This paper studies the application of virtual simulation technology in coal mine, and proposes threedimensional virtual simulation training system for coal mines. This system mainly includes “finger oral” and reduction of accident cases. This paper describes the characteristics and development process of three-dimensional virtual simulation training system which can achieve three-dimensional vi...

Virtual reality is becoming one of the seamless technology which can be used to treat several psychological problems such as anxiety disorders. With the advancement of technology virtual reality is becoming available to ordinary practitioners to carry out non-clinical therapies. An effective virtual reality system provides the user with total immersion and becomes a part of the virtual world. T...

This essay, written in 1998 by an active participant in both virtual reality development and the virtual reality definition debate, discusses the definition of the phrase “Virtual Reality” (VR). I start with history from a personal perspective, concentrating on the debate between the “Virtual Reality” and “Virtual Environment” labels in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s. Definitions of VR based ...

The cloud computing technology is developed rapidly in recent years, in which the remote software is delivered as a service and accessed by users using a thin client over the Internet. In order to share the software resources, virtualization technology plays an important role in the cloud computing environment. In this paper our main goal is to provide the basic knowledge about the virtualizati...

The realization of virtual reality technology is useful in distributed practical teaching because its advantages such as illustrated, no limit by space and time, high intelligence, good ability of interactivity and etc. The practical teaching virtual reality technology is based on static images and IP network of computers. Recording the course of video, frequency, operation process of practical...

—Virtual Human Character movement is very essential on virtual reality game in order to perform natural or emotional movement. Basically, numerous researchers focusing on movements from input such as: joystick, mouse, and keyboard. The other movement's concepts come from artificial intelligence as a part of improving interactivity. This paper intends to offer different method of controlling the...

Wireless enabled cyber physical systems and applications, highly interactive multimedia modules, and virtual organization tools and capabilities provide attractive avenues for boosting interest and improving teaching effectiveness of STEM courses in schools. In this paper we describe the Research Experience for Teachers (RET)–Hawaii program and present features of some of the developed multimed...

Games and virtual worlds have many potential benefits for people with intellectual disabilities (ID) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD), in terms of training, education, and rehabilitation. However, because this population presents a wide range of specific needs and abilities, it can be difficult to design games which are engaging and present optimum levels of challenge to players. By including...

This paper presents a human-scale multi-modal virtual environment. User interacts with virtual worlds using a large-scale bimanual haptic interface called the SPIDAR-H. This interface is used to track user’s hands movements and to display various aspects of force feedback associated mainly with contact, weight, and inertia. In order to increase the accuracy of the system, a calibration method i...
