“…While the idea of BioVRs may seem allusive, attempts to merge the fields of VR, artificial life, and AI have been around for decades [55], with more recent efforts emerging from the astonishing 'boost' in computer power of our generation [60,61]. To our knowledge, concepts similar to the one of BioVR, as presented in this paper, have never been tested and thus remain subject of future developments in the field of statistics and computational biology.…”

Technological advances made Virtual and Mixed Reality (VMR) accessible at our fingertips. However, only recently VMR has been explored for the teaching of biology. Here, we highlight how VMR applications can be useful in biology education, discuss about caveats related to VMR use that can interfere with learning, and look into the future of VMR applications in the field. We then propose that the combination of VMR with Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence can provide unprecedented ways to visualise how species evolve in self-sustained immersive virtual worlds, thereby transforming VMR from an educational tool to the centre of biological interest.

“…For example, Alexa, the virtual assistant developed by Amazon, is capable of interacting via voice, streaming podcasts, playing back music, making to-do lists, setting alarms, and providing real-time information, such as news, weather, traffic, and sports information. Such speech recognition technology allows AI administrative assistants to coordinate and arrange meetings between team members and external parties, contributing to more efficient accounting practices [48,49].…”

Recent developments in technology have introduced dramatic changes to the practice of the accounting profession. This paper provides a comprehensive review of current developments in big data, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and blockchain utilized in general business practice and by specialized practitioners in the accounting profession worldwide. This paper explores the evolution of the accounting profession following these recent technological developments and assesses the impact of future developments. Inherent challenges and opportunities posed by these new technologies pertaining to accounting professionals and accounting educators are also examined, including an increased demand for IT professionals with accounting experience as opposed to accounting major graduates. Considering the dramatic changes and developments of AI applications in accounting, this paper reflects how all these technologies and the associated requirements of job candidates will affect the desired capabilities of accounting graduates and provides further discussion regarding what higher institutions and their accounting graduates can do to adopt such changes.

“…Outside of games, AI can simulate virtual human, virtual nonhuman, crowds, and other representations in virtual environments for scientific simulation or other nongaming purposes [43]. Human-level AI agents are important ingredients in social virtual worlds with autonomous functions (e.g., navigation guidance) [44]. An artificial life environment can be created through individual or group learning to generate virtual creatures (e.g., dolphins) with autonomous behaviors to gain more knowledge on nature life [45].…”

A Study on Design Requirement Development and Satisfaction for Future Virtual World Systems

Virtual worlds have become global platforms connecting millions of people and containing various technologies. For example, No Man’s Sky (nomanssky.com), a cross-platform virtual world, can dynamically and automatically generate content with the progress of user adventure. AltspaceVR (altvr.com) is a social virtual reality platform supporting motion capture through Microsoft’s Kinect, eye tracking, and mixed reality extension. The changes in industrial investment, market revenue, user population, and consumption drive the evolution of virtual-world-related technologies (e.g., computing infrastructure and interaction devices), which turns into new design requirements and thus results in the requirement satisfaction problem in virtual world system architecture design. In this paper, we first study the new or evolving features of virtual worlds and emerging requirements of system development through market/industry trend analysis, including infrastructure mobility, content diversity, function interconnectivity, immersive environment, and intelligent agents. Based on the trend analysis, we propose a new design requirement space. We, then, discuss the requirement satisfaction of existing system architectures and highlight their limitations through a literature review. The feature-based requirement satisfaction comparison of existing system architectures sheds some light on the future virtual world system development to match the changing trends of the user market. At the end of this study, a new architecture from an ongoing research, called Virtual Net, is discussed, which can provide higher resource sufficiency, computing reliability, content persistency, and service credibility.
