Objective: Simulation training in medical settings is a cornerstone in medical education to practice technical and non-technical skills. The objective of this study was to evaluate user experiences and initial reactions to a multiplayer virtual reality (VR) simulation designed for anaesthesiologists. Methods: …

Immersieve technologieën beïnvloeden de manier waarop we muziek ervaren. Immersieve ervaringen dompelen luisteraars volledig onder in muziek, waardoor ze niet alleen horen, maar de muziek ook beleven. Het doel van het project 'De toekomst van immersieve ervaringen in muziek' is om de toekomstige mogelijkheden …

Extended Reality (XR) technologies—including virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR)—offer transformative opportunities for education by enabling immersive and interactive learning experiences. In this study, we employed a mixed-methods approach that combined systematic desk …

This paper sets out to find out what is needed to take an interactive application that aims to garner interest in local folklore from a prototype to a final product as a lead designer. To do this, first research is done into the role of a lead designer and the scope of the project is established. Then, …

This research investigates the integration of Mixed Reality (MR) and local multiplayer functionalities in training simulations to enhance realism and immersion, thereby improving learning outcomes for students. The study addresses three primary sub-questions: examining the effects of local multiplayer …

This document shows the research and development that has gone into making an immersive VR experience. It shows what it is like to live with depression and how the simplest tasks become a whole workout. The game takes place in a normal house, where the player wakes up from their sleep and must leave …

There has been limited adoption of Immersive Journalism (IJ) by the audience; simultaneously, the audience’s perspective is rarely considered in the production and research of IJ. At this point, however, it is crucial to incorporate an audience perspective to identify potentially unintended effects of …

Immersive journalism (IJ) is often assumed to be inherently emotion-inducing. Through using inclusive technology, interaction possibilities and immersive narratives, the audience should ideally experience what feels like to be in a certain situation. However, for the most part we do not know to which …

We extend a standard for doing agile scrum teamwork in education that permits individual assessment within teams (IAFOR ECE2020). Since the teacher's bandwidth in education is limited and increasingly under pressure, we focus on course design options that can be used to leverage the bandwidth. One economizing …

In immersive technology, digital (virtual) elements are added to the physical world. Immersion is the perception of being physically present in a non-physical world,or experiencing the physical presence of a non-physical element (like in Pokémon Go). Except that the first (fatal) accidents as a result …
