“…Several researchers have shown that non-immersive, monitor-bound simulations offer possibilities for training firefighters [see, for example, (St Julien and Shaw, 2003;Yuan et al, 2007;van Berlo et al, 2005)]. However, as immersive VR technology has many distinctive properties and brings with it many unique challenges and considerations-for example, the issue of cybersickness (LaViola, 2000) or the challenge of creating effective input methods in VR (Choe et al, 2019)-we argue that it needs to be treated as a separate inquiry. Therefore, VR setups utilizing head-mounted displays and CAVE systems (Cruz-Neira et al, 1993) are the focus of this inquiry, and desktop monitorbound simulations are not within the scope of this investigation.…”

Immersive virtual reality (VR) shows a lot of potential for the training of professionals in the emergency response domain. Firefighters occupy a unique position among emergency personnel as the threats they encounter are mainly environmental. Immersive VR therefore represents a great opportunity to be utilized for firefighter training. This systematic review summarizes the existing literature of VR firefighting training that has a specific focus on human factors and learning outcomes, as opposed to literature that solely covers the system, or simulation, with little consideration given to its user. An extensive literature search followed by rigorous filtering of publications with narrowly defined criteria was performed to aggregate results from methodologically sound user studies. The included studies provide evidence that suggests the suitability of VR firefighter training, especially in search and rescue and commander training scenarios. Although the overall number of publications is small, the viability of VR as an ecologically valid analog to real-life training is promising. In the future, more work is needed to establish clear evidence and guidelines to optimize the effectiveness of VR training and to increase reliable data through appropriate research endeavors.

“…This method is an indirect selection method; the target key is selected when the user gazes at the target for a predetermined time, which means when the cursor stops for a predetermined time on the target key. The cursor is moved based on a collection of head movement data with the head tracker [35]. In this case, the google cardboard HMDs can be used to test whether this application moves in the direction that the user is looking, and the button is clicked if static gazing of over 2 seconds is detected.…”

Programming is a highly sought-after technical skill in the job market, but there are limited avenues available for training competent and proficient programmers. This research focuses on evaluating an immersive virtual reality (VR) application that has been introduced in the field of Python learning, which uses the interaction technique and a user interface, allowing the novice to engage in VR learning. 30 participants were recruited for the evaluation purpose and they are divided into two groups--15 for Experiment I, and 15 for Experiment II. A questionnaire to evaluate the user interface was done in Experiment I, and a questionnaire to evaluate the novice's acceptance of the VR application was given to the participants in Experiment II. Furthermore, interviews were conducted to collect detailed feedback from all the participants. From the results, it can be noted that the implemented interaction designs in this VR application are adequate. However, more interaction techniques can be integrated to increase the degree of immersive experience of the user in the application. Besides, the interface of the application is considered adequate and reasonable. Nevertheless, there is room for improvement in the aspect of usability and provide a higher level user experience. The novices' acceptance level of the new proposed learning method is low; this might be due to the users' fear of change--a normal human behaviour in embracing new things in life. Therefore, a larger sample size is proposed to further investigate the novice's acceptance of the new learning method by using an improved version of the VR application.

“…VR technology is currently attracting the attention of the enthusiast or hobbyist community and is being developed gradually by skilled technologists (Burdea and Coiffet, 2003). Several recent studies of VR exist, such as the development of indicators related to motion sickness in the VR environment , and the study of VR input devices (Choe et al, 2019). The core technology of fitness trackers is of great interest to users today and is a promising technology for the future (Bajpai et al, 2015;Wei and Kang, 2019).…”

Affective engineering research on products and services has been actively conducted, but there is little research on affect regarding newly emerging information technology products and services and analysis of cultural differences by country. This study used network analysis to collect the major affective vocabulary of individuals in the USA, China, Indonesia, Korea, and Russia for emerging IT products and services, and thereby analysed cultural differences. Affective vocabulary was collected related to virtual reality devices, fitness trackers, drones, a call taxi service, mobile pay, and virtual currency. Vocabulary collected through a survey was categorised into major affective vocabulary through network analysis. Social awareness of products/ services was confirmed through analysis of the positive/negative aspects of the vocabulary. The affect of the target IT products/services was compared and interpreted with reference to Hofstede theory. The results of this study may be used as a basis for the development of IT products and services.
