*Explore some of the ubiquitous tools (software and hardware) that can be used to create VR experiences and understand their limitations
*Explore a model that can be used to design and evaluate the affordances and pedagogical value of educational VR experiences
EON - Visualization in Medical Sciences
This document summarizes EON Reality's virtual and augmented reality simulation platforms and clients. It includes testimonials from medical clients at A NU Reality and the University of Montreal praising the educational benefits of EON Reality's simulations. It also lists worldwide education and commercial clients and provides contact information for the company.
The Future of Experiential Content
The document discusses how consumer behavior is shifting towards prioritizing experiences over material goods. It suggests that as people seek status through experiences, the world of content will need to adapt by becoming more experiential, personalized and focused on relationships and storytelling. It poses questions on how this shift could impact Disneyland Paris and provides examples of companies that are embracing experiential content through immersive experiences, virtual and augmented reality, extreme activities and digital detox retreats.
Language education and multiliteracies
This document discusses the concept of multiliteracies as developed by the New London Group. It was coined to describe the growing linguistic and cultural diversity in communities as well as the influence of new communication technologies where meaning is made through multimodal ways. The multiliteracies framework views knowledge and meaning as socially constructed and advocates for an education that develops flexible, active learners who can communicate and solve problems in diverse contexts rather than passively receiving information. It involves immersing students in experiences, overt instruction, critically analyzing socio-cultural contexts, and applying learning in new situations.
Google Expeditions: Virtual Reality and the classroom
As part of the inaugural event for Regent's University London's teaching exchange, this lecture introduces the role of VR in education, provides an overview of our experience of Google Expeditions and reports on key findings from participant observation and a survey of participants. Of the key findings, perhaps the most noteworthy is that students see things differently from academics and technologies, noting different points of success and signs of engagement. Related to this, Google Expeditions and VR inspired enthusiasm across the university but successful pedagogical innovation requires much more than just technological platforms

VR in Education
Virtual reality (VR) can be used as an educational tool by allowing students to visualize and interact with concepts they are learning. VR programs immerse students in simulated environments related to subjects like history, science, and architecture. For example, one program takes students inside the Globe Theater to learn about Shakespeare, while another allows exploration of cities, continents, and architectural developments. However, introducing VR to education was initially met with doubts in China, where traditional linear learning is emphasized. But proponents argue VR helps information processing and experiential learning compared to only reading. Within 5 years of being introduced, most large Chinese schools incorporated VR technologies.

1. VR can improve training and learning for novices through experiential learning, but may not benefit experts or factual learning as much. High presence VR engages users but can also distract from content if overstimulating.
2. Creating a sense of embodiment and co-presence through matching user movements to their virtual avatar and natural responses from others increases engagement. Signs of sentience like motion and voice are more important than graphics quality.
3. Exposure to virtual environments and avatars can influence users' behaviors through the proteus effect. To avoid uncanny valley effects, avatars must react and move naturally while maintaining good visual quality.

10 Everyday Things Virtual Reality Will Change
Virtual Reality is described as one of the “Next big things” by the media, but all the abusers of “the next big thing” have made us numb for such talk. Our friends, family and influencers aren’t really talking about VR, so the debates on what it can potentially change about our lives haven’t really come through yet.
A lot of people also lack the imagination to think of how it could change our lives. We went out into the street to ask a bunch of people what they think the impact will be and how it will be used.
The overall tone was rather dismissive instead of open-minded. Virtual Reality clearly hasn’t proven itself to the world yet and we’re not taking the word of the media for it.
Most importantly though: we don’t want to think about it, because we are uncertain or even afraid. The thought of becoming dependent on a reality that is completely different from our own is scary, so the easiest thing to do is just letting it be and holding on to our certainty for as long as possible.
We’ve always felt like we were in control of all technological breakthroughs. Like they served us as tools to enrich our lives, but with Virtual Reality this comes to an end.
With a VR set strapped to your head, you feel like something is literally planting stuff into your brain. You feel small and vulnerable, because it seems like you are not the one in control.
Control is one of the few crucial challenges VR needs to overcome to truly reach its potential. Once you feel comfortable with it, you will start to feel in control, and from there on, the possibilities are going to be limitless.
As technology continues to develop at a rapid pace, sooner or later we’re going to reach the point where the virtual experience becomes better than the real one. This is increasingly becoming the case for porn, where people can be completely immersed in their personal preference. It is literally taking it to the next level.
As computers learn more about us, we’re moving to a future where they will know exactly what we want, when we want it. This is already how our younger generations are growing up right now: everything on-demand. The only thing we currently know of that can get as close as possible to fulfilling that, is VR.
Are concerned parents going to put a VR set on their children? Sounds unlikely, but walking through a magical forest together with your child doesn’t sound that bad right? It’s just the beginning though. A lot more parents are allowing their kids to play with iPads now than a few years ago as well.
The thought may scare you, but it is inevitable. There are simply too many possibilities in truly experiencing our imagination. It is only a matter of time before the technology becomes so advanced that we will simply love it and gradually let it into different parts of our lives.
You should start thinking about what it might mean for you or what the opportunities are for your business. Our book on Digital Tr
Introducing virtual reality
Virtual reality is a computer-generated world that can be interacted with. It tracks the user in real-time using displays like head-mounted displays. There are different types of virtual reality including immersive VR using displays to replace a user's view and telepresence VR allowing remote control. Virtual reality requires specialized hardware like image generators, manipulation devices, and stereo vision to create the illusions of a 3D environment. Virtual reality has applications in fields like architecture, medicine, engineering, entertainment, training, and manufacturing.

Drug-delivery to the Brain using Neural Communications
The document proposes using ultrasound to power implanted devices that can stimulate nerves and transmit data via modulated nerve signals. This would allow sending data from an array of piezoelectric nanowire devices on the vagus nerve in the neck to a drug delivery system implanted in the brain. Ultrasound would convert to electrical pulses to stimulate the vagus nerve and encode data in the nerve signals up to 200 bits per second, allowing targeted drug delivery in the brain through neural communications.

Safer Cycle
This document summarizes research into developing an intelligent system to detect cyclists at roundabout junctions and generate alerts. Key points:
- Researchers at TSSG tested using Bluetooth beacons and GPS to detect cyclist trajectories and send alerts to different zones of the junction.
- Bluetooth detection worked well at speeds of 15-20 km/h when beacons were at a height of 1.2m, accurately tracking cyclist movement.
- GPS was deemed a more stable and lower cost solution than Bluetooth. Internet connectivity is important for the GPS-based system.
- The system was able to generate different alerts to different junction zones depending on detected cyclist movement, but more real-world testing

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
