Abstract-After having carried out a historical review and identifying the state of the art in relation to the interfaces for the exploration of scientific articles, the authors propose a model based in an immersive virtual environment, natural user interfaces and natural language processing, which provides an excellent experience for the user and allows for better use of some of its capabilities, for example, intuition and cognition in 3-dimensional environments. In this work, the Oculus Rift and Leap Motion Hardware devices are used. This work aims to contribute to the proposal of a tool which would facilitate and optimize the arduous task of reviewing literature in scientific databases. The case study is the exploration and information retrieval of scientific articles using ALICIA (Scientific database of Perú). Finally, conclusions and recommendations for future work are laid out and discussed.

“…• Thoughts, which appeal to the intellect in order to create cognitive experiences, that solve problems and attract consumers creatively; which can be implemented using metaphors and even avatars [50], defined as digital objects, which can represent people, animals or any object that represents information corresponding to the need and preferences of the consumer.…”

After conducting the historical review of marketing and especially experiential marketing, which considers various types of experiences such as sensations, feelings, thoughts, actions and relationships, seeking in the consumer greater satisfaction and therefore greater effectiveness in the action of marketing, as well as establishing the state of the art of immersive technologies and their applications in marketing, the authors propose a software architecture model for hotel services, which includes the description of hardware and software elements for development and implementation. The model would make it possible to bring customers closer to experiences that are very close to reality, based on their profiles and characteristics, previously treated by a recommendation module included in the proposal, a fact that supports the decision of purchase, with a high degree of adaptation to their needs and requirements. The proposal and development of the model with attributes of originality, aims to contribute to the development and technological innovation of marketing in the hotel industry. Finally, conclusions and recommendations for future work are established.

“…As students differ in their interaction styles, interaction with virtual environment should be intuitive, understandable and well-known. User interface with those characteristics is called a Natural User Interface (NUI) and includes the use of devices that enable such interaction, such as Leap Motion [Lin16].…”

“…Authors investigated different interaction techniques for immersive virtual environments including selection techniques and concluded that some of them are less intuitive than others, e.g. manipulation by gestures is less intuitive than direct manipulation in which 1 EM Field by D.

Virtual reality (VR) technology offers numerous benefits in different application areas, especially in education. VR brings new approaches to learning that can make the education process more attractive, while at the same time learners can develop creativity and innovativeness. Despite the possible benefits that VR can offer, the use of VR is still not widespread for educational purposes. Furthermore, the potential of VR for assistive technologies in the Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) domain is recognized but has not been fully exploited. In this paper, development of an elementary mathematical virtual classroom prototype based on Oculus Rift and Leap Motion devices is described. The learning concept used in the prototype was taken from the state-of-the-art AAC application for mobile devices that introduces children with the concept of quantity which is one of the preconditions for adopting the concept of number. To analyze user's satisfaction with the application and acceptance of a new technology in general, user evaluation of the developed prototype was conducted. In general, a positive feedback from users without disabilities suggests that it makes sense to combine VR elements with education as well as AAC technologies. Contributing factors, such as the level of immersion in VR environments, unnatural behavior of virtual hands, and the level of familiarity with the VR technology, are identified as some of the most important aspects that need to be considered in the follow-up studies concerning users with disabilities (i.e. children with complex communication needs).
