1. 6. Virtual Reality for Enriched Rehabilitation of Stroke Patients with Spatial Neglect : Diagnostics and the Rehabilitation Effect on Spatial Attention and Neuronal Activity

   Författare :Helena Fordell; Jan Malm; Anders Eklund; Hanne Krarup Christensen; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Stroke; spatial neglect; rehabilitation; virtual reality; enriched environment; fMRI;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Approximately a third of all stroke patients develop spatial neglect, a debilitating symptom associated with poor outcome. Spatial neglect is clinically defined as a deficit in processing and responding to stimuli presented on the contralesional side of the body, or the space surrounding that side of the body. LÄS MER

3. 7. Defining Reality in Virtual Reality: Exploring Visual Appearance and Spatial Experience Focusing on Colour

   Författare :Beata Stahre Wästberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; architectural visualization; Virtual Reality; light; colour appearance; Visual appearance; Virtual Environment; simulation; spatial experience;

   Sammanfattning : Today, different actors in the design process have communication difficulties in visualizing and predictinghow the not yet built environment will be experienced. Visually believable virtual environments (VEs) can make it easier for architects, users and clients to participate in the planning process. LÄS MER

4. 8. Learning English in a Multi-User Virtual Environment : Exploring Factors Affecting Participation

   Författare :Airong Wang; Mats Deutschmann; Mercedes Rico Garcia; Mittuniversitetet; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Activity theory; Conversational Analysis; Discourse analysis; Ecology of language learning; Model of factors affecting participation; Multi-User Virtual Environment; Participation; Second Life; The sociocultural perspective on learning; Technology adoption;

   Sammanfattning : Online language learning and teaching is a field that has received a significant amount of research attention. What factors could affect student participation in simpler online learning environments has been investigated by researchers, but there has been limited study of factors affecting participation in complex Multi-User Virtual Environments.

5. 9. Experiencing sense of place in a virtual environment : real in the moment?

   Författare :Ingvar Tjøstheim; Rikard Harr; John Waterworth; Phil Turner; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; telepresence; perception; sense of place; virtual tourism; video-games; digital humaniora; digital humanities;

   Sammanfattning : The main goal of this thesis is to contribute to telepresence research by investigating a sightseeing experience in a virtual environment (VE) and by discussing insights from theories of telepresence, perception, experience of place, marketing and philosophy. The empirical work concerns a sightseeing experience, a visit to a city in a videogame (the VE). LÄS MER

7. 10. Connected Practice: The Dynamics of Social Interaction in Shared Virtual Environment

   Författare :Maria Spante; Ralph Schroeder; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; time; connected practice.; Shared virtual environments; virtual reality technology; dynamics; social interaction; practice; Informatik;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis investigates the phenomenon of social interaction in shared virtual environments (SVEs), supported by virtual reality (VR) systems over time. SVEs are computer generated 3D graphical spaces where geographically distributed people can meet and interact with each other in a graphical space. LÄS MER
