Enhancing Our Lives with Immersive Virtual Reality

Immersive Data Visualization with Virtual Reality

There has been a resurgence of interest in Virtual Reality (VR) with the advent of several consumer-ready head mounted displays. And while VR has a long standing tradition in graphics literature traceable to the early 90’s, little research has been conducted on the implications of modern VR and 3D displays on Data Visualization. In this work we explore how to create immersive 3D data visualizat...

High Fidelity Immersive Virtual Reality

Virtual reality is now used as an aid to teaching and practice in a wide range of fields. In education, surgery, architecture and many other disciplines, virtual reality provides a tool that allows users to experience situations that could not be readily reproduced in the real world. As virtual reality technology becomes more pervasive, there will be a rising demand for improvements in the qual...

Enhancing the Collaborative Learning by using Immersive Virtual Reality

High performance Virtual Reality (VR) technology such as immersive projection technology (IPT) systems can provide an ideal platform that immerses students within the virtual world. Using such a system with educational applications that have been developed to contain an element of fun, would result in a powerful learning tool that students would enjoy using. Through the interconnection of multi...

Sensorimotor Learning during a Marksmanship Task in Immersive Virtual Reality

Sensorimotor learning refers to improvements that occur through practice in the performance of sensory-guided motor behaviors. Leveraging novel technical capabilities of an immersive virtual environment, we probed the component kinematic processes that mediate sensorimotor learning. Twenty naïve subjects performed a simulated marksmanship task modeled after Olympic Trap Shooting standards. We m...
