The Perception of Organizational Prestige and Employee Engagement

Perception and cognition in immersive Virtual Reality

In the next future, 3D-CAD methods will be extensively employed in conjunction with 3D immersive displays, so called Virtual Environments (VE). These may dramatically improve the possibilities of visualization and interaction offered by common 2D display CAD workstations. Thus, ergonomic evaluation needs to be made as to how the computer-generated object is represented on 3D immersive display (...

Communication Applications of Virtual Reality

Virtual reality's (VR) final destination may well be as a multipurpose communication medium -a combination of the television and telephone wrapped delicately around the senses.
