Immersive Virtual Reality and Virtual Embodiment for Pain Relief [PDF]

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2019
A significant body of experimental evidence has demonstrated that it is possible to induce the illusion of ownership of a fake limb or even an entire fake body using multisensory correlations.

Walking in an immersive virtual reality [PDF]

Gait & Posture, 2009
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects on gait induced by a completely immersive Virtual Reality (VR) with and without perturbation. Ten healthy subjects were analyzed during over-ground walking in different conditions: standard gait, VR gait and perturbed VR gait.

Immersive Virtual Reality for Earth Sciences [PDF]

Annals of Computer Science and Information Systems, 2018
This paper presents a novel immersive Virtual Reality platform, named ARGO3D, tailored for improving research and teaching activities in Earth Sciences. The platform facilitates the exploration of geological environments and the assessment of geo-hazards, allowing reaching key sites of interest (some of them impossible to be reached in person) and thus

Transcending the Self in Immersive Virtual Reality [PDF]

Computer, 2014
Cognitive neuroscientists have discovered various experimental setups that suggest that our body representation is surprisingly flexible, where the brain can easily be tricked into the illusion that a rubber hand is your hand or that a manikin body is your body. These multisensory illusions work well in immersive virtual reality (IVR).

Experiencing immersive virtual reality in museums

Information & Management, 2020
Abstract Virtual Reality (VR) has been regarded as a highly effective technology that enables people to gain enjoyable and immersive information about museum collections. Drawing from the four realms of the experience economy, we assume absorptive experiences influence immersive experiences, overall museum VR tour experience, and intention to visit a

Interaction with virtual crowd in Immersive and semi‐Immersive Virtual Reality systems [PDF]

Computer Animation and Virtual Worlds, 2016
AbstractThis study examines attributes of virtual human behavior that may increase the plausibility of a simulated crowd and affect the user's experience in Virtual Reality. Purpose‐developed experiments in both Immersive and semi‐Immersive Virtual Reality systems queried the impact of collision and basic interaction between real‐users and the virtual ...
