“…After the analysis of the state-of-the-art and as mentioned above, the chosen locomotion method is the most appropriate according to the needs of the project. This on-rails-guided locomotion method may cause a slight sensation of motion sickness compared to other methods using more advanced VR technologies [34]. However, those locomotion methods are not applicable to mobile devices such as the one used for this serious game [29].…”

Education is crucial for the growth of society, and the usage of effective learning methods is key to transmit knowledge to young students. Some initiatives present Virtual Reality technologies as a promising medium to provide active, effective, and innovative teaching. In turn, the use of this technology seems to be very attractive to students, making it possible to acquire knowledge through it. On the other hand, agile methodologies have taken an essential role within information technologies and they are key in Software Engineering education. This paper combines both areas and presents prior research about Virtual Reality experiences with educational purposes and introduces a serious VR video game that aims to promote the learning of agile methodologies in Software Engineering education, specifically the Scrum methodology. This application tries to bring students closer to their first days of work within a software development team that uses the Scrum methodology. Two evaluation processes performed with university teachers and students indicate that the developed video game meets the proposed objectives and looks promising.

“…Indeed, researchers have started to disentangle the impacts of visual and proprioceptive feedback on traversed distance estimates in VR (Campos et al 2012;Moussaïd et al 2018;Nescher et al 2014;. For instance, the teleportation method has been recently adopted in VR applications due to the ease of use and low motion sickness (Bhandari et al 2018;Cherep et al 2020;Christou and Aristidou 2017;Langbehn et al 2018;Mayor et al 2019;Moghadam et al 2020). However, teleportation does not provide continuous optic flow during movement.…”

Immersive virtual reality (VR) technology has become a popular method for fundamental and applied spatial cognition research. One challenge researchers face is emulating walking in a large-scale virtual space although the user is in fact in a small physical space. To address this, a variety of movement interfaces in VR have been proposed, from traditional joysticks to teleportation and omnidirectional treadmills. These movement methods tap into different mental processes of spatial learning during navigation, but their impacts on distance perception remain unclear. In this paper, we investigated the role of visual display, proprioception, and optic flow on distance perception in a large-scale building by manipulating four different movement methods. Eighty participants either walked in a real building, or moved through its virtual replica using one of three movement methods: VR-treadmill, VR-touchpad, and VR-teleportation. Results revealed that, first, visual display played a major role in both perceived and traversed distance estimates but did not impact environmental distance estimates. Second, proprioception and optic flow did not impact the overall accuracy of distance perception, but having only an intermittent optic flow (in the VR-teleportation movement method) impaired the precision of traversed distance estimates. In conclusion, movement method plays a significant role in distance perception but does not impact the configurational knowledge learned in a large-scale real and virtual building, and the VR-touchpad movement method provides an effective interface for navigation in VR.

“…Users expect that their movements in the virtual environment should be similar (and sometimes identical) to those in the real world. If this is not properly supported by the system, side effects such as cybersickness and dizziness could occur [Mayor et al 2019], and the overall user experience could deteriorate.…”

A user's movement is one of the most important properties that pertain to user experience in a virtual reality (VR) environment. However, little research has focused on examining backward movements. Inappropriate support of such movements could lead to dizziness and disengagement in a VR program. In this paper, we investigate the possibility of detecting forward and backward movements from three different positions of the body (i.e., head, waist, and feet) by conducting a user study. Our machine-learning model yields the detection of forward and backward movements up to 93% accuracy and shows slightly varying performances by the participants. We detail the analysis of our model through the lenses of body position, integration, and sampling rate. CCS CONCEPTS • Human-centered computing → Virtual reality.
