Acrophobia is a scientific term used to describe the fear of height. To some, this fear is tolerable, but to other, the fear could pose danger to their life if the fear is starting to interfere with their day to day activities. The conventional treatment for acrophobia is usually done
Examining factors of walking disutility for microscopic pedestrian model A virtual reality approach
free download
Understanding mechanisms of microscopic pedestrian behaviour is important for pedestrian simulation, which is a useful tool for the design of pedestrian infrastructure. Interest in understanding pedestrian walking behaviour is also increasing in the mechanical
Immersed in software structures: A virtual reality approach
free download
Program code has been inherently challenging to visualize due to its abstract nature. With the advent of affordable virtual reality (VR) hardware products, the use of VR has become a feasible option for software tools. In this paper, we describe a VR approach for visualizing
Virtual reality in education: A theoretical approach for road safety training to students
free download
English The unsystematic way Road Safety is taught in Greeces primary schools led us to reassess the teaching framework of the subject, examining ways in which Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) might provide solutions that are more efficient. Among the various technologies
Integrating Knowledge from Virtual Reality Environments to Learning Scenario Models-A Meta-modeling Approach .
free download
This paper focuses on learning scenario modeling for Virtual Reality Learning Environments (VRLE). Learning scenario models used in computer-supported learning environments are usually not able to describe educational activities implying interaction of learners with a
Pragmatic approach to apply virtual reality technology in accelerating a product life cycle
