Abstract:
Film festival is a place to convey specific film for specific purposes. Festival nowadays were broaden their medium, not only on screen but also involved more audience with new technology mobile devices. As the longest running documentary film festival in Indonesia, Festival Film Dokumenter (FFD) have been concern about the impact of film screenings to the audience. Since 2016, FFD have been intend to using several medium to convey disability rights awareness. FFD conducted the program Virtual Reality (2016) and The Feelings of Reality (2018). Both of those program were using Virtual Reality (VR) technology during the festival showcase. In 2016 program, the audience even placed in the replica setting to have a similar situation with people with epilepsy. VR is the new attempt to brings the new documentary experience. This technology lead the impression of reality to the audience. VR known as a device that can enhance the audience cinematic experience. In documentary filmmaking, which always closely associated with the depiction of reality - in a way, the VR technology can provide different perspective on perceiving documentary. In documentary screenings, VR have a powerful strength on bringing the reliable reality which closer to the audience. Festival offers the discourse on watching the documentary into experiencing the documentary using VR. This paper will discuss about how festival provide alternative medium to present disability issue to the public. Vice versa, how audience raised their awareness through VR technology. This study conducted in qualitative impact study that focused on in-depth interview with both festival organizer/programmer and audience. This study found out that VR technology identically constructed the reality. This method is the most effective way to raising the awareness because people would feel how to live with disability closely and clearly. Rather than just watching a film, experiencing disability through VR prove a different impression to the audience. By presenting the actual condition of people with disability, VR succeed to give more heightened impact and awareness on this issue.

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:
With the rapid development of digital information technology, virtual reality (VR) and VR visual space technology have become important branches in the field of computer 5G. Their application research has attracted more and more attention, and their practical value and application prospects are also very broad. This paper mainly studies the artistic style conversion based on 5G VR and VR visual space. This paper starts from the two concepts of VR technology and VR vision, analyzes the development process and characteristics of the two, discusses the possibility and inevitability of the fusion of the two, and leads to the space art produced by the fusion of VR technology and VR vision. This kind of art space gives people an “immersive” experience. This paper analyzes multiple immersive experience works, analyzes its multi-sensory and multi-technical spatial art style transformation form, and summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of the current art style transformation form based on 5G VR and VR visual space, with a view to the future development of VR immersion for reference. This paper analyzes the ease-of-use indicators. The experimental results show that, except for the sensory experience indicators, the average values of other indicators are less than 1. This is a project with better ease of use, and the use of 5G VR and VR vision technology can improve the transformation of space art style.

Abstract:
Virtual Reality (VR) is an emerging technology that provides K–12 students with unique experiences for robust science learning by transporting them to a virtual world where they may engage directly with scientific phenomena. This is because VR creates lifelike three-dimensional spaces where students can manipulate objects; hear, see, and sometimes feel the environment; and explore places that mimic attributes of the real world. VR holds great utility in science education by engaging students in science topics that may be otherwise inaccessible to them in the real world. This inaccessibility may stem from the content (being too small, large, or abstract), safety issues (too hazardous or dangerous), not having access to the materials in their context, possessing physical or cognitive disabilities where they need to do the activity repeatedly or differently, or having cultural, religious, or ethical concerns related to conducting specific science experiments. This commentary discusses how three key types of VR hardware (VR viewers, desktop VR systems, and head-mounted displays) can be incorporated into science standards, curriculum, and instruction by delineating the pros and cons of each. The commentary concludes with specific, stepwise guidance in ideating, designing, and implementing VR-based experiences for K–12 students in the science classroom.

Abstract:
The use of virtual reality (VR) as a medium for education can contribute to the learning efficiency of students. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of VR application in advanced biology courses, specifically in enhancing the comprehension and understanding of high school students toward the topic of human organs and other related systems. Four high school teachers and 138 high school students selected from three separate classes participated in this study. To determine the impact of VR education from both teachers’ and students’ perspectives, learning satisfaction and the effectiveness of instructional material were assessed with questionnaires. We found that from teachers’ perspective, VR was an efficient teaching tool that enhanced students’ attention and contributed to the improvement of learning outcomes. From the students’ perspective, they were willing to use VR instructional material and were satisfied with this learning method. Applying VR technology in the classroom should be encouraged. However, some students identified dizziness as a concern when VR glasses were used for longer periods of time. Therefore, we suggest that VR glasses be limited to 30 minutes of use at a time.

Abstract:
Korea is constructing its information highway scheduled for completion by 2015. However, not all this highway infrastructure is part of the national strategy. The development plan includes extensive software applications for the movie, game, and multimedia industries. At the present time the Internet can represented as the sea of information (cyber space) which can be searched for any information, new concept, or promotion over time and space. The increasing number and demands of Internet users drive the development. In particular, those demands are promoting the movement from 2D to 3D environments, as well as interactions that make the virtual, or cyber, world more closely resemble the real world. With those efforts go an increasing interest in virtual reality (VR), and there is currently much VR research and the development of commercial VR applications taking place in Korea. In this paper I describe the technology trends, the organizations involved in VR research, and introduce the other articles in this issue of the IJVR

AbstractThis contribution includes the development and validation of a Virtual Reality (VR) supported creativity technique: “Sensory Stimulus Environment Technique”. Key elements of this technique are the creativity process, a VR tool and the support of the tool (Virtual Creative Environments). The creativity process consists of phases for individual and group-based work. The VR tool “Virtual Creativity” includes functions to support the preparation of Virtual Creative Environments (VCE), the generation and evaluation of new ideas. For the generation of VCE, the tool possesses an environment configurator. Users of this function are supported by Design Rules for VCE.For the validation of the creativity technique, it was used in a product engineering project. The project members procedure two phases of the creativity process (Preparation and Individual Idea Generation) and used “Virtual Creativity” to generate VCEs and ideas to solve their tasks. By questionnaires, functions of “Virtual Creativity” were assessed for generating VCEs and ideas.

Abstract:
Previous research has studied the use of Building Performance Simulations (BPS) tools withBuilding Information Modeling (BIM). BPS can be used to visualize and evaluate the designof buildings. Virtual Reality (VR) can be used as a BPS tool for designing indoor lighting.The problem is that previous research still has difficulties with data interoperability. That isthe integration of VR with BIM. Many studies suggest using the file format IFC to mitigatethis problem.The aim of this study is to investigate how to increase data interoperability by using a fileformat IFC. A prototype system will be developed to test this. The research question is if openBIM formats can improve the quality of design solutions? The study will try to answer howVR can be integrated with BIM and how VR can be used for indoor lighting design.The result from this thesis is in part a prototype system called FooBar. FooBar shows how VRcan be integrated with BIM. However, the file format IFC was not used throughout the wholedesign process. Instead, IFC is only used at the beginning and the end of the process. Thisstudy shows how VR can be used as an alternative BPS tool. Users can manipulate lights inthe building model. These changes are then updated in the original BIM model.This means that VR can be used to improve the quality of design solutions. In other words,FooBar can help to cope with multidisciplinary design processes. Users can immersethemselves into the virtual environment and see different design alternatives for themselves.Different design alternatives can easily be rendered in VR. With a system like FooBar, userscan easily define, propose, and analyze different design ideas to reach design goals.
Tidigare forskning har studerat hur simuleringsverktyg (Building Performance Simulations,BPS) kan användas med byggnadsinformationsmodellering (Building Information Modeling,BIM).Simuleringsverktyg kan dels användas för att visualisera design och användas somdesignutvärdering. Virtual Reality (VR), eller virtuell verklighet, kan användas som ettsimuleringsverktyg för design av inomhusbelysning. Problemet är att tidigare forskning harproblem med datakompatibilitet, d.v.s. integrationen av VR med BIM. Många studier föreslåratt filformatet IFC används för att lösa detta problem.Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur man ökar datakompatibiliteten genom attanvända ett IFC. Ett prototypsystem kommer att utvecklas för att testa detta. Forskningsfråganhandlar om huruvida öppna BIM-format kan förbättra kvaliteten på designlösningarna.Studien ska även försöka svara på hur VR kan integreras med BIM och hur VR kan användasför inomhusbelysningsdesign.Resultatet av detta arbete är en del av ett prototypsystem kallat FooBar. FooBar visar hur VRkan integreras med BIM. Filformatet IFC användes emellertid inte under heladesignprocessen. Istället används IFC endast i början och slutet av processen. Det andraresultatet är att denna studie visar hur VR kan användas som ett alternativ till andrasimuleringsverktyg. Med FooBar kan användare flytta, rotera och skala om ljus ibyggnadsmodellen. Dessa ändringar uppdateras sedan i den ursprungliga BIM-modellen.Det betyder att VR kan användas för att förbättra kvaliteten på designlösningarna. FooBar kanmed andra ord bidra till att underlätta multidisciplinära designprocesser. Användare kan självakliva in i den virtuella miljön (i VR) och se olika designalternativ framför sig. Således kanolika designalternativ enkelt göras i VR. Med ett system som FooBar kan användarna enkeltdefiniera, föreslå och analysera olika designidéer för att nå de designmål som finns i projektet.

Abstract:
Denna uppsats undersöker hur VR-verktyg kan användas för att skapa bättre förutsättningar för personer med funktionsnedsättningar. Bakgrunden till undersökningen är att i Sverige finns det närmare 1,5 miljoner människor som lever med funktionsnedsättningar. Det kommer med jämna mellanrum nya direktiv från bland annat den svenska regeringen och EU för att de funktionshinder som finns ska överbyggas. Samtidigt så håller VR-tekniken på att utvecklas i en rasande fart  Huvudfokus för VR-verktyget har varit HTC Vive och den funktionsnedsättning som varit i fokus har varit nedsatt rörelseförmåga i form av att vara rullstolsburen. Syftet har varit att ta reda på i vilken mån de som arbetar med projektering idag är medvetna om de behov som funktionsnedsatta har och hur de arbetar för att säkerställa att dessa behov tillmötesgås. Syftet har även varit att undersöka hur VR-verktyg likt HTC Vive kan användas för att skapa bättre förutsättningar för personer med funktionsnedsättningar. Undersökningen har skett genom att via studier inhämta teori som sedan jämförts med resultat från en kvalitativ studie. Den kvalitativa studien har bestått av intervjuer med sex personer som på något sätt jobbar med projektering av byggnader och annan bebyggelse. Under dessa intervjuer har de som deltagit vid intervjun även fått testa på att röra sig i en VR-miljö med en rullstolsburens förutsättningar. Denna VR-miljö samt funktionen att röra sig med en rullstolsburens förutsättningar har utvecklats i samband med detta examensarbete. Resultatet analyserades och slutsatserna blev att det finns en medvetenhet gällande funktionsnedsatta och tillgänglighet hos de som arbetar med projektering idag. Denna medvetenhet grundar sig huvudsakligen i de lagar och regler som finns gällande byggande och tillgänglighet. Det virtuella verktyg, som HTC Vive, kan bidra med är att verifiera att det som byggts verkligen fungerar ur tillgänglighetssynpunkt. VR-verktyg kan även bidra till en förståelse för hur det är att leva med en funktionsnedsättning. Detta kan i sin tur leda till utveckling i byggprocessen med hänsyn till tillgänglighet, vilket skapar en mer universell design. För att det ska kunna slå igenom och börja användas i praktiken behöver verktyg tillverkade av professionella utvecklare utvecklas, till exempel av Autodesk.

Abstract:
Despite the number of studies demonstrating the opportunities for the broad implication of virtual reality (VR) across numerous industry domains, including media, this technology has not yet made history, to a large extent, because of the bottlenecks that prevent it from becoming mainstream. A number of media houses, video production companies, and even VR equipment developers such as The New York Times, Disney, or Oculus invested into the creation of the VR video platforms and apps with 360-degree films and VR movies. However, their acceptance by a general public has been slower than many have anticipated. This paper explores the ecosystem of platforms serving VR video and identifies the factors influencing their development and adoption based on the insights from the previous research on the technology acceptance models (TAMs) of virtual reality and interviews with ten VR professionals: developers, content providers, and representatives of VR video platforms. This qualitative study reveals that VR hardware design and performance (degrees of freedom, rendered video quality, immobility, interaction with VR content, cybersickness), the price of VR headsets (which are monofunctional devices), limited socialization features in virtual environment, the lack of appealing VR content and issues with its production are some of the main components that hinder the interest towards virtual reality and VR video platforms by a large audience. These determinants, subsequently, may influence the VR users’ perceived enjoyment, usefulness and ease of use, essential for the emerging technologies diffusion. The paper presents the discussion on the bottlenecks and potential growth points that may become the drivers for the further development of platforms offering VR video and their adoption by the wider public.
Trots ett stort antal studier som visar upp möjligheterna för bred implikation av virtual reality (VR) över flertalet branschdomäner, inklusive media, har denna teknik ännu inte fått ett brett genomslag, i stor utsträckning, på grund av flaskhalsar som hindrar den från att bli "mainstream". Ett antal mediehus, videoproduktionsföretag och till och med utvecklare av VR-utrustning (som The New York Times, Disney samt Oculus) investerade i skapandet av VR-videoplattformar och appar med 360-graders filmer och VR-filmer. Allmänhetens acceptans har gått långsammare än många har förväntat sig. Denna uppsats utforskar ekosystemet för plattformar som leverar VR-video och identifierar de faktorer som påverkar deras utveckling och antagande baserat på insikter från tidigare forskning om teknikacceptationsmodeller (TAM) för virtual reality och intervjuer med tio VR-proffs: utvecklare, innehållsleverantörer, och representanter för VR-videoplattformar. Denna kvalitativa studie avslöjar att VR-hårdvarudesign och prestanda (frihetsgrader, renderad videokvalitet, rörlighet, interaktion med VR-innehåll, "cybersickness"), priset på VR-headset (som monofunktionella enheter), begränsade socialiseringsfunktioner i virtuell miljö, bristen av tilltalande VR-innehåll och problem med dess produktion är några av de viktigaste komponenterna som hindrar intresset för virtual reality och VR-videoplattformar att nå en stor publik. Dessa avgörande faktorer kan därefter påverka VR-användarnas upplevda njutning, användbarhet och användarvänlighet, vilket är väsentligt för spridningen av ny teknik. Uppsatsen presenterar diskussionen om flaskhalsar och potentiella tillväxtpunkter som kan bli drivkrafter för vidareutveckling av plattformar som erbjuder VR-video och deras antagande av en bredare allmänhet.

Abstract:
People call the year of 2016 as the year of virtual reality. As the world leading tech giants are releasing their own Virtual Reality (VR) products, the technology of VR has been more available than ever for the mass market now. However, the fact that the technology becomes cheaper and by that reaches a mass-market, does not in itself imply that long-standing usability issues with VR have been addressed. Problems regarding motion sickness (MS) and motion control (MC) has been two of the most important obstacles for VR technology in the past. The main research question of this study is: “Are there persistent universal access issues with VR related to motion control and motion sickness?” In this study a mixed method approach has been utilized for finding more answers related to these two important aspects. A literature review in the area of VR, MS and MC was followed by a quantitative controlled study and a qualitative evaluation. 32 participants were carefully selected for this study, they were divided into different groups and the quantitative data collected from them were processed and analyzed by using statistical test. An interview was also carried out with all of the participants of this study in order to gather more details about the usability of the motion controllers used in this study. The results of this study has validated several existing frameworks for VR. And in conclusion, this study has also shown that both previous motion sickness experiences and gender factors weren’t significant in terms of general accessibility issues on PCVR platforms. There are hints showing that the VR technology on PC platform could be universal accessible, since both of the quantitative and qualitative results has provided some evidences supporting this finding. However, more similar studies need to be carried out in order to identify more possible factors that would give an impact on user experiences in VR. The results of this study has also given implications of that today’s VR technology is developing on the right track and it could slowly become adopted by the mainstream and mass-market in the future.

Abstract:
Detta arbete ämnar undersöka kunders beslutsprocess när de i en virtuell verklighet (ofta används förkortningen av det engelska begreppet virtual reality, VR) tar del av ett företags produkter. Först de senaste åren har tekniken blivit så pass bra att gemene man kan ta del av den. Virtuell verklighet är alltså förhållandevis nytt inom sammanhang som riktar sig till den stora massan. Därför är det av stort intresse att undersöka hur ett företag kan använda sig av en sådan applikation för att förmedla sina produkter och hur applikationen då kan utformas för att underlätta beslutsprocessen. I arbetet undersöktes vilka faktorer som påverkade denna beslutsprocess genom att se på kundernas interaktion med den virtuella miljön ur ett lärandeperspektiv. För att göra detta undersöktes i arbetet ett fall där köksrenoveringsföretaget Modexa ville förmedla sina produkter i en VR-applikation till sina kunder. Inom det övergripande arbetssättet aktionsforskning användes i arbetet metoder som fokusgrupper, ljudinspelning och semi-strukturerade intervjuer för att samla in datan som behövs. En styrgrupp och en testgrupp bestående av anställda på Modexa användes i datainsamlingen. Under tre iterationer samlades data in som kontinuerligt förändrade prototypen av VR-applikationen som deltagarna fick uppleva. I stort resulterade arbetet i att mer forskning behövs inom området. Den hårdvara som valdes till denna undersökning innebar vissa begränsningar som möjligtvis hade kunnat förhindrats med annan val av hårdvara. De kompromisser som begränsningen av hårdvaran medförde diskuteras samt framtida tillämpningsområden av forskningen som bedrivits.
This work aims to investigate customers’ decision-making in a virtual reality application where customers can evaluate a company’s products. In recent years VR-technology has come so far that ordinary people can experience it. Thus, virtual reality is relatively new in a context targeting the masses. It is therefore of great interest to investigate how a company can use such an application to communicate their products and how the application can be designed to facilitate the decision-making. This work examined the factors that influenced costumers’ decision-making by looking at the customer’s interaction with the virtual environment from a learning perspective. To do this, a case-study was examined where the kitchen refurbishment company Modexa wanted to convey their products in a VR-application to their customers. Within the overall approach of action research, methods were used for data gathering such as focus groups, audio recording and semi-structured interviews. A steering group and a test group of Modexa-employees were used in the collection of data. In three iterations data was collected to continuously change the VR-application prototype that was tested on the participants. A result of this work was that more studies are needed in this area. The hardware that was used resulted in some limitations that could have been avoided by using another hardware. The compromises that must be made cause of these limitations are discussed as well as future applications based on this research.

Most people have probably heard of the term Virtual Reality (VR). The computer techniqueVirtual Reality is used to present a virtual world to a user but differentiates itself from othermedia platforms with its’ higher level of immersion. The Virtual Reality movement is startingto expand from the field it has gained the most recognition from, the gaming industry. Newinnovations within Virtual Reality shows the possibilities to explore fields such as healthcare. The results from this have shown great potential and some area of use have even toppedmore traditional medical treatments such as cases of pain relief. The design process of thisstudy have explored this relatively new way of using the VR. The goal has been to investigatehow to design Virtual Reality for a vulnerable target group regarding their health. Preschoolteachers is one of the top occupational groups in the country that produces the most cases ofsick absence. The cause of this derives from mental health issues brought by poor workenvironments. This context is what I chose to investigate in my study.The following text covers my exploration of the field doing research and then using theextracted data together with different theories in psychology and Virtual Reality design tocome up with a design solution to fit my purpose.Keywords: Design, Virtual Reality, Interaction, Preschool, Stress, Restoration

Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to investigate Virtual Reality as a visualization tool for communicating light and lighting design in projects. In the study, we sought to answer whether there are differences in light and spatial experience between a VR model and a physical environment. The VR model was created on the basis of visual evaluations of a physical environment and was therefore not based on light technical parameters (illuminance, luminance etc.). The data was collected by conducting an experiment where 35 subjects were put in two groups, an experiment group (n=30) and a control group (n=5). The subjects gave numerical input through a leader-led questionnaire about their experience of light and spatial dimensions in the VR model and the physical environment. The results showed that there was no significant statistical difference between how the experiment group experienced the light in the VR model compared to the physical environment. The experiment group also considered that the spatial dimensions in the two environments were equal except for a minor deviation concerning how high/low they experienced the room. In the results, a difference can be seen in how test subject with and without knowledge of light evaluated the environments which suggests that there may be a deficiency in how design is communicated between people with knowledge of light and people without knowledge of light. Following these findings, the presenting method of visualizing light in VR seems very promising and should be seen as a basis for further practical use of the tool.

Abstract:
AbstractInformative and realistic haptic feedback significantly enhances virtual reality (VR) manipulation. In particular, vibrotactile feedback (VF) can deliver diverse haptic sensations while remaining relatively simple. This has made it a go-to solution for haptics within hand-held controllers and tangible props for VR. However, VF in hand-helds has solely focused on monolithic vibration of the entire hand-held device. Thus, it is not clear to what extent such hand-held devices could support the delivery of spatialized information within the hand. In this paper, we consider a tangible cylindrical handle that allows interaction with virtual objects extending beyond it. This handle is fitted with a pair of vibrotactile actuators with the objective of providing in-hand spatialized cues indicating direction and distance of impacts. We evaluated its capability for rendering spatialized impacts with external virtual objects. Results show that it performs very well for conveying an impact’s direction and moderately well for conveying an impact’s distance to the user.

Abstract:
AbstractParkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects primarily motor system. Physical exercise is considered important for people with Parkinson’s disease (PD) to slow down disease progression and maintain abilities and quality of life. However, people with PD often experience barriers to exercises that causes low-level adherence to exercise plans and programs. Virtual Reality (VR) is an innovative and promising technology for motor and cognitive rehabilitation. Immersive VR exergames have potential advantages by allowing for individualized skill practice in a motivating interactive environment without distractions from outside events. This paper presents an immersive virtual reality (VR) exergame aiming at motor training on fingers and hand-and-eye coordination. The results from the usability study indicate that immersive VR exergames have potential to provide motivating and engaging physical exercise for people with PD. Through this research, we hope to contribute to evidence-based design principles for task-specific immersive VR exergames for patients with Parkinson’s Disease.

Abstract:
AbstractWhen we perform a goal-directed movement, tactile sensitivity on the moving limb is reduced compared to during rest. This well established finding of movement-related tactile suppression is often investigated with psychophysical paradigms, using custom haptic actuators and highly constrained movement tasks. However, studying more naturalistic movement scenarios is becoming more accessible due to increased availability of affordable, off-the-shelf virtual reality (VR) hardware. Here, we present a first evaluation of consumer VR controllers (HTC Vive and Valve Index) for psychophysical testing using the built-in vibrotactile actuators. We show that participants’ tactile perceptual thresholds can generally be estimated through manipulation of controller vibration amplitude and frequency. When participants performed a goal-directed movement using the controller, vibrotactile perceptual thresholds increased compared to rest, in agreement with previous work and confirming the suitability of unmodified VR controllers for tactile suppression research. Our findings will facilitate investigations of tactile perception in dynamic virtual scenarios.

Abstract:
One of the first senses we learn about at birth is touch, and the one sense that can deepen our experience of many situations is touch. In this paper we propose the use of emotions including touch within virtual reality (VR) to create a simulated closeness that currently can only be achieved with in-person interactions and communications. With the simulation of nonverbal cues, we can enhance a conversation or interaction in VR. Using haptic devices to deliver the simulation of touch between users via sensors and machine learning for emotion recognition based on data collected; all working towards simulated closeness in communication despite distance or being in VR. We present a direction for further research on how to simulate inperson communication within VR with the use of emotion recognition and touch to achieve a close-to-real interaction.

Abstract:
The Army’s modernization priorities include the development of augmented reality and virtual reality (AR/VR) simulations for enabling the regiment and increasing soldier readiness. The use of AR/VR technology at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) is also growing in the realm of military and civil works program missions. The ERDC Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory (CHL) has developed a ship simulator to evaluate bay channels across the world; however, the current simulator has little to no physical realism in nearshore coastal regions (Figure 1). Thus, the ERDC team is researching opportunities to advance ship simulation to deliver the Ship Simulator of the Future (SSoF). The SSoF will be equipped with a VR mode and will more accurately resolve nearshore wave phenomena by ingesting precalculated output from a Boussinesq-type wave model. This initial prototype of the SSoF application is intended for research and development purposes; however, the technologies employed will be applicable to other disciplines and project scopes, including the Synthetic Training Environment (STE) and ship and coastal structure design in future versions.

Abstract:
The paper deals with the urgent problem of application of virtual reality in foreign language training. Statistical data confirms that the number of smartphone users, Internet users, including wireless Internet users, has been increasing for recent years in Ukraine and tends to grow. The coherence of quick mobile Internet access and presence of supplementary equipment enables to get trained or to self-dependently advance due to usage of virtual reality possibilities for education in the stationary classrooms, at home and in motion. Several important features of virtual reality, its advantages for education are discussed. It is noted that virtual reality is remaining a relatively new technology in language learning. Benefits from virtual reality implementation into foreign language learning and teaching are given. The aspects of immersion and gamification in foreign language learning are considered. It is emphasized that virtual reality creates necessary preconditions for motivation increasing. The results of the survey at two higher education institution as to personal experience in using VR applications for learning foreign languages are presented. Most students at both universities have indicated quite a low virtual reality application usage. Six popular virtual reality applications for foreign language learning (Mondly, VRSpeech, VR Learn English, Gold Lotus, AltSpaceVR and VirtualSpeech) are analyzed. It is stated that the most preferred VR application for foreign language learning includes detailed virtual environment for maximal immersion, high- level visual effects similar to video games, simple avatar control, thorough material selection and complete complicity level accordance of every element and aspect, affordability, helpful and unobtrusive following up.

New effective aid for teaching technology subjects: 3D spherical panoramas joined with virtual reality. [б. в.], November 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.31812/123456789/4407.

Full text
Abstract:
Rapid development of modern technology and its increasing complexity make high demands to the quality of training of its users. Among others, an important class is vehicles, both civil and military. In the teaching of associated subjects, the accepted hierarchy of teaching aids includes common visual aids (posters, videos, scale models etc.) on the first stage, followed by simulators ranging in complexity, and finished at real vehicles. It allows achieving some balance between cost and efficiency by partial replacement of more expensive and elaborated aids with the less expensive ones. However, the analysis of teaching experience in the Military Institute of Armored Forces of National Technical University “Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute” (Institute) reveals that the balance is still suboptimal, and the present teaching aids are still not enough to allow efficient teaching. This fact raises the problem of extending the range of available teaching aids for vehicle-related subjects, which is the aim of the work. Benefiting from the modern information and visualization technologies, we present a new teaching aid that constitutes a spherical (360° or 3D) photographic panorama and a Virtual Reality (VR) device. The nature of the aid, its potential applications, limitations and benefits in comparison to the common aids are discussed. The proposed aid is shown to be cost-effective and is proved to increase efficiency of training, according to the results of a teaching experiment that was carried out in the Institute. For the implementation, a tight collaboration between the Institute and an IT company “Innovative Distance Learning Systems Limited” was established. A series of panoramas, which are already available, and its planned expansions are presented. The authors conclude that the proposed aid may significantly improve the cost-efficiency balance of teaching a range of technology subjects.

Abstract:
Training and professional development of nuclear power plant personnel are essential components of the atomic energy industry’s successful performance. The rapid growth of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies allowed to expand their scope and caused the need for various studies and experiments in terms of their application and effectiveness. Therefore, this publication studies the peculiarities of the application of VR and AR technologies for the training and professional development of personnel of nuclear power plants. The research and experiments on various aspects of VR and AR applications for specialists’ training in multiple fields have recently started. The analysis of international experience regarding the technologies application has shown that powerful companies and large companies have long used VR and AR in the industries they function. The paper analyzes the examples and trends of the application of VR technologies for nuclear power plants. It is determined that VR and AR’s economic efficiency for atomic power plants is achieved by eliminating design errors before starting the construction phase; reducing the cost and time expenditures for staff travel and staff training; increasing industrial safety, and increasing management efficiency. VR and AR technologies for nuclear power plants are successfully used in the following areas: modeling various atomic energy processes; construction of nuclear power plants; staff training and development; operation, repair, and maintenance of nuclear power plant equipment; presentation of activities and equipment. Peculiarities of application of VR and AR technologies for training of future specialists and advanced training of nuclear power plant personnel are analyzed. Staff training and professional development using VR and AR technologies take place in close to real-world conditions that are safe for participants and equipment. Applying VR and AR at nuclear power plants can increase efficiency: to work out the order of actions in the emergency mode; to optimize the temporary cost of urgent repairs; to test of dismantling/installation of elements of the equipment; to identify weaknesses in the work of individual pieces of equipment and the working complex as a whole. The trends in the application of VR and AR technologies for the popularization of professions in nuclear energy among children and youth are outlined. Due to VR and AR technologies, the issues of “nuclear energy safety” have gained new importance both for the personnel of nuclear power plants and for the training of future specialists in the energy sector. Using VR and AR to acquaint children and young people with atomic energy in a playful way, it becomes possible to inform about the peculiarities of the nuclear industry’s functioning and increase industry professions’ prestige.

Abstract:
Based on literature review it was established that the use of augmented reality as an innovative technology of student training occurs in following directions: 3D image rendering; recognition and marking of real objects; interaction of a virtual object with a person in real time. The main advantages of using AR and VR in the educational process are highlighted: clarity, ability to simulate processes and phenomena, integration of educational disciplines, building an open education system, increasing motivation for learning, etc. It has been found that in the field of physical process modelling the Proteus Physics Laboratory is a popular example of augmented reality. Using the Proteus environment allows to visualize the functioning of the functional nodes of the computing system at the micro level. This is especially important for programming systems with limited resources, such as microcontrollers in the process of training future IT professionals. Experiment took place at Borys Grinchenko Kyiv University and Sumy State Pedagogical University named after A. S. Makarenko with students majoring in Computer Science (field of knowledge is Secondary Education (Informatics)). It was found that computer modelling has a positive effect on mastering the basics of microelectronics. The ways of further scientific researches for grounding, development and experimental verification of forms, methods and augmented reality, and can be used in the professional training of future IT specialists are outlined in the article.

Abstract:
The article is devoted to actual problem of using modern ICT tools to increase the level of efficiency of the educational process. The current state and relevance of the use of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies as an appropriate means of improving the educational process are considered. In particular, attention is paid to the potential of the combined capabilities of AR and VR technologies with adaptive learning systems. Insufficient elaboration of cross-use opportunities for achieving of efficiency of the educational process in state-of-the-art research has been identified. Based on analysis of latest publications and experience of using of augmented and virtual reality technologies, as well as the concept of adaptive learning, conceptual model of learning based on the combined capabilities of AR and VR technologies with adaptive learning systems has been designed. The use of VR and AR technologies as a special information environment is justified, which is applied in accordance with the identified dominant type of students' thinking. The prospects of using the proposed model in training process at educational institutions for the implementation and support of new teaching and learning strategies, as well as improving learning outcomes are determined by the example of such courses as “Algorithms and data structures”, “Computer graphics and three-dimensional modeling”, “Circuit Engineering”, “Computer Architecture”.
