“…The user can move freely within the limits of the play area with wireless VR headsets without having to worry about hanging cables. Varjo XR-3, which was released in 2021, enables a high-resolution wide field of view augmented, virtual, and mixed-reality experiences (Goedicke et al, 2021). Experiencing extended reality is most affordable with mobile phones and tablets.…”

The use of extended reality (XR) technologies, namely Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR) and Mixed Reality(MR) in education, has attracted much attention in recent years. Since the middle of the 20th century, virtual reality (VR) has been a part of our lives. Today, technology has made virtual reality accessible to everyone. In the last ten years, virtual reality equipment has become suitable for individual use and has started to be used by large numbers of people. Virtual reality can now be used for educational purposes, including education virtual laboratories. The studies were carried out to reveal the advantages of virtual reality compared to traditional media tools, as well as the conclusion that a successful instructional design process plays a major role in the success of technology in education. In line with what has been mentioned, we review in this paper the historical development of virtual reality technologies, followed by the use of Extended reality technology in the field of education, including virtual laboratories. This paper is to argue and present evidence from extensive research that VR can be a valuable tool in engineering, such as virtual laboratories. As a result of the review we conducted, we were able to conclude that VR has a positive pedagogical and cognitive impact on engineering education, thus increasing students' understanding of the subjects, their grades and performance, and overall satisfaction with their education. Furthermore, VR, as a replacement for physical laboratories, can reduce university liability, infrastructure, and costs. It was also discovered that VR applications for education currently lack the integration of learning theories and objectives in engineering education. In this research, we aim to provide recommendations and guidelines for researchers who want to work in the field of virtual reality and to offer suggestions for virtual laboratories.

“…In particular, Holoride [12] and CarVR [11] use a vehicle's navigation and environment data to match VR experiences to the physical movements of the car. Other research has looked at in-car VR for driving simulations [8,9], productivity [16] and mindfulness [23], as well as explored wider issues such as social acceptability [40], and the challenges faced in facilitating correct operation of in-car XR [18]. However, VR applications do not tend to appropriate or augment reality, instead using the immersiveness of VR to construct alternative virtual worlds.…”

Autonomous cars offer passengers a rich platform for Augmented Reality entertainment, with complex sensing that can drive passenger experiences by tracking, appropriating and altering elements of reality. This paper forms an early exploration of in-car AR games, starting with how existing game genres might work within an AR vehicle context, appropriating elements of reality (e.g. other cars) into gameplay, and altering the appearance of reality in relation to game events (e.g. augmented cracks in car windows). We discuss results from focus groups exploring an initial AR game prototype, and an informal in-car evaluation of a follow-up prototype inspired by the focus groups. Broadly, we found that participants enjoyed using AR gaming in-car, noted the immersive impact of appropriating real-world elements into gameplay, and felt that it improved their experience of the journey. We reflect on the ways in which future AR passenger experiences might take advantage of the available sensing and environment to create engaging reality-based gameplay.

“…VR-OOM [15] and XR-OOM [13,14] are open-source software platforms to help researchers design in-vehicle VR and AR interfaces for drivers, respectively. Both are PC-based systems that use an IMU to detect vehicle rotation and OBD-II for velocity, while XR-OOM also uses LIDAR and a ZED2 camera to track the vehicles position within a known external environment.…”

“…However, we note once more that no consumer XR device currently provides this level of access to the outputs of their tracking implementations -typically only providing either IMU-based 3DoF, or positional tracking-based 6DoF pose, which is prone to errors/jitter as previously discussed. Where there is access to the cameras driving the tracking (often prevented for reasons of privacy) or where additional headset-mountable cameras (such as the ZED mini 14 ) can be utilized, this solution could be implemented by practitioners. However, we do not recommend pursuing this approach currently, given the performance challenges -requiring a low latency high accuracy high sample rate VO approach that does not additionally impact the performance of the standalone headset.…”
