xReality interactions within an immersive blended reality learning space

چکیده
Multi-user virtual environments (MUVEs), used in training, entertainment and education, had been a reality for several years now, allowing users to perform collaborative activities using virtual settings and virtual objects. Nowadays, technological advances are opening the possibility of integrating multiuser virtual environments with so-called ubiquitous virtual reality (U-VR); extending and complementing real and virtual worlds in a blended reality space. In this work-in-progress paper we describe our efforts towards the implementation of a blended reality distributed system, to achieve integration between real and virtual objects, using smart objects (xReality objects) and immersive technology in a mixed reality learning environment, extending our previous work towards the creation of a holistic option to enable geographically dispersed learners to collaborate on laboratory activities.

متن کاملThe SAMAL Model for Affective Learning: A multidimensional model incorporating the body, mind and emotion in learning
In this study we propose a new model for affective learning, SAMAL Model (Smart Ambience for Affective Learning Model) which illustrates the interplay between the body, mind and emotion in learning. This model is based upon experiential theories and the use of the body moving within the virtual reality space. The SAMAL project investigates the application of immersive interactive media and virt...
