“…With the development of mobile communication technology, it is rapidly applied in various fields. Reason behind the widespread use of VR is due to its ability to visualize content and concepts and its support for immersive experience [8]. e traditional teaching mode of ideological and political education (IPE) in colleges and universities lacks innovation and only focuses on learning theoretical knowledge [9,10].…”

With the advancement of digital technology, new means and methods are being offered in education to enhance teaching-learning. The use of technology in educational interventions has a positive impact on the students’ functional, cognitive, and psychomotor skills. This study aims to improve the teaching mode of ideological and political education (IPE). The research work intends to enhance enthusiasm of college students for ideological and political course (IPC). Based on 5G technology, the rising virtual reality (VR) technology is proposed in this study to improve IPC in colleges and universities. To begin with, the background of IPE and VR technology is introduced. Next, the current college students’ attitudes toward IPE and VR technology are investigated by a questionnaire survey. Finally, based on the red hero culture, the VR system for IPE is designed. Results of the evaluation show that the students who have been the members of the Communist Party have the highest degree of interest for IPC in colleges and universities. Endorsing the fact, about 29.7% college students and 26.81% university students who were members of the communist youth league favored for IPC, while only 14.29% of the masses showed interest for IPC. As a whole, 25.2% of all the students participated in the survey showed their interest for IPC. One of the main reasons behind the results is the teaching mode and means that attract students for IPC. At present, 84.11% of the ideological and political teachers give a lecture of IPC via PPT, while 67.29% of the students prefer the Internet platform as a means of IPC. About 73.4% of the students know VR and are interested in the application of VR to IPC. They believe that VR can help them understand the knowledge of IPC and has broad prospects in improving the teaching quality of IPE. The designed VR system for IPE which is used in colleges and universities has four modules, namely, the preamble module of graphic history, the hero wall module, the hero art sculpture module, and the scene experience module. This system can help realize the objective of IPE in colleges and universities and provides a reference for the application of VR in enhancing IPE.

“…Data fusion refers to the analysis and integration of information obtained in actual teaching through different methods and technical means to achieve the expected purpose, improve work efficiency, and enhance learning benefits. Data fusion is based on a large number of mathematical operations, combining reality with virtual reality, and analyzing these real worlds to obtain the required information [19,20]. When building a virtual reality system, data needs to be analyzed.…”

Virtual reality technology is becoming more and more well-known by more and more people. Informatization of education is vigorously promoted in the modernization of the country. As a new type of digital information processing platform, virtual reality technology has a huge advantage in elementary school mathematics teaching. It is based on three-dimensional spatial data for modeling, analysis, and display. In addition, as a data synthesis and processing technology, data fusion is actually the integration and application of many traditional disciplines and new technologies. Geographic information system (GIS) is a specific and very important spatial information system. This article mainly uses the method of case analysis, giving examples of virtual experimental teaching system, intelligent auxiliary teaching system, and virtual classroom teaching system to analyze the related technologies and then apply the investigation method and experimental method to test the system proposed in this article and organize students’ opinions systematic attitude. Experimental data and survey results show that 78 students believe that the virtual mathematics education system is most suitable for simulating operation experience and understanding principles. And more than 50% of students believe that the virtual experimental education system has significantly increased their interest in learning. For this reason, the research on the virtual reality elementary school mathematics teaching system based on GIS data fusion is of great significance.

“…An interesting observation in our study was the GBOs' positioning in the virtual environment enabling users to look at them from a dual point of view macroscopic and microscopic, as seen in the visualisation of a complex neuronal pattern [23]. In our approach we refer to a macroscopic point of view as a top down approach with the camera situated at the top of the displayed data, visually capturing most of the GBOs.…”

This paper explores the use of geometrical ions (called geons) to represent solutions in the approximated Pareto front generated by multi-and many-objective optimisers. The construction of geons based objects (GBOs) for solutions to a 3-and 5-objective problem is outlined, and the visualisation is embedded in a tool that has been tested with expert users. The findings suggest that our approach is promising, with all users successfully engaging with the given tasks and 4 out of 6 managing to complete some of the tasks they were assigned. Results indicate that the use of geometry, rather than colour as is often used to convey properties of Pareto front approximations, is a useful way of embedding multi-objective data.
