Emotions are fundamental for human beings and play an important role in human cognition. Emotion is commonly associated with logical decision making, perception, human interaction, and to a certain extent, human intelligence itself. With the growing interest of the research community towards establishing some meaningful “emotional” interactions between humans and computers, the need for reliable and deployable solutions for the identification of human emotional states is required. Recent developments in using electroencephalography (EEG) for emotion recognition have garnered strong interest from the research community as the latest developments in consumer-grade wearable EEG solutions can provide a cheap, portable, and simple solution for identifying emotions. Since the last comprehensive review was conducted back from the years 2009 to 2016, this paper will update on the current progress of emotion recognition using EEG signals from 2016 to 2019. The focus on this state-of-the-art review focuses on the elements of emotion stimuli type and presentation approach, study size, EEG hardware, machine learning classifiers, and classification approach. From this state-of-the-art review, we suggest several future research opportunities including proposing a different approach in presenting the stimuli in the form of virtual reality (VR). To this end, an additional section devoted specifically to reviewing only VR studies within this research domain is presented as the motivation for this proposed new approach using VR as the stimuli presentation device. This review paper is intended to be useful for the research community working on emotion recognition using EEG signals as well as for those who are venturing into this field of research.

“…VR environments were adopted very early for training in abstract or complex situations [12] . They have been revealed very useful for training in the cases when the possibility to perform in vivo situation is either difficult, expensive or dangerous ( e. g ., in spatial, military and nuclear areas) [13–17] . The immersive experience in an environment inspired by physically realistic phenomena in which it is possible to interact represents an important asset of VR: this helps users at developing an intuitive knowledge about the simulated system [18] .…”

We present a series of innovative serious games we develop since four years using Virtual Reality (VR) technology to teach battery concepts at the University (from undergraduate to doctorate levels) and also to the general public in the context of science festivals and other events. These serious games allow interacting with battery materials, electrodes and cells in an immersive way. They allow experiencing impossible situations in real life, such as building with hands battery active material crystal structures at the nanometer scale, flying inside battery composite electrodes to calculate their geometrical tortuosities at the micrometer scale, experiencing the electrochemical behavior of different battery types by driving an electric vehicle and interacting with a virtual smart electrical grid impacted by 3D‐printed devices operated from the real world. Such serious games embed mathematical models with different levels of complexity representing the physical processes at different scales. We describe the technical characteristics of our VR serious games and their teaching goals, and we provide some discussion about their impact on the motivation, engagement and learning following four years of experimentation with them. Finally, we discuss why our VR serious games have also the potential to pave the way towards an augmented era in the battery field by supporting the R&D activities carried out by scientists and engineers.

“…They have distinctive roles in helping users carry out certain tasks more efficiently. VR is often used for simulation and training when the actual content/scenario in the real world is expensive to design (e.g., visiting the inside of a volcano [6], practicing surgery and simulations [7], examining a new house design [8], engaging in disaster response training [9]) or impossible to recreate (e.g., ancient artifacts [10] or a military battle [11]). On the other hand, AR is more focused on providing contextual information (e.g., annotations [12]), presentations [13], mapping virtual objects with the physical world [14] (i.e., automatically situating an object on the targeted floor).…”

Traditional in-app virtual reality (VR)/augmented reality (AR) applications pose a challenge of reaching users due to their dependency on operating systems (Android, iOS). Besides, it is difficult for general users to create their own VR/AR applications and foster their creative ideas without advanced programming skills. This paper addresses these issues by proposing an interactive extended reality toolkit, named BlocklyXR. The objective of this research is to provide general users with a visual programming environment to build an extended reality application for digital storytelling. The contextual design was generated from real-world map data retrieved from Mapbox GL. ThreeJS was used for setting up, rendering 3D environments, and controlling animations. A block-based programming approach was adapted to let users design their own story. The capability of BlocklyXR was illustrated with a use case where users were able to replicate the existing PalmitoAR utilizing the block-based authoring toolkit with fewer efforts in programming. The technology acceptance model was used to evaluate the adoption and use of the interactive extended reality toolkit. The findings showed that visual design and task technology fit had significantly positive effects on user motivation factors (perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness). In turn, perceived usefulness had statistically significant and positive effects on intention to use, while there was no significant impact of perceived ease of use on intention to use. Study implications and future research directions are discussed.
