“…On the VR side, this is done simply by introducing more virtual vehicles and allowing multiple users to be captured at the same time. To further enhance the performance, we may look into multi-agent virtual reality pipelines [15] to effectively develop the VR system, and employ intelligent AI models to coordinate multiple virtual vehicles [24]. Similarly, on the trajectory prediction side, our method can incorporate a dynamic graph structure to consider the nearest road users.…”

The advancement of automated driving technology has led to new challenges in the interaction between automated vehicles and human road users. However, there is currently no complete theory that explains how human road users interact with vehicles, and studying them in real-world settings is often unsafe and timeconsuming. This study proposes a 3D Virtual Reality (VR) framework for studying how pedestrians interact with human-driven vehicles. The framework uses VR technology to collect data in a safe and cost-effective way, and deep learning methods are used to predict pedestrian trajectories. Specifically, graph neural networks have been used to model pedestrian future trajectories and the probability of crossing the road. The results of this study show that the proposed framework can be for collecting high-quality data on pedestrian-vehicle interactions in a safe and efficient manner. The data can then be used to develop new theories of human-vehicle interaction and aid the Autonomous Vehicles research.

“…Although VR technologies allow for very versatile and diverse designs, the literature gathers a family of technical or usability characteristics common to all of them [13,14]: (a) 3D design, referring to the sensation of three-dimensionality experienced by the user; (b) immersiveness, or the degree to which the user is immersed in the simulated environment; (c) realism of the experience; (d) interactivity with the simulated environment and other users; (e) user experience; and (f) employability. Regarding the concept of immersiveness, the literature presents divergent concepts.…”

In this paper, we conducted descriptive quantitative research on the assessment of virtual reality (VR) technologies in higher education in the countries of the Pacific Alliance (PA). Specifically, differences between PA countries in terms of the above perceptions were identified and the behavior of the gender and knowledge area gaps in each of them was analyzed. A validated quantitative questionnaire was used for this purpose. As a result, we found that PA professors express high ratings of VR but point out strong disadvantages regarding its use in lectures; in addition, they have low self-concept of their digital competence. In this regard, it was identified that there are notable differences among the PA countries. Mexico is the country with the most marked gender gaps, while Chile has strong gaps by areas of knowledge. We give some recommendations towards favoring a homogeneous process of integration of VR in higher education in the PA countries.

“…VR consists of a set of computational technologies that allow the user to immerse in a threedimensional virtual environment in a realistic way and interact with it (Ospina-Bohórquez et al, 2022). Consequently, there are some characteristics that specifically define VR technologies and differentiate them from other computerized technologies (Slater, 2009;Sundar et al, 2010): (i) immersive character -i.e., the ability to generate the stimuli of the simulated environment-; (ii) 3D design -i.e., the sensation of three-dimensionality of that environment-; (iii) ability to generate sensory experiences; (iv) realism; and (v) interactivity -i.e., allowing the user to interact with the simulated environment-.…”

This paper conducts quantitative research on the assessment made by university professors of the didactic use of virtual reality technologies according to the level of technological development and digitization of their country. For this purpose, a survey was used, the responses to which were statistically analyzed, and the level of digitalization was differentiated through the country's global innovation index. The results show that the valuations of virtual reality as a teaching tool are high, but the competence for its use of university professors is intermediate. On the other hand, it was found that the higher the country's level of digital development, the more pronounced the gender gap in this study. Similarly, the higher the country's level of digital development, the smaller the age gap.
