This paper presents an experiment using physiological monitoring of heart rate and galvanic skin response to investigate the effects of a fully tracked human avatar representation on presence in immersive virtual environments (IVEs). The experiments will compare participants’ physiological reactions in a high fidelity virtual replica of the room occupied and their reactions to a stressful model...

This paper describes a virtual class, which is based on the principles of ITS (Intelligent Tutoring Systems). The virtual class allows to a group of learners to participate into training sessions of an adapted teleteaching system (adapted virtual class), this system takes into account progression rhythm different into a community of remote learners. The virtual class allows adapting the teachin...

This study investigates how 3D virtual worlds (3DVWs) support team collaboration. Based on Media Synchronicity Theory, we pose that the shared environment and avatar-based interaction allowed by 3DVWs aid convergence processes in teams working on a decision making task, leading to increased shared understanding between team members. This increases performance of decision making teams. An experi...
