5. Teacher Perceptions of Training and Pedagogical Value of Cross-Reality and Sensor Data from Smart Buildings

Author

Rowe, Shawn, Riggio, Mariapaola, De Amicis, Raffaele, and Rowe, Susan R.

Abstract

This paper discusses elementary, and secondary (K-12) teachers' perceptions of cross-reality (XR) tools for data visualization and use of sensor data from the built environment in classroom curricula. Our objective was to explore the use of sensor-informed XR in the built environment and civil engineering (BECE) field to support K-12 science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) experiential learning and foster BECE-related career awareness. We conducted surveys and informal questionnaires with 33 primary and secondary teachers attending an annual two-day university-based teacher professional development workshop as part of a statewide STEM afterschool program serving students in rural communities. We assessed teachers' familiarity with, knowledge about, and appraisal of using cross-reality platforms and sensor data in classrooms and after school curricula. Findings show that, while all teachers reported relatively high interest in learning about sensor applications and innovative interactive techniques, middle school teachers in particular were most likely to see value in using these applications for teaching and learning. Implications for teacher professional development are discussed.

Abstract

The rapid development of virtual reality (VR) technology has triggered a significant expansion of VR applications in educational settings. This study seeks to understand the extent to which these applications meet the expectations and pedagogical needs of university instructors. We conducted semi-structured interviews and observations with 16 university-level instructors from Oregon State University to gather insights into their experiences and perspectives regarding the use of VR in educational contexts. Our qualitative analysis reveals detailed trends in instructors' requirements, their satisfaction and dissatisfaction with current VR tools, and the perceived barriers to broader adoption. The study also explores instructors' expectations and preferences for designing and implementing VR-driven courses, alongside an evaluation of the usability of selected VR applications. By elucidating the challenges and opportunities associated with VR in education, this study aims to guide the development of more effective VR educational tools and inform future curriculum design, contributing to the enhancement of digital learning environments.

45. The influence of attentional engagement and spatial characteristics on time perception in virtual reality.

Subjects
TIME perception, ENVIRONMENTAL quality
Abstract

Virtual reality (VR) is a simulation tool that is being used extensively to study the effects of training and perception. However, several studies have shown that some aspects of perception within VR are not always accurate. The present study investigates the perception of time within a VR environment by asking for retrospective time judgments of the length of VR experiences. These environments varied in both the level of interaction with the VR environment and also the spatial qualities of the environment itself. The judged length of time did not significantly differ between conditions based on the level of activity in the environment, but the spatial characteristics of the VR environment did produce significantly different time estimations. This finding suggests that careful attention should be paid to what and how users are trained or evaluated in VR. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

50. An empirical evaluation of enhanced teleportation for navigating large urban immersive virtual environments.

Abstract

Navigation is the most prevalent interaction in large urban virtual environments (VEs). Any Metaverse application that foresees navigating or exploring virtual cities requires an effective and efficient navigation technique. These environments, however, have distinct characteristics that make the navigation more challenging and the design of the interactions more critical. We have conducted an empirical study to assess how enhancing the teleportation technique with additional capabilities affects the performance of navigating large urban VEs. For this purpose, three interactions have been developed that extend the conventional point-and-click teleportation. The first one is named Mini-Map and provides a top-down view of the user’s surroundings. Portal Preview provides a preview of the selected target location and allows users to choose their desired orientation at that location. The last technique, called X-Ray Vision, makes the buildings around the user translucent and allows teleporting to locations that would otherwise be obscured. A withinsubject controlled lab study with twenty five participants has been conducted, where each extension is evaluated individually as well as in combination with others. Our results show that extending the teleportation can significantly improve its performance when navigating large urban VEs. Overall, the X-Ray Vision was the most successful extension with respect to both task metrics and usability measures. Mini-Map was able to improve some of the task metrics, but did not have a significant effect on most self-reported measures. Portal Preview was the least effective extension, however, multiple participants liked the fact that they could define their desired orientation with the controller. Combining all interactions together performed well with respect to the task metrics, but this option was not favored by the participants. Extending the teleportation with X-Ray Vision and Mini-Map was by far the most favored option. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
