“…Likewise, the Oculus Rift virtual reality system, which is a line of virtual reality headsets developed and manufactured by Oculus VR (Menlo Park, CA, USA) [ 76 ], was the most widely used for fully immersive virtual reality applications. According to the results presented in [ 38 ], whose proposal integrated the Oculus Rift system and Unity, it was noted that although the overall classification performance remained low, the results showed an increase in brain activation due to the effect of virtual reality training and feedback.…”

In recent years, various studies have demonstrated the potential of electroencephalographic (EEG) signals for the development of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) in the rehabilitation of human limbs. This article is a systematic review of the state of the art and opportunities in the development of BCIs for the rehabilitation of upper and lower limbs of the human body. The systematic review was conducted in databases considering using EEG signals, interface proposals to rehabilitate upper/lower limbs using motor intention or movement assistance and utilizing virtual environments in feedback. Studies that did not specify which processing system was used were excluded. Analyses of the design processing or reviews were excluded as well. It was identified that 11 corresponded to applications to rehabilitate upper limbs, six to lower limbs, and one to both. Likewise, six combined visual/auditory feedback, two haptic/visual, and two visual/auditory/haptic. In addition, four had fully immersive virtual reality (VR), three semi-immersive VR, and 11 non-immersive VR. In summary, the studies have demonstrated that using EEG signals, and user feedback offer benefits including cost, effectiveness, better training, user motivation and there is a need to continue developing interfaces that are accessible to users, and that integrate feedback techniques.

This paper proposes a Vehicle Inspection Routine Virtual Reality simulation application that teaches students how to perform vehicle inspections, commonly known as "Rutin Pemeriksaan Kenderaan", which is a required module before obtaining a Malaysian driver's license. The module's goal is to ensure that the vehicle is safe on the road, and students currently learn the module in person and then review it through videos or books. The goal of producing the VR learning application is to give students a new approach to learning the vehicle inspection routine module in a more informative and entertaining manner, both during and after the pandemic, thanks to the evolution of virtual reality technologies. The VR learning application adopted the content from the Department of Road Transport's exact syllabus to create digital learning assets and immersive environment that are similar to driving schools. The VR learning application could potentially enhance or supplement the existing vehicle inspection routine module by giving students the opportunity to practice social distancing at home while learning it. Wearing a head mounted device like the Oculus Rift, students are immersed in a virtual driving school, where they are greeted and guided by an instructor. Students can learn and revise all of the vehicle inspection stages from the instructor, both in theory and hands-on, in a relaxed and engaging environment through the VR learning application.

“…To achieve that, the industry has turned to motion tracking devices and immersive 3D graphics, including head mounted displays (HMDs), such as Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and Hololens, and motion tracking technologies, such as Kinect, Wii Remote, Leap Motion, and Virtuix Omni VR treadmill. This recent surge of affordable VR devices expanded the number of VR applications. To mention but a few examples beyond the gaming scene, VR is now widely used in medical applications for physical rehabilitation (Paolini et al, 2013;Baldominos et al, 2015;Draganov and Boumbarov, 2015;Morel et al, 2015;Donati et al, 2016;Shokur et al, 2016), exposure therapy for phobias and post-traumatic stress (Notzon et al, 2015;Cuperus et al, 2016), treatment for addiction (Park et al, 2016) and even autism (Didehbani et al, 2016). Other fields such as architecture and urban planning (Portman et al, 2015;Luigi et al, 2015) and education (Abulrub et al, 2011) also benefit from the technology.…”

Peer Review #1 of "A method for creating interactive, user-resembling avatars (v0.1)"

Virtual reality (VR) applications have disseminated throughout several fields, with a special quest for immersion. The avatar is one of the key constituents of immersive applications, and avatar resemblance can provoke diverse emotional responses from the user. Yet, a lot a virtual reality systems struggle to implement real lifelike avatars. In this work, we propose a novel method for creating interactive, user-resembling avatars using available commercial hardware and software. Avatar visualization is possible with a point-cloud or a contiguous polygon surface, and avatar interactions with the virtual scenario happens through a body joint-approximation for contact. In addition, the implementation could be easily extended to other systems and its modular architecture admits improvement both on visualization and physical interactions. The code is under Apache License 2.0 and is freely available as supplemental material.
