliga syftet för det här arbetet. För att uppnå syftet utfördes en litteraturstudie för att identifiera teknologier och definitioner, hårdvaru- och mjukvaruteknologier, tekniker och exempel inom området av DV och VR. Dessutom, för att exemplifiera DV genom VR, utvecklades ett prototypsystem. Vilket implementerades genom  Unity 3D, en av de ledande spelmotorerna. För att visualisera den utvecklade VR-miljön användes ett HTC Vive Head Mounted Display (HMD). Den utvecklade prototypen kan visualisera data från ett lokalt dataset genom ett spridningsdiagram med 3 axlar, i VR. I den virtuella miljön som skapas av systemet tillåts användaren att välja attribut från datasetet för att sedan visualisera dessa genom det tredimensionella spridningsdiagrammet. När datan väl är visualiserad, kan användaren använda de handhållna kontrollerna för att flytta, rotera, luta och skala grafen. Uppnådda resultat indikerar på omslutning och interaktion som de huvudsakliga fördelarna av DV genom VR.

Abstract:
Interest in Virtual Reality (VR) is growing fast. Tech companies are now starting to identify its most relevant application that will make it desireable. The use of VR in healthcare and mental health, has been proven through clinical research. Moreover, patient support programs extend treatment to people’s homes. An underlying opportunity was to envision a service for remote treatment of phobias with exposure therapy through VR. During the process, I conducted desk research, interviews, a workshop, prototyping and user testing. I collected evidence to lay out the service experience and communicate the key role of the therapist in the overall journey. My goal was to maximize the leaning outcome of exposure therapy and avoid the return of fear. Focusing on VR for the mobile phone, as the most accessible hardware for the broad audience, I created examples of exposure experience, that demonstrate the therapist’s presence and the user’s interactions with the environment.

Abstract:
Purpose: The purpose was to contribute to increased understanding on the use of VR, where integration is an essential and crucial part of whether it is an effective tool. The aim is to investigate VR as a tool between architect, client and engineer from sketch to planning permission, as well as to investigate applications from an engineering perspective. Method: Data has been collected through action research with the VR-hardware HTC Vive and interviews with architects, engineers and clients within the AEC-industry. A parallel literature study has been conducted. The three methods do thereafter make it possible to answer the questions and fulfill the goal. Findings: By communicating information through VR, a common ground is created, whereby different parties can work from. Coordination is facilitated when decisionmaking can be carried out on the same basis. The use of VR therefore promotes communication between involved parties. However, the tool is limited by its availability and due to the fact that it is new a technology which does not yet permit multiple users. I addition, the compatibility of the tool varies depending on the choice of plug-ins. IrisVR was noted to support all CAD programs, which means increased usability. Furthermore, the evaluated plug-ins have similar features. Implementation of VR can support building decisions by communicating how these affect other design aspects. As BIM is used to a greater extent, this imposes higher standards on the model. VR can thus serve as a tool for self-monitoring. Implications: The tool has been shown to provide increased understanding of volume, scale and concept, which can result in improved communication opportunities. Improved communication enables coordination between professional groups, which in turn provides better decision making. Despite advantages, there are limiting factors that cause VR not to be used to a greater extent. As a recommendation, VR should be integrated through appropriate evaluation of functions as well as a complement to today's tools. Limitations: This study was limited to the architecture office on which it was carried out and to selected hardware and software. The technology is developing at a high pace, which causes problems regarding the relevance of the results. Despite method triangulation, difficulties arise in maintaining objectivity when researchers are partly participating. Furthermore, the role of the client is less represented because of them not having as much experience in using VR. Keywords: Building Information Model (BIM), Computer Aided Design (CAD), Virtual Reality (VR), Information Communication Technology (ICT), Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) Content is described in Swedish below.

Virtual Reality (VR) has gained tremendous interest within the last decades and is rapidlybecoming a disruptive marketing tool across all industries. Predictions show that the VR marketis expected to reach a staggering US$120 billion by 2026 (Fortune Business Insights, 2019).While previous research has investigated the impact of VR on consumer attitudes, theconnection between its immersive characteristic, i.e. telepresence (Steuer, 1992), and thecomplexity of consumer attitudes (Eagly & Chaiken, 1993), is still relatively unknown. Hence,this paper addresses the discrepancy in extant literature by applying a qualitative researchapproach. We conduct in-depth interviews using a quasi-experiment design, displaying anapartment through 2D (pictures) and followingly 3D stimuli (VR). The increased telepresencefrom VR and its impact on participants’ responses towards the apartment is thereby captured.Results show that both technological variables of telepresence (vividness & interactivity) arepositively influential in the three-dimensional spectrum of consumer responses (affective,cognitive & conative). Moreover, this study reveals that telepresence contributes to enhancedproduct knowledge, produces a hedonic experience and aids in decision-making. Conclusively,managerial recommendations are provided, detailing aspects to consider before implementingsuch immersive technologies.

Abstract:
Virtual reality (VR) is a medium of human interaction which is becoming more popular by the day in today's technological advancements. The applications are being developed at the same rate as the technology itself and we have only seen the start of the possible benefits it could bring society. As the technology advances it will gain a lot of trust, and the potential use cases of virtual environments will be allowed to become more complex. Already today, they often involve network streaming components which often has very strict optimization requirements in order to be able to run in real-time with minimal delay under normal network conditions. In order to reach the required optimizations it is important to understand how users interact with such virtual environments. To support and facilitate the understanding of this kind of interaction we have developed a method for creating qualitative datasets containing extensive information about the 3D scene as well as the sensor data from the head-mounted display (HMD). We then apply this method to create a sample dataset from a virtual 3D environment and try to analyze the data collected through some simple methods for demonstrational purposes.

Abstract:
AbstractThe pandemic outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020 has profoundly affected the global leisure and tourism industry, with international travel bans affecting over 90% of the world’s population. Widespread restrictions on community mobility have resulted in a projected decline of international tourism arrivals up to 30%. The rapid development of Virtual Reality (VR) and its effectiveness in the simulation of real-life experiences provides an opportunity for virtual holiday making especially when actual travel is not possible. Based on a quantitative study with 193 participants, the role of VR as a substitute for physical travel during the pandemic outbreak of COVID-19 was examined, more specifically by looking at the relationship between perceived risk to travel and technological acceptance of VR. The findings suggest that tourists use VR as a travel substitute during and even after a pandemic. However, perceived risk does not play a significant role when it comes to using VR.

Abstract:
It was Ivan Sutherland, nearly 30 years ago, who introduced the modern concept of VR in his thesis work (Sutherland, 1963). It has been 14 years since Jaron Lanier (1996) coined the term virtual reality to collectively present such ideas as formulated since Sutherland. Since then, VR has been offered as a one-stop solution for tackling issues as diverse as ranging from manufacturing and design to tourism. In fact, the liberal usage of the word virtual, often drawn from the term VR, is best summed up by Professor J. Vince when he says, “today we have virtual universities, virtual offices, virtual pets, virtual graveyards, virtual exhibitions, virtual wind tunnels, virtual actors, virtual studios, virtual museums, virtual doctors—and all because of VR” (Vince, 1998, p. 1). Unfortunately, even such worldwide media attention has been unable to help VR penetrate and broad-base itself across all market segments as had been predicted. This article builds upon the above-mentioned issues while specifically focusing on: a. Finding and understanding the reasons for an overall lack of enthusiasm for VR usage in the Cost Sensitive Organizations (CSO). b. To develop and present a VR application methodology specifically for CSOs based on the findings of point “a”.

Abstract:
Abstract Virtual reality has received much attention in the past few years in relation to entertainment and simulation. Although there is much hype surrounding virtual reality, the underlying technologies and concepts could have a significant impact on computer-based design engineering tools. This paper explores the possible applications of virtual reality to the engineering design process. The objective of the described research is to explore opportunities to create tools, environments, and systems which will increase the designer’s productivity through the application of virtual reality (VR) technologies and concepts. Background on design, CAD and VR is presented to give a context for later proposals. Previous research in the application of VR to CAD is reviewed. Specific VR capabilities are presented to show their possible application in mechanical design and CAD systems specifically. The potential applications of VR are explored in a structured manner with examples for each category. The paper concludes with recommendations on further research and development directions.

Abstract:
Abstract Virtual reality (VR) is a great new technology which has extensive applications, and it is imperative that there is a way to use VR comfortably. This will allow VR to become an everyday tool, creating a more interactive world. With more VR integration new technologies can be created and allow VR to expand further into fields like therapy or military training. However, VR comes with some unfortunate side effects. The cybersickness that many people experience when using a VR system has been shown to trigger a thermoregulatory response that causes sweating, the sensation of being excessively hot, as well as nausea. These symptoms of cybersickness make it uncomfortable to use a VR system for any long period of time. In order to combat this, the authors present a device which can effectively cool the user to extend the time duration a user can comfortably use a VR system.

Abstract:
A little over two decades ago the opportunity to purchase a turn-key virtual reality (VR) solution was scarce. High priced head-mounted displays (HMD) and projection based technologies dominated the first VR revolution, which experienced a peak of growth and excitement in the late 1990s before fading. However, many of the early adaptors, innovators, developers, and researchers would argue that the evolution of VR did not fade. They may say that VR was a medium that was just ahead its time and was waiting for individual pieces to mature and for society to demand and push the boundaries of technology. The question facing society today is, has the time finally come when a consumer can truly purchase a turn-key VR system, which does not cost hundreds of thousands of dollars or even thousands of dollars but under a thousand dollars?

Abstract:
The article analyzes the peculiarities of the media content shaping and transformation in the convergent dimension of cross-media, taking into account the possibilities of augmented reality. With the help of the principles of objectivity, complexity and reliability in scientific research, a number of general scientific and special methods are used: method of analysis, synthesis, generalization, method of monitoring, observation, problem-thematic, typological and discursive methods. According to the form of information presentation, such types of media content as visual, audio, verbal and combined are defined and characterized. The most important in journalism is verbal content, it is the one that carries the main information load. The dynamic development of converged media leads to the dominance of image and video content; the likelihood of increasing the secondary content of the text increases. Given the market situation, the effective information product is a combined content that combines text with images, spreadsheets with video, animation with infographics, etc. Increasing number of new media are using applications and website platforms to interact with recipients. To proceed, the peculiarities of the new content of new media with the involvement of augmented reality are determined. Examples of successful interactive communication between recipients, the leading news agencies and commercial structures are provided. The conditions for effective use of VR / AR-technologies in the media content of new media, the involvement of viewers in changing stories with augmented reality are determined. The so-called immersive effect with the use of VR / AR-technologies involves complete immersion, immersion of the interested audience in the essence of the event being relayed. This interaction can be achieved through different types of VR video interactivity. One of the most important results of using VR content is the spatio-temporal and emotional immersion of viewers in the plot. The recipient turns from an external observer into an internal one; but his constant participation requires that the user preferences are taken into account. Factors such as satisfaction, positive reinforcement, empathy, and value influence the choice of VR / AR content by viewers.

Butyrina, Maria, and Valentina Ryvlina. MEDIATIZATION OF ART: VIRTUAL MUSEUM AS MASS MEDIA. Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, February 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.30970/vjo.2021.49.11075.

Full text
Abstract:
The research is devoted to the study of the phenomenon of mediatization of art on the example of virtual museums. Main objective of the study is to give communication characteristics of the mediatized socio-cultural institutions. The subject of the research is forms, directions and communication features of virtual museums. Methodology. In the process of study, the method of communication analysis, which allowed to identify and characterize the main factors of the museum’s functioning as a communication system, was used. Among them, special emphasis is put on receptive and metalinguistic functions. Results / findings and conclusions. The need to be competitive in the information space determines the gradual transformation of socio-cultural institutions into mass media, which is reflected in the content and forms of dialogue with recipients. When cultural institutions begin to function as media, they take on the features of media structures that create a communication environment localized by the functions of communicators and audience expectations. Museums function in such a way that along with the real art space they form a virtual space, which puts the recipients into the reality of the exhibitions based on the principle of immersion. Mediaization of art on the example of virtual museum institutions allows us to talk about: expanding of the perceptual capabilities of the audience; improvement of the exposition function of mediatized museums with the help of Internet technologies; interactivity of museum expositions; providing broad contextual background knowledge necessary for a deep understanding of the content of works of art; the possibility to have a delayed viewing of works of art; absence of thematic, time and space restrictions; possibility of communication between visitors; a huge target audience. Significance. The study of the mediatized forms of communication between museums and visitors as well as the directions of their transformation into media are certainly of interest to the scientific field of “Social Communications”.
