“…In order to navigate through the virtual scene, the user has to use the HMD and controllers [56,59] where the range of motion is predefined and the teleport to the desired location is enabled. By tracking the head and hand movement of the user and monitoring the controllers, it is possible to know exactly where the user is positioned and where they are looking.…”

“…The inability to teleport is the main problem that most often occurs in practice [59]. Creating a volume of the desired dimensions, which is placed below those parts of the scene in the frame, is the way of solving the problem of not being able to move.…”

“…The sensors do not always detect the controllers and it takes some time for the detection to run smoothly. By tracking the head and hand movement of the user and monitoring the controllers, it is possible to know exactly where the user is positioned and where he/she is looking [59,60]. Teleportation through a scene is easy for the users because they are not required to navigate via joystick on the controllers.…”

“…In addition to moving through the ground level of the scene [59,61], two elevated horizontal platforms were created in the height of the icons on the iconostasis, which are invisible while using the VR equipment. Both platforms are located at the same distance from the iconostasis, and by teleporting through the space, the user can climb to them to observe the icons from close range, which cannot be done in real life without scaffolding, ladders, and similar equipment.…”

During recent years, the synergy of virtual reality (VR) and photogrammetry has become an increasingly prevalent way to visualize, represent, preserve and disseminate cultural heritage objects. Photogrammetry offers a reliable method for a faithful and accurate image-based modeling of real-world objects, while VR applications provide not only visualization, but also an immersive and interactive experience of the photogrammetrically reconstructed cultural heritage. This research aims to create and apply the method for providing VR experience in the context of cultural heritage by developing a workflow for the VR applications based on photogrammetric models. The proposed workflow was applied on the iconostasis of the Serbian Orthodox Cathedral church of Saint Nicholas in Sremski Karlovci (Serbia). The presented method is based on the following main steps: generation ofan accurate 3D reconstruction of the iconostasisusing photogrammetry, the 3D model optimization, retopology, control and analysis and the process of creating the VR experience using a game-engine. The final result is an interactive walk through the church, which provides the user with an opportunity to visualize the iconostasis and its individual icons through different perspectives and multiple levels of detail, which is not otherwise possible when observing the church interior.

“…The sequence in Figure 8 shows progressive evaluation of the signature σ p on GPU through the analyst Web3D front-end using a common web browser. The interactive radius did also provide visual support to 3D modeling workflow for applied VR games production phases [39], highlighting which portions of the IVE might possibly require higher detail. Such data produced by casual visitors through a free locomotion model thus resulted in useful insights to prioritize improvements of 3D scene (geometry, texturing, etc.)…”

Capturing immersive VR sessions performed by remote learners using head-mounted displays (HMDs) may provide valuable insights on their interaction patterns, virtual scene saliency and spatial analysis. Large collected records can be exploited as transferable data for learning assessment, detect unexpected interactions or fine-tune immersive VR environments. Within the online learning segment, the exchange of such records among different peers over the network presents several challenges related to data transport and/or its decoding routines. In the presented work, we investigate applications of an image-based encoding model and its implemented architecture to capture users’ interactions performed during VR sessions. We present the PRISMIN framework and how the underneath image-based encoding can be exploited to exchange and manipulate captured VR sessions, comparing it to existing approaches. Qualitative and quantitative results are presented in order to assess the encoding model and the developed open-source framework.
