In this paper we review the limitations of existing theories in explaining cybersickness and propose a practical alternative approach. We start by providing a clear operational definition of provocative motion stimulation during active HMD VR. In this situation, whenever the user makes a head movement, his/her virtual head will tend to trail its true position and orientation due to the display lag (or motion to photon latency). Importantly, these differences in virtual and physical head pose (DVP) will vary over time.

Pavelka, jr.1, B. Michalík 2 1 Czech Technical University in Prague, Faculty of Civil Engineering, dept. of Geomatics, Thakurova 7, Prague 6,16629 [email protected] 2 G4D s.r.o., Prague, Czech Republic, Hauptova 594 156 00 Praha 5-Zbraslav, Czech Republic, [email protected] KEY WORDS: Virtual reality, photogrammetry, laser scanning, BIM, documentation ABSTRACT: Virtual Reality (VR) is a highly topical subject in many branches of science and industry. Thanks to the rapid development and advancement of computer technology in recent years, it can now be used to a large extent, with more detail to show and is now more affordable than before. The use of virtual reality is currently devoted to many disciplines and it can be expected that its popularity will grow progressively over the next few years. The Laboratory of Photogrammetry at the Czech Technical University in Prague is also interested in VR and focuses mainly on documentation and visualization of historical buildings and objects. Our opinion is that in the field of virtual reality there is great potential and extensive possibilities. 3D models of historical objects, primarily created by photogrammetric IBRM technology (image based modelling and rendering) or by laser scanning, gain a completely different perspective in VR. In general, most of the newly designed buildings are now being implemented into BIM.

OTSS supports self-made XR styluses based on consumer-grade six-degrees-of-freedom XR controllers and commercially available styluses. The framework provides separate modules for three basic but vital features: 1) The stylus module provides stylus construction and calibration features. 2) The surface module provides surface calibration and visual feedback features for virtual-physical 2D surface alignment using our so-called 3ViSuAl procedure, and Edited by: surface interaction features. 3) The evaluation suite provides a comprehensive test bed Daniel Zielasko, combining technical measurements for precision, accuracy, and latency with extensive University of Trier, Germany usability evaluations including handwriting and sketching tasks based on established Reviewed by: visuomotor, graphomotor, and handwriting research.

My use of transcode, a term introduced by the semiotician A.J. Greimas and carried into the digital realm by Lev Manovich, refers to how cultural elements such as assumptions, biases, priorities emerge within programming code and software. It demonstrates how cultural norms persist across different mediums and posits that, in many ways, the capacity to be flexible defines cultural ideologies. At the software level, programming languages work like performative speech: grammar which produces effects. When cast as speech, coming from a body (or bodies) instead of hardware, information structures can be perceived as acting within regimes of corporeality; when cast as software, information structures demonstrate and advertise the capabilities of hardware. Although often aligned with veracity and stability in its proximity to (computer) science, software is not culturally neutral.

    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 23 November 2020 doi:10.20944/preprints202011.0585.v1 Article Remote Indoor Construction Progress Monitoring Using Extended Reality Ahmed Khairadeen Ali 1,2 , One Jae Lee 2, Doyeop Lee 1 and Chansik Park1,* 1 School of Architecture and Building Sciences, Chung-Ang University, Seoul 06974, Republic of Korea 2 Haenglim Architecture and Engineering Company, Republic of Korea; [email protected] * School of Architecture and Building Sciences, Chung-Ang University, Seoul 06974, Republic of Korea: [email protected] Abstract: Despite recent developments in monitoring and visualizing construction progress, the data exchange between construction jobsite and office lacks automation and real-time recording. To address this issue, a near real-time construction work inspection system called iVR is proposed; this system integrates 3D scanning, extended reality, and visual programming to visualize interactive onsite inspection for indoor activities and provide numeric data. iVR comprises five modules: iVR-location finder (finding laser scanner located in the construction site) iVR-scan (capture point cloud data of jobsite indoor activity), iVR-prepare (processes and convert 3D scan data into a 3D model), iVR-inspect (conduct immersive visual reality inspection in construction office), and iVR-feedback (visualize inspection feedback from jobsite using augmented reality). An experimental lab test is conducted to validate the applicability of iVR process; it successfully exchanges required information between construction jobsite and office in a specific time. This system is expected to assist Engineers and workers in quality assessment, progress assessments, and decision-making which can realize a productive and practical communication platform, unlike conventional monitoring or data capturing, processing, and storage methods, which involve storage, compatibility, and time-consumption issues.
