IoT-Based Senses for Virtual Enterprises
IECON 2018 - 44th Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society, 2018The Virtual Enterprise (VE) as a state-of-the-art concept aims to form a coalition by integrating various enterprises temporarily, to complete the common goal by leveraging the capabilities and competencies of alliance members. To achieve this, the latest technologies are required for the implementation of VE concept.

The senses and virtual environments
The Senses and Society, 2017Designers and developers of immersive 3D virtual environments typically aim to faithfully recreate real-world scenarios yet, traditional emphasis is placed on recreating the visual, and to a much l...

Enhancing the Sense of Presence in Virtual Reality
IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications, 2023The vision of virtual reality, since Ivan Sutherland's first head mounted device in 1968, has been the re-creation of reality, something indistinguishable from reality, akin to what was depicted in the 1999 film, The Matrix. However, researchers and developers have largely favored visual perception over other senses, leading to the design of virtual ...

Virtual Sensing for Rotordynamics
Volume 6: Ceramics; Controls, Diagnostics and Instrumentation; Education; Manufacturing Materials and Metallurgy, 2016During last decades the scientific community focused its attention on energy efficiency solutions. Materials have been developed or improved to avoid energy dispersions and new strategies have been developed in order to exploit at best renewable and non renewable energy sources.

Towards a Virtualized Sensing Environment
2011While deploying a sensor network is necessary for proof-of-concept experimentation, it is a time-consuming and tedious task that dramatically slows innovation. Treating sensor networks as shared testbeds and integrating them into a federated testbed infrastructure, such as FIRE, GENI, AKARI, or CNGI, enables a broad user community to benefit from time ...

Attachment and sense of presence in a virtual environment
Virtual Reality, 2009This study is the first to investigate the connection between attachment categories and presence in Virtual Reality (VR) environments. Participants (99) completed an attachment questionnaire, experienced Virtual Reality Exposure (VRE) in a virtual airplane, and completed a presence questionnaire.

Antecedents of an experienced sense of virtual community
Computers in Human Behavior, 2011Sense of virtual community (SOVC) reflects the feeling that individual members have of belonging to an online social group. Yet there is a lack of investigation focusing on its individual-level antecedents. We argue that in order to enhance understanding of how SOVC develops we first need to distinguish between the individual expectations, actions, and

The mediating role of sense of virtual community
Online Information Review, 2016Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide a comprehensive model to illustrate the mediating role of sense of virtual community (SOVC) in virtual communities of practices (VCoPs). The interrelations between social capital and collective action in terms of knowledge contribution in the VCoP context are also examined.

Developing a Sense of Virtual Community Measure
CyberPsychology & Behavior, 2007Sense of virtual community is an important feature of virtual communities. This study develops a sense of virtual community (SOVC) measure, building off the strengths of a widely used measure of sense of community (SOC) for face-to-face communities.
