“…In the past 17 years, the adoption of 3D and VR as a DES modeling methodology by practitioners and researchers in the industry and academia has grown tremendously. 2,11,27 Almost all simulation software vendors now implement 3D/VR animation, 17 while actively maintaining the 2D display. Some journals have also devoted special editions to addressing the impacts of 3D visualization in DES (e.g., Simulation 77(3–4) 33 ).…”

“…In DES the 3D display is usually referred to as VR by simulation vendors and users. 12,25 Most DES software provides a 3D display rather than immersive VR, although this will likely change in the future as the use of VR equipment becomes more affordable and popular in DES practice [26][27][28][29] . This paper uses the terms ''3D'' and ''VR'' interchangeably.…”

Research on the application of 3D visualization and virtual reality (VR) in discrete-event simulation (DES) has received increased attention in the past two decades. The increasing popularity of the 3D display in DES is mainly due to superior display capabilities and the associated benefits that it offers. However, the 2D display also continues to enjoy active use to date, thus provoking some fierce debates questioning the need for the 3D and VR if the 2D interface suffices. Several studies comparing the effectiveness of the different visualization methods also produce different conclusions. This paper undertakes a meta-analysis of the different positions and synthesizes the findings from 162 studies on the impacts of the 2D display versus 3D/VR on user performance on various DES tasks. The results highlight four key findings. First, the perception that the 2D display is more effective for model development is misleading as 3D/VR offers overall better performance and quality of models. Second, 3D/VR enables more effective performance than 2D display for model verification and validation. Third, 3D/VR decreases the time taken for verification, validation, experimentation, and analysis of results, but can increase model development time. Finally, the latent variables such as the application domains and nature of the problems tackled have no direct or indirect influence on the efficacy of the 3D display/VR versus 2D on DES task performance.

“…VR is also applied to teleoperation of real processes in dangerous environments or in micro and macro scale manufacturing. However, VR is not only applied to radical innovation, as it can reduce time and costs in incremental innovation, shorten the product innovation cycle, and lead to increases in product quality, helping industry to reduce the time-to-market and contributing to the joint process with consumers and even other stakeholders (e.g., Souza, Sacco & Porto, 2006;Hoffmann, Stefani & Patel, 2006).…”

The current study intends to highlight the most relevant studies in simulated realities with special attention to VR and marketing, showing how studies have evolved over time and discussing the findings. A text-mining approach using a Bayesian statistical topic model called latent Dirichlet allocation is employed to conduct a comprehensive analysis of 150 articles from 115 journals, all indexed in Web of Science. The findings reveal seven relevant topics, as well as the number of articles published over time, the authors most cited in VR papers and the leading journals in each topic. The article also provides theoretical and practical implications and suggestions for further research.

“…Although the 3D experience can provide the ability to alter the viewpoint of the observer including being able to "fly through" the system, it does not provide a complete VR experience in the conventional sense (Akpan & Brooks, 2014;Akpan & Shanker, 2018). Thus, the humancomputer interaction literature defines VR as a variety of systems with different levels of immersion, including full immersion into the virtual environment, and uses specialised hardware devices such as gloves and head-mounted displays (Hoffmann, Stefani, & Patel, 2006). However, this article uses the term 3D display and VR interchangeably and classifies both in the same category.…”

Achieving success in computer simulation projects has been a long-standing challenge. A recent study identifies 193 success statements (SSs) distributed across 5 critical success factors (CSFs) and 15 key performance indicators (KPIs) for evaluating simulation projects. This article employs text analytics and sentiments analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of twodimensional (2D) display and three-dimensional visualization/virtual reality (3D/VR) on the success of a simulation project. The study matches the sentiments from the literature selected through a systematic review process against the SSs, CSFs, and KPIs. The results establish that visual display can influence simulation projects in four ways. First, the combined visualization techniques in 2D and 3D/VR affect nearly half of the SSs across all the CSFs and KPIs, indicating an essential contribution to the success of simulation projects. Second, the 3D/VR is significantly more potent and influences more SSs across all the KPIs and CSFs compared to the 2D display. Third, the 2D display affects fewer but vital SSs, CSFs, and KPIs, especially those related to the time-sensitivity of project delivery, offering a logical explanation to the continued use of 2D visualization by simulation providers. Fourth, ensuring success in a computer simulation project requires multifaceted evaluation criteria.
