They keep getting better, though they still aren’t totally "there" yet. The challenge is to bridge the gap between their promise and actual use in workplaces to drive learning and performance. The good news is that in the past three years we have made major jumps forward.

    Base game Manual V0.4 Environment Remove any objects in the playing area that you might touch or hit while playing with your body. Please also make sure that lamps or fans are not in the playing area. If you are at the edge of the playing area, do not make any big movements, otherwise you could touch the walls with your body or hands/controllers. It is best to stand. Step movements are not necessary during the game. You can move and rotate completely with the controllers. Technical requirements To play the game, you need Virtual Reality headset (VR headset). Without VR glasses, the game will not run. A (free) Steam account is also required. Also installed must be the VR software "SteamVR" (when using HTC VIVE or the Valve Index) or the additional software "Windows Mixed Reality for SteamVR" for the use of Windows Mixed Reality glasses on Steam with "SteamVR". Before the first launch, a room measuring should also have been done in SteamVR (when using the HTC VIVE or the Valve Index). When using Windows Mixed Reality glasses, there is an option to change the position of the floor from the height. The controllers of the VR headset should also be connected to the VR system and be charged. The game Container You start the game in the container and go to the selected construction site through the door. Later, you can start different locations here depending on the existing DLC. You can now set options to one of the boards by moving the switch accordingly.

  • Samsung Announces New Windows-Based Virtual-Reality Headset at Microsoft Event 4 October 2017, by Matt Day, the Seattle Times
    Samsung announces new Windows-based virtual-reality headset at Microsoft event 4 October 2017, by Matt Day, The Seattle Times Samsung is joining Microsoft's virtual reality push, Microsoft also said that it had acquired AltspaceVR, announcing an immersive headset that pairs with a California virtual reality software startup that was Windows computers. building social and communications tools until it ran into funding problems earlier this year. The Korean electronics giant unveiled its Samsung HMD Odyssey at a Microsoft event in San ©2017 The Seattle Times Francisco recently. It will sell for $499. Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC. The device joins Windows-based immersive headsets built by Lenovo, HP, Acer and Dell, and aimed for release later this year. Microsoft is among the companies seeking a slice of the emerging market for modern head-mounted devices. High-end headsets, like Facebook-owned Oculus's Rift and the HTC Vive, require powerful Windows PCs to run. Others, including the Samsung Gear VR and Google's Daydream, are aimed at the wider audience of people who use smartphones. Microsoft's vision, for now, is tied to the PC, and specifically new features in the Windows operating system designed to make it easier to build and display immersive environments. The company also has its own hardware, but that hasn't been on display recently. Microsoft's HoloLens was a trailblazer when it was unveiled in 2015. The headset, whose visor shows computer-generated images projected onto objects in the wearer's environment without obscuring the view of the real world completely, was subsequently offered for sale to developers and businesses.

    sphera.ucam.edu ISSNe: 2695-5725 ● Número 19 ● Vol.II ● Año 2019 ● pp. 36-58 Hyperreality and virtual worlds: when the virtual is real Paulo M. Barroso, Polytechnic Institute of Viseu (Portugal) [email protected] Received: 12/11/19 ● Accepted: 10/12/19 ● Published: 19/12/19 How to reference this paper: Barroso, Paulo M. (2019). Hyperreality and virtual worlds: when the virtual is real, Sphera Publica, 2(19), 36‐58. Abstract This article questions what is hyperreality and underlines the role of the signs/images fostering the perception of a virtual world. It argues the potentiality of signs as artefacts. Starting from Agamben’s perspective regarding contemporary, the hyperreality is understood as a modern, visual and mass manifestation of the need for simulacra in a non-referential virtual world. How hyperreality, spectacle, simulation, and appearance emerge out of reality? What is authentic or real are issues raised using images and technological devices. The images are popular and amplify the effects of distraction and social alienation. The image is immediately absorbed, spectacular, attractive, a peculiar ready-to-think that eliminates or dilutes the concepts and produces a fast culture. Through a reflexive strategy, this article is conceptual (it has no case study or empirical work) and has the purpose of problematize the experience of hyperreality, which is reshaping and restructuring patterns of social life and social interdependence, and the ways we see, think, feel, act or just mean and interpret the reality. Keywords Hyperreality, image, real, virtual worlds, technology Barroso Hiperrealidad y mundos virtuales Hiperrealidad y mundos virtuales: cuando lo virtual es real Paulo M.

It has been shown that teletherapy, defined as therapy delivered remotely with the use of a phone or computer system, may be a viable option to replace in-person therapy in situations where in-person therapy is not possible. Sponsored by the User Experience and Decision Making (UXDM) lab at WPI, this IQP is part of a larger project to address the need for mental health therapy in situations where patients do not have access to traditional in-person care.

    Immersive virtual reality methods in cognitive neuroscience and neuropsychology: Meeting the criteria of the National Academy of Neuropsychology and American Academy of Clinical Neuropsychology Panagiotis Kourtesisa,b,c,d* and Sarah E. MacPhersone,f aNational Research Institute of Computer Science and Automation, INRIA, Rennes, France; bUniv Rennes, Rennes, France; cResearch Institute of Computer Science and Random Systems, IRISA, Rennes, France; dFrench National Centre for Scientific Research, CNRS, Rennes, France. eHuman Cognitive Neuroscience, Department of Psychology, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, UK; fDepartment of Psychology, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, UK; * Panagiotis Kourtesis, National Research Institute of Computer Science and Automation, INRIA, Rennes, France. Email: [email protected] Abstract Clinical tools involving immersive virtual reality (VR) may bring several advantages to cognitive neuroscience and neuropsychology. However, there are some technical and methodological pitfalls. The American Academy of Clinical Neuropsychology (AACN) and the National Academy of Neuropsychology (NAN) raised 8 key issues pertaining to Computerized Neuropsychological Assessment Devices. These issues pertain to: (1) the safety and effectivity; (2) the identity of the end-user; (3) the technical hardware and software features; (4) privacy and data security; (5) the psychometric properties; (6) examinee issues; (7) the use of reporting services; and (8) the reliability of the responses and results. The VR Everyday Assessment Lab (VR-EAL) is the first immersive VR neuropsychological battery with enhanced ecological validity for the assessment of everyday cognitive functions by offering a pleasant testing experience without inducing cybersickness. The VR-EAL meets the criteria of the NAN and AACN, addresses the methodological pitfalls, and brings advantages for neuropsychological testing.
