👉 Feedback on the mobility of Amar Tious, co-funded by ED - EUR MaSTIC / LS2N. Funding application forms are available on the EUR MaSTIC and ED MaSTIC websites. "During my first year as a PhD student in the Laboratoire des Sciences du Numérique de Nantes (LS2N) IPI team, I had the opportunity to take part in the 'Social XR' Spring School organised by the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) research unit in Amsterdam (Netherlands). The initiative came from Irene Viola and Pablo César, two key figures in the XR and QoE field. A team from this laboratory is working specifically on the interaction between social interaction and extended reality (XR). This Spring School is therefore directly linked to the field of application of my research topic: "Visual improvement of decoded point cloud rendering for eXtended Reality" (PhD supervisor: Vincent Ricordel + Toinon Vigier). After a one-day welcome and presentation of the laboratory and its activities, around fifty participants (PhD students, post-docs) and speakers (lecturers and industrialists), mainly from Europe and South America, were able to share their knowledge in the field of XR in general, but also more specifically on the evaluation of quality of experience, virtual reality for psychology, the standardisation of processes, etc. and also a presentation on how to respond to a call for projects. Each doctoral and post-doctoral student had the opportunity to present his or her topic in the form of a poster. Each evening there was a Social Event to discover the city: a pétanque evening, a visit to the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision, a boat trip on the Amstel, etc. It was an opportunity to discuss research topics and collaborations with the other participants and speakers. During this week, I could also meet in person with colleagues from Technical University of Madrid, Matteo Dal Magro and Jesús Gutiérrez Sánchez. Together, we are working on a cross-lab experiment about volumetric video quality assessment in XR, combining our areas of interest and objectives. We're looking into possible mobilities to take full advantage of this collaboration. Social XR was a stimulating week for learning about the state of the art and the latest advances in this field, as well as discovering research applications and techniques to be exploited. By meeting other PhD students and young researchers working on subjects close to my own, the week also helped me to build up my international network. The eco gesture: 6h30 train journey."

Cassie Myers, SJSU writer and STEM copy editor, on my project team's Virtual Reality (VR) Linear Algebra modules, funded by the National Science Foundation: Seeing the two vectors extending into space [in VR] and how they became a colorful plane when connected helped me understand (even in 20 minutes) two basic linear algebra concepts: the fact that a vector is essentially a line in one dimension that continues infinitely, and that a two-dimensional object is a plane where two vectors intersect. And now that I’ve experienced these concepts visually, I’ll have a much better base-level understanding of vectors (like any other student in the theoretical course) that will help me with all the other linear algebra concepts. It also helps that the VR environment is pretty, stark and soothing. It doesn’t feel like a classroom; if anything, it feels like a game. Even my English-major fingers were itching to pull the VR trigger and play with those vectors. As it turns out, what I was doing (and feeling) was what’s called “embodied cognition,” which sounds appropriately sci-fi for the VR setting, but also has roots in educational research. It means that when you see and feel something with your own body, you learn it more quickly and more deeply. “It’s like ‘my actions determine the knowledge that I generate from the space itself,’” explains Rivera. “So the idea is that if students are immersed in VR, they’ll be able to understand the geometric relationships and then convey what they see more precisely in mathematical form.” Here's a link to Cassie's full blog:

#NEWS The Future of Education Gets a Makeover! Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality, along with Artificial Intelligence, are revolutionizing learning experiences. Imagine strolling through university campuses from the comfort of your home, getting a feel for the atmosphere, and envisioning your future. But it's not just about sightseeing. Virtual visits spark creativity and ignite passions, allowing students to explore diverse fields of study with boundless curiosity. Now is possible to step into virtual environments where history comes alive, biology specimens can be examined up close, and mathematical concepts manifest in stunning 3D models. But it doesn't stop there. AI tutors can provide personalized feedback tailored to each student's learning style, ensuring no one gets left behind and much more! The future of AR in Education is here, and it's filled with endless possibilities. #virtualreality #storytelling #education #technology #innovation #learning #development #empathy #future #immersion #headset #vrkit #sustainability #creativity #applevisionpro #metaverse

Can AI take teaching 'out of the Victorian ages'? In a class of 30 children, no two learn the same way and a teacher does not have time to instruct them all differently. But artificial intelligence does - and across the East of England, it is being used to modernise and personalise education. The aim is to ensure no child gets left behind and that learning is engaging, but how can teachers ensure that technology is not abused? In a hangar at West Suffolk College in Bury St Edmunds lies an XR Virtual Reality Lab. This £2m futuristic-looking pod, built using government funding, uses AI to create virtual 3D worlds that students can access through headsets or tablets, immersing them in their subjects. It also "gamifies" the curriculum to engage students. It is the pride and joy of Nikos Savvas, the chief executive of the Eastern Education Group which operates several colleges in the region. He says: "We teach in an antiquated way which only works for the minority. We need to move out of the Victorian age. Why can't learning be fun?" Mr Savvas believes most people learn best through experience. "We tested this with primary school children. They were taught traditionally about ancient Egypt and then asked to write about it. "Next, they were given a headset which allowed them to walk through the pyramids in a virtual world. You should have heard their shrieks of joy. "When they wrote about Egypt for a second time, the difference was incredible." The technology is used for many courses. For example, engineering students can meet in a virtual room and work together to build a plane engine. Tom Lloyd, who runs the lab, says "It gives them confidence and experience before working with real parts, which are expensive and can be difficult to access". But is there a danger that students, who already live in a screen-reliant society, will be over-stimulated by yet more gamification? Mr Savvas believes that done properly, the answer is 'no'. "We ensure there is a balance between classroom, outdoor and virtual learning. That protects mental health," he says. Few places in the country have facilities like this and Mr Savvas hopes the trials he is running allow others to follow. But AI does not have to be this costly to bring benefits.

🔬📚 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐕𝐢𝐜'𝐬 𝐒𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐨 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐋𝐚𝐛 𝐤𝐞𝐲 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 🔬📚 In the realm of education, Virtual Reality (VR) tools have often been met with skepticism, especially among science educators. "The value of a real experiment is an ability to verify that the events from textbooks occur in nature exactly as described. The virtual experiment gives a predefined result so its value is negative, rather than zero”. But at Vic's Science Studio Chemistry Lab, we're rewriting the narrative on VR lab solutions. While most VR labs offer predefined event scenarios, our approach is different. We're proud to introduce a 𝒅𝒊𝒈𝒊𝒕𝒂𝒍 𝒄𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍 𝒍𝒂𝒃 experience. Our solution not only simulates the environment but also replicates the behavior of objects in alignment with the principles of physics and chemistry. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐮𝐬 𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭? Every moment our model calculates the exact chemical composition in every single vessel in the lab and is stored on our servers. This means that, for example, when you mix the aluminum salt solution with alkali, the precipitate will form only if the amount of alkali solution added is not in excess, mirroring the real-life chemistry precisely. 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫? It liberates us from rigid scenarios! With our platform, students and teachers alike can mix compounds in any proportion, confident that the resulting reactions will adhere to chemical principles accurately.
