MITIGATING DESIGN FIXATION WITH EVOLVING EXTENDED REALITY TECHNOLOGY: AN EMERGING OPPORTUNITY

Virtual Reality: An Emerging Technology for Learning

Better educational media that assist in learning have been constantly sought by researchers in the educational technology domain to enhance the outcomes of education. Virtual Reality (VR) has been identified as one of them. Proponents of VR believe that it is an excellent educational tool, which could help to improve performance and conceptual understanding on a specific range of tasks. Nonethe...

Predatory prokaryotes: an emerging research opportunity.

Predatory prokaryotes have evolved a unique strategy of obtaining energy and biosynthetic materials from their surroundings: acquiring them from other living bacterial cells. These types of microbes have been found in a diverse variety of environments, and may play an important role in modulating microbial population structure and dynamics, as has been hypothesized for marine viruses and possib...

Web-based Multiuser Interior Design with Virtual Reality Technology

A Web-based interior design application system, named Multiuser Interior Design (MID), is presented. Technologies from virtual reality (VR), the Web, and database are used to implement MID. It allows users to operate in the VR fashion, interacting with 3D virtual objects and spaces through a Web browser. Users can view and elaborate designs, examine furniture, and even place purchase orders of ...

Real Virtuality: emerging technology for virtually recreating reality

He has published over 180 papers in journals and international conferences on high-fidelity graphics, multi-sensory perception, virtual archaeology and parallel rendering. He is Honorary President of Afrigraph and a former Vice President of ACM SIGGRAPH. His research goal is 'RealVirtuality', obtaining physically-based, multi-sensory, virtual environments at interactive rates through a combinat...
