This paper presents a workflow-driven VR simulation system for esports event production, designed to enable interaction with core production subsystems, including lighting control, audio management, and broadcast monitoring, within a task-based virtu...
Fibromyalgia (FM) is associated with altered pain modulation and heterogeneous responses to exercise. Exercise-induced hypoalgesia (EIH), typically observed in healthy individuals, appears inconsistent in FM. Immersive virtual reality-based exercise...
This article reports an exploratory, small-cohort mixed-methods case study of how an e-learning platform and a virtual reality (VR) workshop simulator can be integrated into a traditional craft apprenticeship without displacing workshop-based learnin...
Over the past decade, serious games and virtual reality have gained increasing relevance in upper-limb rehabilitation, yet desktop virtual reality solutions often suffer from reduced spatial correspondence and limited sensory feedback. This work pres...
This systematic review critically analysed the differences, intersections, and trends toward convergence between Human Resource Management (HRM) and People Management (PM), highlighting the evolution of these approaches in organizational contexts mar...
Urban planning increasingly depends on methods capable of capturing citizen perspectives in forms that are both inclusive and analytically useful for decision-making. Conventional participation mechanisms, such as public meetings, paper questionnaire...
Despite the increasing adoption of metaverse technologies, particularly in educational contexts, the cognitive impacts of students designing their own immersive experiences remain underexplored. This study addresses that gap by providing empirical ba...
Gamification, defined as the application of game elements in non-gaming contexts, has emerged as a promising tool for enhancing student engagement in content-heavy curriculums such as anatomy and physiology. This preliminary study describes the devel...
In recent years, the generation and animation of avatars in virtual reality (VR) have undergone a definitive paradigm shift, transitioning from pre-rendered, manually rigged meshes to autonomous, AI-driven digital entities. While individual algorithm...
Extended reality (XR), encompassing augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and mixed reality (MR), is a key enabling technology for virtual worlds, and XR-related patents continue to grow rapidly. However, patent-based XR technology analysis f...
Extended Reality (XR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are increasingly converging within cyber–physical infrastructures, including digital twins, the Spatial Web, and smart-city systems. These environments require new frameworks for understand...
Distance learners in higher education are often assumed to face limited peer interaction, potentially weakening their sense of belonging. This study examines peer relationships and belonging among students in distance and blended university programs,...
Immersive virtual environments are increasingly investigated as tools capable of modulating conscious experience, yet the specific contribution of graded immersion to altered states of consciousness (ASC), time perception, and cognition remains uncle...
