“…On a general level, some user-centric VR gaming research has focused on hedonic or utilitarian perspective, but oftentimes separately. From the hedonic perspective, scholars have studied, for example, enjoyment (Frommel et al 2017;Lin et al 2018;Shafer et al 2019;Sweetser and Rogalewicz 2020), immersion and presence (e.g., Lemmens et al 2022;Navarro et al 2019;Pallavicini and Pepe 2019;Tan et al 2015;Winkler et al 2020), flow (e.g., Bian et al 2016;Bodzin et al 2021;Michailidis et al 2019;Pallavicini and Pepe 2019), negative emotional outcomes (Lavoie et al 2021), and general player experience (e.g., Huang 2019;Marre et al 2021;Tan et al 2015;Xu et al 2020) in VR games. Research has shown that VR games, in comparison with a desktop alternative, can provide the players with a higher degree of flow, a deeper immersion, a richer engagement with passive game elements (i.e., objects that players cannot directly interact with), and enhanced game experiences (e.g., Pallavicini and Pepe 2019;Tan et al 2015).…”

Virtual reality (VR) is considered as one of the technological megatrends of 2020s, and today, VR systems are used in various settings, digital gaming being among the most popular ones. However, there has been a dearth of understanding regarding the central factors behind VR gaming acceptance and use. The present study therefore aimed to explain the factors that drive the use and acceptance of VR games. We extended the hedonic-motivation system acceptance model with utilitarian and inconvenience factors to capture the pertinent features of VR systems more holistically. We proposed a theoretical model and analyzed it through covariance-based structural equation modeling using an online survey sample of 473 VR gamers. Our findings help explain the role of different antecedents behind VR gaming acceptance and demonstrate that VR gaming is driven more by the hedonic gaming aspects than by the utilitarian health and well-being aspects of VR games, enjoyment being the strongest driver behind VR gaming intention and immersion. Moreover, findings also suggested that use intentions and immersion levels are not significantly diminished by physical discomfort and VR sickness. The findings, which potentially extend to other VR systems as well, also pose important implications for the providers of VR games. As the main contribution, based on our empirical findings, we provide a greater theoretical understanding on VR gaming acceptance and use.

“…Technical advances in the development of virtual environments (VE) and virtual reality (VR) headsets and devices for the video games industry [46,47] or social media [48,49] have now made it possible to develop applications related to human-robot interaction. In particular, in mobile robot applications, some interesting works using VR can be found.…”

Virtual Reality-Based Interface for Advanced Assisted Mobile Robot Teleoperation

et al. 2022

This work proposes a new interface for the teleoperation of mobile robots based on virtual reality that allows a natural and intuitive interaction and cooperation between the human and the robot, which is useful for many situations, such as inspection tasks, the mapping of complex environments, etc. Contrary to previous works, the proposed interface does not seek the realism of the virtual environment but provides all the minimum necessary elements that allow the user to carry out the teleoperation task in a more natural and intuitive way. The teleoperation is carried out in such a way that the human user and the mobile robot cooperate in a synergistic way to properly accomplish the task: the user guides the robot through the environment in order to benefit from the intelligence and adaptability of the human, whereas the robot is able to automatically avoid collisions with the objects in the environment in order to benefit from its fast response. The latter is carried out using the well-known potential field-based navigation method. The efficacy of the proposed method is demonstrated through experimentation with the Turtlebot3 Burger mobile robot in both simulation and real-world scenarios. In addition, usability and presence questionnaires were also conducted with users of different ages and backgrounds to demonstrate the benefits of the proposed approach. In particular, the results of these questionnaires show that the proposed virtual reality based interface is intuitive, ergonomic and easy to use.

Industria 4.0: Desde La Perspectiva Organizacional

Los cambios a los que han dado lugar un sin número de tecnologías digitales en todos los ámbitos de la vida humana, pero especialmente los negocios, las tecnologías emergentes se han convertido en un tema de discusión recurrente en el ámbito académico y productivo, tanto para grandes empresas como para pequeñas y medianas empresas (Pymes) lo que las lleva a un proceso de transformación digital. El presente documento busca introducir tanto las definiciones básicas de las tecnologías emergentes, así como identificar desde diferentes fuentes, las interrelaciones y algunos usos que tales tecnologías tienen actualmente. Así mismo, a partir de ciertas herramientas de bibliometría, se presentan los resultados de un estudio exploratorio que busca identificar las tecnologías emergentes más relevantes en el ámbito mundial, a partir de 7575 referencias obtenidas de SCOPUS. Tal información fue indicativa del volumen de conocimiento recientemente generado y permitió señalar el grado de penetración de tales tecnologías en los sectores reales. Por otro lado, se esbozaron posibles formas de articulación entre las tecnologías para generar innovaciones, que tienden a difundirse rápidamente. Los resultados del estudio se resumen en la identificación de las interrelaciones más relevantes entre las tecnologías, indicando como conclusión una confluencia muy marcada hacia el desarrollo de conocimiento sobre inteligencia artificial, y cómo esta tecnología se viene convirtiendo en un modo en el que confluyen múltiples aplicaciones. De igual forma, se señalan los riesgos éticos que implica el desarrollo y uso de las tecnologías y cómo se tiende a monopolizar el control de la información por parte de los dueños de los algoritmos que son el motor de buena parte del desarrollo de las tecnologías emergentes.
