Douglas Adams

A

Came up with a set of rules that describes our reactions to technologies:

Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works

Anything that is invented anytime between the time you’re 15 and 35 is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it

Anything invented after you’re 35 is against the natural order of things

Q

laser scanning

A
  1. A laser beam is shone onto a rotating mirror that reflects the beam out towards the area being scanned
  2. Through the rotation of the mirror, the beam is distributed in a vertical arc of ~300 degrees
  3. Simultaneous to this vertical rotation, the system rotates horizontally to cover a range of 360 degrees
  4. The laser beam is reflected back to the scanner by objects and/or surfaces in its path.
  5. The beam is recorded as a series of pulses or points as the distances as well as their relative vertical and horizontal angles are determined, recorded and converted into X-Y-Z values. This data is presented in a graphical format in the form of a point cloud that illustrates the spatial qualities of the objects & surfaces that were scanned.
  6. At the conclusion of a scan, multiple images of the area scanned are recorded so that specific colour values of individual pixels can be attached to the corresponding individual scan points
66
Q

When showing evidence, jury will fixate on the first thing they see
Real Estate agents, mattress shopping

78

88
Q

What is VR

A

A computer-generated artificial Immersive Environment experienced through sensory stimuli (primarily sights and sounds), in which one’s actions may affect what happens in the environment

89
Q

3 types of Fidelity

A

Perceptual fidelity
Feedback fidelity
Emotional fidelity

90
Q

Description of fidelity (3)

A

To the visuals of the actual situation (how realistic are the representations),

To the task (how accurately is the task modelled and presented), and

To the cognitive path (how closely do the mental processes experienced and retained reflect the real-world process)

91
Q

Perceptual fidelity

A

Virtual interactions that closely mimic the physical world activate the same neural pathways in the brain. I.e. “muscle memory” or State-dependent retention

92
Q

Feedback fidelity

A

In VR, learners make decisions just as they would in the real world, and depending on the level of engagement, these decisions can have a direct and immediate positive or negative impact

93
Q

Emotional fidelity

A

VR can invoke a sense of presence that creates real emotional and empathic responses.

These sensory stimulations trigger the brain in much the same way it reacts to actual situations (whether joy, fear or surprise) to release endorphins, serotonin, and/or dopamine.

94
Q

Goal of immersive environment

A

Agency along with the Immersive Environment generates Presence which in turn encourages Engagement.
Engagement when combined with Fidelity determines the Success of the training process.

Thus, a fully engaged student in a high-fidelity environment is more likely to demonstrate a successful learning outcome.

95
Q

SoD

A

Suspension of Disbelief - believing what is being presented is for the moment real

The first steps in immersion and the formation of Presence involve Suspension of Disbelief

96
Q

Persistance in Immersive Environment

A

to develop a deeper investment in the virtual world, participants need to feel it is persistent and consistent.

This in turn creates trust in the system; builds community to encourage social norms, and fosters co-creativity

97
Q

The Narrative or Storyline in Immersive Environment

A

Immersion is significantly enhanced by a compelling and comprehensive narrative.

It contextualizes and helps makes sense of the activity and tasks being encountered.

98
Q

Three primary decisions to make when choosing a system

A

Content: Off-the-Shelf or In-House/Custom
Degrees of Freedom: 3 DoF or 6 DoF
Guidance: Implicit or Explicit (self-discovery or directed learning)

At all stages, whether planning, selecting, deploying or evaluating, remember prioritize the pedagogy over the technology

99
Q

3 degrees of freedom

A

VR headsets with 3DoF only have rotational control (yaw, pitch, roll).

Ex. subject on a tour bus who can look around but can not interact with the environment or dictate where to go.

Best suited when students are in an observer’s role and do not require freedom of movement or interaction with the environment.

100
Q

6 degrees of freedom

A

VR headsets with 6DoF have both rotational and translation control (vertical, lateral, forward/back).

Subjects using a 6DoF system have control over interacting with the scenario (picking up, moving around) and can use haptic technology (touch, aroma etc.) to enhance the experience

101
Q

Proteus Effect

A

studies have shown participants who experience strong embodiment to avatars possessing enhanced positive traits (i.e. strength) may take on and exhibit those characteristics (cycling performance/endurance)
