Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurring seizures that can cause a wide range of symptoms. Stereo-electroencephalography (SEEG) is a diagnostic procedure where multiple electrodes are stereotactically implanted within ...

The feeling of being in control of the actions of a self-avatar (sense of agency) is a crucial factor of VR embodiment, but the exact role of avatar appearance in this context is not clear yet. Current research on sense of agency in the field of ...

Virtual Reality (VR) training systems are gaining popularity for psychological and skills training. Shy college students may perform poorly in interviews due to a fear of being evaluated, anxiety about real interview scenarios, and a lack of ...

This study aimed to examine the psychophysiological restoration effects of experiencing a virtual natural environment by investigating the factors influencing soundscape perception in audiovisual elements and proposing a restoration model based on ...

One of the most notable aspects of using a head mounted display is the feeling of being ‘within’ the digitally created virtual world. Technological advances across the fields of computer science and engineering have helped to increase this sense ...

Virtual reality (VR) is a multibillionaire market that keeps growing, year after year. As VR is becoming prevalent in households and small businesses, it is critical to address the effects that this technology might have on the privacy and ...

Nighttime activities have significantly increased in cities, underscoring the growing importance of nocturnal lighting in fostering emotional stability and comfort of people. This study utilized simulated virtual reality (SVR) technologies to ...

Diminished reality (DR) is a set of techniques for visually removing unwanted objects within an environment in real time. This study attempts to carry out a systematic literature review to investigate the potential benefits, challenges, and ...

As space agencies prepare for long-duration missions, such as establishing a permanent moon base, maintaining astronauts’ physical and mental health becomes crucial. Exercise is known to counteract the adverse effects of space travel, and virtual ...

Asymmetric collaboration is an important topic for the research of multiuser collaborative systems. Previous works have shown that by providing different abilities, devices or content to different users, users can take advantage of the unique ...

Against the backdrop of a worldwide decline in students’ mastery of theoretical knowledge in mathematics and other fundamental sciences, the present study explores how China has attempted to facilitate university students’ learning of theoretical ...

Emotions influence the way people react in different contexts. Virtual reality (VR) makes it possible to generate environments that can resemble a real experience. These concepts were taken as the basis of the review, focusing on the use of VR on ...

This study aimed to examine the initial efficacy of a virtual reality (VR) exergame for blood pressure (BP), body composition, lung function, physical working capacity, and mobility in older hypertensive adults. Furthermore, the objective was to ...

Pusher syndrome is a disorder of postural control after stroke. Patients show a mismatch in their perception of (almost preserved) visual and (pathologically tilted) postural verticality. In order to reduce this mismatch, we developed a novel head-...

One of the major obstacles to the widespread adoption of Virtual Reality (VR) is Cybersickness. It is a sense of physical discomfort akin to motion sickness experienced by the users either during or subsequent to VR utilization. Typically, it is ...

Recognizing the limitations of traditional therapy can be tedious and demotivating, we explore VR’s dynamic and immersive environment to potentially improve patient engagement and motivation. This approach promises accelerated recovery by ...

Recent innovations in virtual and mixed-reality (VR/MR) technologies have enabled innovative hands-on training applications in high-risk/high-value fields such as medicine, flight, and worker-safety. Here, we present a detailed description of a ...

Cybersickness (CS) is a pressing issue in virtual reality (VR) systems. While various mitigation methods (MMs) have been developed to counteract CS, their effects on human behavior remain largely unexplored, raising concerns about their potential ...
