“…Virtual reality (VR)-based simulations of sport situations are increasingly popular for assessment and training purposes (Bideau et al, 2010) since they offer opportunities to manipulate and/or standardise spatial and temporal constraints of all the virtual environment (VE) features such as players and ball trajectories. It is a technology that allows users to interact with a VE (McMenemy & Ferguson, 2007) while having high ecological validity and experimental control (Loomis, Blascovich, & Beall, 1999). In VR, players can be exposed to 3D representations of real captured movements (Brault, Bideau, Kulpa, & Craig, 2012), and their head movements are tracked in real time to update players' viewpoint.…”

Virtual reality (VR) is a widespread technology drawing an increasing interest for players and coaches, especially in team ball sports as it offers a simple tool to simulate, analyse and train situations that are often too complex to reproduce in the field. In this review we aimed at (1) providing an overview of methodologies and outcomes of research studies using VR in team ball sports; (2) better evaluating the potential interest of VR to analyse or train team ball sports situation and (3) identifying limitations, gaps in knowledge and remaining scientific challenges. The MEDLINE and Web of Science Core Collection databases were searched, using predefined combinations of keywords. Thirty articles were retained and analysed. VR can be an interesting tool to assess or train team ball sports skills/situations as it allows researchers to control and standardise situations and focus on specific skills/subskills. Studies that used VR in team ball sports still have some limitations, mainly due to technical issues or study design. This paper also describes the way VR should be used to enhance understanding of performance in team ball sports. Additional suggestions for future research and study design are proposed.

This paper discusses a real-time virtual sculpting system in a non-photorealistic manner. Up till now, a majority of researchers pursuing virtual sculpting have highlighted the physical fidelity of simulation, with approaches for realizing photorealism being principal specialized contributions. We aim at capitalizing on the strengths of nonphotorealistic rendering with respect to aesthetics, expression and computing expense. By means of touch-enabled manipulation, the haptic interaction is conducted to form the deformable surfaces, and the edge extraction is employed to stress boundaries. Afterwards, we utilize anisotropic diffusion to lessen unimportant details as well as a fresh inverse Gaussian bilateral filter for spot removal. Processed in a spatiotemporal style, the non-photorealistic rendering works to maintain coherence in time. Moreover, the parallel realization of the system put forward on graphics hardware (GPU) guarantees real-time behavior.

“…According to Fubini's "People initially use technology to do what they do now -but faster" [22], Virtual reality was developed to get users to replace computer 's keyboard, mouse and joystick with a more interactive and sensory interfaces and thus faster and more involving experience. Virtual reality, Augmented reality, spatial reality, mixed reality, tangible reality and collaborative reality are all synonym for a 3D environment generated by the computer where the user can be involved in real time and have a sensation of being there [23].…”

Studies show that the number of dyslexic students is increasing, as it does the need of the appropriate learning techniques and methodologies increases as well. For the students with learning disability, generally and the dyslexic stu-dents specifically there aren’t enough technologies that helps them in the learning process. Not only the students with learning disability face this prob-lem but parents and teachers are involved as well. The challenge that students with dyslexia face is that they find difficulties in processing and re-membering information, so they need extra effort and time to learn especial-ly when learning the basics like alphabets. In order to help students’ teachers and parents in the learning process, we developed methodology that mixes education with entertainment and produces an effective way of teaching. The proposed application teaches the students the alphabet by tracing the Ar-abic letters in the three forms initial, middle and final form, and pronounce the letters as well. It uses a friendly virtual reality environment. Virtual reality VR is one of the latest techniques in both education and entertainment which proved its effectiveness. It motivates the students to learn, interact and make the learning processes more productive. The aim of this research is to help the dyslexic students, teachers and parents to learn and enhance the learning process. The evaluation of the system revealed that the proposed application successfully supported students learning in general and students with dyslexia specifically.
