“…These possibilities are expressed in a general sense and rarely refer to specific teaching situations or experiences, but can be characterised as an 'envisioned potential' of HMD VR. These are signs that VR (and AR) is not simply a 'hype' and that it can be used to meet these kinds of expectations (Bom 2017;Papanastasiou et al 2019). However, as is often the case when new technologies emerge, their potential can be overestimated and the hype around them exaggerated (van Lente et al 2013;cf.…”

The challenges of using head mounted virtual reality in K-12 schools from a teacher perspective

The use of head mounted displays (HMDs) to experience virtual realities (VR) has become increasingly common. As this technology becomes more affordable, immersive and easier to use, it also becomes more serviceable in educational and training contexts. Even though the technology, content and feasibility for K-12 school purposes are still being developed, it is reasonable to expect that the call or 'push' to use HMD VR in K-12 schools will increase, especially as there is now a greater economic interest in the use of digital technologies in educational contexts. This article aims to inform the process of implementing HMD VR in K-12 contexts by researching the preconditions and challenges of use from a teacher perspective. It does this by analysing the organisational, institutional, contextual and practical challenges and opportunities in the implementation of HMD VR in K-12 school contexts. The data draws on (a) interviews, informal conversations and observations of teachers testing HMD VR and different VR applications in a Digital Learning Lab (DLL) and (b) data from a project involving upper secondary school history teachers discussing the planned implementation of HMD VR in their teaching and being in the DLL. The main findings are related to: (a) economy and technology, (b) initial learning barriers, (c) organisation and practical enactment for teaching and learning, (d) curricula, syllabuses and expected learning outcomes and (e) teachers' competences, professional development and trust. The consequences for educational contexts and possible ways forward are also discussed.

“…For the physical manifestation of emotions, although human brain waves and heart rate are a good basis for emotional discrimination [9]. Brengman classified human emotions by studying the universal meaning of facial expressions and exploring the association between expressions and a definite emotion beforehand, and proposed six basic emotions: happiness, sadness, surprise, fear, disgust, and anger, each of which is all of them correspond to their unique facial features [10].…”

This paper explores dynamic visual communication image framing for graphic design based on virtual reality algorithms, defines corresponding feature representations by delineating layers of pixels, elements, relationships, planes, and applications, and investigates methods for quantifying geometric features, perceptual features, and style features, respectively. The contents include extraction methods for element colors, calculation methods for layout perceptual features and color-matching perceptual features, and pairwise comparison methods for style features. Overfitting the distribution of geometric features in the data, the model can predict the probability density distribution of features such as element position and color under specific conditions to support the generation of flat images. To achieve the construction of the prediction model, the sampling method of features, model optimization method, and data learning strategy is investigated. This thesis involves the design and implementation of a lossless/near-lossless compression system for high frame rate gaze camera image data, which is faced with the technical problems of high fidelity, strong real-time and reliable compression. The image single-frame lossless/near-loss-free compression ratio is generally low, and the compression ratio can be improved by using the correlation between image frames. In this paper, we study the application of lossless compression between image frames, the efficient computing structure of FPGA, and the on-board compression system. INDEX TERMS Virtual reality; graphic design; dynamic visual communication; image framing.

“…Elmqaddem N et al designed an anomaly detection method based on behavior patterns to detect the medical smartphone network (MSN) and judge the credibility of the node by identifying the difference in Euclidean distance between two behavior characteristics [24]. Papanastasiou G et al proposed IoT, a system for detecting infected IoT devices [25]. Compared with previous work, IoT uses a novel self-learning method to classify devices into device types and establish a normal communication configuration for each device, which can then be used to detect abnormal deviations in the communication mode [26].…”

This article studies the visual management of college assets under the changing environment of the Internet of Things, uses virtual reality technology to discuss the mechanism of its visualization, and studies the technical selection from the aspects of system architecture, database, and message middleware to provide reliable colleges and universities asset management, provide a complete authority distribution management mechanism, have a safe and reliable data storage mechanism and good scalability. And according to this goal, the overall architecture of the system is designed. Under this architecture, the main modules of the college asset management system divided into college asset information management, information release management, and other modules. To meet these functional modules, related diagrams are designed. The diagram creates a data table corresponding to it. The emphasis is on the systematic analysis of system performance and uses case modeling, static model, and dynamic model based on UML. The overall design of a three-tier logical structure including presentation layer, business logic layer, and data access layer, six functional modules including business process management, platform visualization management, application management, data storage, data processing, and data asset security control. Using the MySQL database and the database design method based on the E-R model, the definition of data entities was completed and the table structure design was carried out. It proved that the functions of the platform are in line with actual needs, and the performance can also meet the business requirements of the visualized management of college assets. It can manage data assets well and has high practical application value.
