“…The paper has considered 154 examples of multisensory data representations, in order to propose a design space along three dimensions: use of modalities, representation intent and human-data relations. In the paper [23], a control system prototype based on Arduino has been designed for the heat and scent simulations, within the VR environments. The proposed system represents a multisensory VR simulator developed in Unity 3D to prevent hazards such as fire, smoke, and so on.…”

The tactful networking paradigm is expected to play a crucial role in the next generation networks. Accordingly, adaptive human-aware environments, sensitive to the daily human behavior and individual traits have to be provided, in order to offer a fully immersive and customized experience to users. On the basis of data collected by actual cognitive experiments, this paper proposes a learning framework to discover the multi-sensory human perceptual experience. The paper applies the mixture density network to identify the perception model considering different senses, and then the multi-sensory integration is performed, accordingly to the actual neuro-cognitive model. Furthermore, a supervised learning module has been used to cluster the users on the basis of the human perception identification strategy previously designed, assuming a multimodal structure for the cognitive brain activity. Finally, a practical contextualization has been presented, in relation to the haptics virtual reality services. What emerges from the results is the effectiveness of the tactful approach, i.e., brain-aware, involving the proposed framework, which is validated in comparison to the more conventional brain-agnostic scheme. In fact, the system performance, expressed in terms of reliability in guaranteeing the service exploitation before a target deadline based on the integrated perception, reaches remarkable improvements applying the brain-aware strategy, which exploits the human perception knowledge.

Fires and fire-related fatalities remain a tragic and frequent occurrence. Evidence has shown that humans adopt sub-optimal behaviours during fire incidents and, therefore, training is one possible means to improve occupant survival rates.We present the potential benefits of using Virtual Environment Training (VET) for fire evacuation. These include experiential and active learning, the ability to interact with contexts which would be dangerous to experience in real life, the ability to customise training and scenarios to the learner, and analytics on learner performance. While several studies have investigated fire safety in VET, generally with positive outcomes, challenges related to cybersickness, interaction and content creation remain. Moreover, issues such as lack of behavioural realism have been attributed to the lack realistic sensory feedback. We argue for multimodal (visual, audio, olfactory, heat) virtual fire safety training to address limitations with existing simulators, and ultimately improve the outcomes of fire incidents.
