This article presents the results of an experiment on creating an electronic textbook for universities and programs of additional professional education using virtual and augmented reality technologies and evaluating the results of testing the textbook on the basis of the State University of Management. The topic of the electronic textbook concerns the organization of the security service of accommodation facilities. The authors provide a description of the electronic textbook, its structure, main interactive elements, the progress of work, talk about the difficulties that they encountered. The working group on the creation of the textbook included methodologists, psychologists, specialists from the security services of Moscow hotels and specialists in information technology. Teams of key developers - the State University of Management, the Lotte group of companies, the LLC ITRON limited liability company, and the Rusays Publishing House - worked in partnership. Conclusions are made about the possibilities of using virtual and augmented reality technologies in educational activities. Augmented reality technology is used to create a mobile application that displays educational materials with reference to real-life objects according to special markers. This technology allows you to make the textbook unique for a specific object (office, building, structure, landscape). The results of the training using an electronic participant are presented. The peculiarities of the psychological perception of educational material and the effectiveness of the new format of presentation of the educational environment are noted.

“…The vital and basic concept for understanding tourism experiences is flow, which is regarded as one of the best approaches to judge tourists' happiness, satisfaction and behavior loyalty (Zhang et al, 2019). When an individual reaches a flow state, he/she enjoys himself/herself and feels time pass faster, as he/she is totally involved in a given activity and nothing else seems to matter (Huang et al, 2020).…”

“…Compared with the empirical supports for the positive effects of flow experience on behavior intention, aspects that may improve flow experience remain unexplored (Zhang et al, 2019). An exception is Huang et al (2020), who have integrated physiological reactions with psychological perceptions to explore the influences of VR experience types (sightseeing vs interactive) on adults' flow experiences with VR videos. Studies on the determinants of flow experiences with VR have been scarce, particularly the effects of VR video content (Merkx and Nawijn, 2021).…”

“…First, enjoyment is the vital construct of a successful flow experience, meaning that when a person enjoys an activity, they lose self-consciousness (Wu et al, 2020). Comments such as "I found the activity enjoyable" were usually adopted to measure flow experiences (Huang et al, 2020). Second, time distortion refers to an altered sense of time (Csikszentmihalyi, 1990).…”

“…Second, time distortion refers to an altered sense of time (Csikszentmihalyi, 1990). When individuals intensely concentrated on an activity, they lose track of time and feel time passing quickly (Huang et al, 2020).…”

Purpose Drawn from flow theory, this study aims to explore children’s flow experiences in virtual reality (VR) by examining the relationships between VR experience length, arousal and flow experience (time estimation and enjoyment). Design/methodolog/approach A within-subject laboratory experiment was conducted using 9D VR and iMEC 12. A total of 47 children participated in this study. Both survey data and physiological data were collected. Findings The results revealed that longer VR videos evoked lower arousal, higher respiratory rates and less enjoyment among child participants than shorter videos. This study also verified the mediating effects of respiratory rates measured arousal on time estimations and self-reported arousal in terms of enjoyment. Originality/value This study fills a research gap related to children’s flow experiences in VR, as children’s voices remain limited in tourism research. The study findings offer meaningful insights for destination marketers to leverage the growth of parent-child tours and the increasing effects of VR on the tourism industry.

VR and Nostalgia: Using Animation Content at Theme Parks to Boost Visitor Experience

Interviews with experts and visitors conducted using a convenience sampling method were combined with archival research to understand the effect of adding VR technology to Korean theme park attractions, as well as to look at how nostalgic attributes in animation content can enhance the immersive experiences of the visitors. The interviews showed that having sophisticated, narrative driven, high-quality content is more important to visitors than the extent to which the VR technology is state-of-the-art. Findings also suggest that adopting existing wellknown animation content to VR attractions will result in visitors experiencing better emotional connectedness, enhanced presence, and fuller immersion. Finally, ensuring that the quality-driven VR content evokes nostalgia will lead to repeat visitation by visitors.
