“…However, it is often criticized for being costly and time-intensive. In this vein, a metaverse that can provide repeat drills, interactive learning, and experience is a viable option ( 34 ). The metaverse is an ecosystem built by integrating digital twins, augmented reality, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and other technologies ( 20 ).…”

Safety training (ST) is essential in avoiding unsafe behavior of construction workers. With the rise of metaverse technology, metaverse safety training (MST) has gradually become a new model to guide construction workers in safety production. An in-depth study of construction workers’ willingness to accept the metaverse safety training (WAMST) helps improve its effectiveness, but studies need to pay more attention to it. This study constructs a conceptual model of WAMST for construction workers, and the influencing factors of WAMST are explained based on the extended Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). It established a Structural equation modeling to verify the relationship between influencing factors. An example verifies the feasibility of the model. The results show that the framework significantly contributes to the willingness of construction workers to participate and improves safety awareness. Specifically, performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and convenient conditions significantly affect the construction workers’ willingness to accept. Convenient conditions have a direct effect on actual behavior. Willingness to accept plays a mediating role between performance expectancy and actual behavior. Perceived trust moderates the effect between willingness to accept and actual behavior, and the force of positive interpretation increases proportionally. It confirms how to improve the safety capacity of construction workers and provides references for governments, enterprises, and projects to formulate ST strategies.

“…In particular, the optimisation concerned two aspects: the graphic quality and the rendering speed. We sought an acceptable compromise to obtain high graphic quality, a low loading time, independence from the user's operating systems [9], and a good rendering speed, even on hardware with little computational power. To ensure acceptable performance, the whole scenario was set up as 'static', and we pre-calculated the lighting.…”

Recent global advancements in ICT technologies have motivated our research to assess the impact of Virtual and Augmented Reality on teaching and learning. In particular, we conducted a rigorous study on the effects on learning by subjecting classes of students to an experience of these emerging technologies and measuring their feelings before and after the experiment through questionnaires. We carried out the research involving three high schools and a total of 162 students aged between 15 and 20. During the meetings, we made available two applications that we developed. The first is a Virtual Reality environment that enables the user to explore a room in which the system spawns three-dimensional objects defined by the teacher. The objects may represent mathematical functions, physics simulations, scenes relating to historical re-enactments, etc. The second is an Augmented Reality smartphone application that allows three-dimensional figures to be observed via the smartphone screen by framing a marker printed on paper. Both applications are realised with free software, trying to minimise the technical requirements for their operation and guaranteeing reliability and usability. The work concludes by analysing the results obtained and comparing the effectiveness of the two technologies tested. Results of tests conducted in three Italian schools show that Augmented Reality is seen as a useful tool in education by about 94.43%. Importantly, the use of these technologies requires an inclusive design that involves all students, regardless of their level of familiarity with the technology. The overall analysis reveals that both technologies performed well, and students value them for their intuitiveness and level of immersion. The in presence experience is more effective for using immersive applications fostered by student collaboration.

“…In recent years the use of VR has increased considerably, being applied in different areas such as health [25], tourism [26], training [27], or industry [28], just to name a few. Generally, these applications are created by experts, with advanced knowledge on programming, 3D modeling, geometry, etc., using specific software tools such as Unity [29], Unreal Engine [30], CryEngine [31], etc.…”

Authoring Tools for Procedural Modeling of Virtual Reality-Based Rehabilitation Exercises

Patient compliance is one of the key factors for rehabilitation programs to be effective. To increase patients' engagement game technologies and virtual reality can be applied. However, the advantages provided by these techniques are not enough to be applied in real scenarios since experts do not always have the required technological skills. To overcome this limitation, a new virtual reality-based rehabilitation system that combines virtual reality, procedural modelling, and authoring tools, is proposed.The system provides easy-to-use editors for the experts to prepare rehabilitation exercises that will take place in an expanding and varied open virtual world created using procedural generation strategies. Patients using a virtual reality headset explore this immersive virtual scenario and solve challenges by applying actions according to their rehabilitation goals and receiving success/failure feedback. While the patient interacts with the exercises through immersive virtual reality, the expert supervises the patient's actions via a computer monitor where the exercise is displayed at the same time as in the headset. The paper presents the system and the evaluation that has been carried out to set the system configuration parameters that allow non-experts the easy creation of varied open virtual worlds for rehabilitation purposes. In addition, it collects the first impressions of rehabilitators which have been very satisfactory.
