“…One potential use case is manual handling of goods where exoskeletons enable humans to lift heavier items and reduce the pressure in the lower back area (see, for example, the Cray X exoskeleton 8 ). The concept of an exoskeleton can be extended to virtual exoskeletons where a robot placed in a remote location is operated in synchrony with the user's movements (Tachi, 2013). The use of a virtual exoskeleton can be highly immersive if the user wears VR glasses and sees from the robot's perspective.…”

“…This type of remote presence based on human-robot interaction is especially useful if the operating environment is hazardous and therefore placing a human operator at the site is not safe. Examples of use cases include factories, atomic power plants, assembly operations in space or the sea, and search and rescue operations (Kim et al, 2015;Tachi, 2013).…”

Human augmentation is a field of research that aims to enhance human abilities through medicine or technology. This has historically been achieved by consuming chemical substances that improve a selected ability or by installing implants which require medical operations. Both of these methods of augmentation can be invasive. Augmented abilities have also been achieved with external tools, such as eyeglasses, binoculars, microscopes or highly sensitive microphones. Lately, augmented reality and multimodal interaction technologies have enabled non-invasive ways to augment human.In this article, we first discuss the field and related terms. We provide relevant definitions based on the present understanding of the field. This is followed by a summary of existing work in augmented senses, action, and cognition. Our contribution to the future includes a model for wearable augmentation. In addition, we present a call for research to realize this vision. Then, we discuss future human abilities. Wearable technologies may act as mediators for human augmentation, in the same manner as eyeglasses once revolutionized human vision. Non-invasive and easy-to-use wearable extensions will enable lengthening the active life for aging citizens or supporting the full inclusion of people with special needs in society, but there are also potential problems. Therefore, we conclude by discussing ethical and societal issues: privacy, social manipulation, autonomy and side effects, accessibility, safety and balance, and unpredictable future.

“…VRE provides opportunities for students to engage and experiment. The sense of presence in this virtual environment is characterized by real-time interactions in 3D space and the representation of users through avatars, as reported Tachi (2013). We have moved part of the classroom into the VRE, especially home training in the form of blended learning.…”

GeoGebra software, with its constructivist teaching approach, proves to be a powerful tool for visualizing geometry and preparing future teachers for an immersive educational experience using Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR). By integrating VR and AR capabilities into GeoGebra, educators can revolutionize geometry learning, offering students a dynamic and interactive environment to explore geometric concepts. With VR, students can step into virtual geometric worlds, enhancing their spatial understanding and promoting hands-on learning. They can manipulate shapes, explore 3D constructions, and visualize abstract concepts in a tangible way. On the other hand, AR complements real-world environments by overlaying virtual geometric elements, making learning contextual and engaging. For future teachers, this integration serves as a valuable training ground for incorporating cutting-edge technology into their classrooms. As they experience combined VR and AR-enhanced geometry lessons, they are gaining their confidence and expertise. In this way, GeoGebra empowers educators to create transformative learning opportunities, fosters their deeper understanding of geometry. It also nurtures a generation of tech-savvy teachers ready to shape the future of education.

“…Utilization of the Unity 3D software, a multi-platform game engine for creating games particularly Virtual Reality that provides an interactive walkthrough where users can experience and freely explore the virtual environment (Ling, 2015); a concept that can free humans from the restrictions of time and space by allowing humans to exist virtually to remote locations without travel is called Human Augmentation (AH). It augments humans not only in their senses and intellect but also in their abilities and motions to rise above time and space, which is termed as telexistence (Tachi, 2013).…”

Purpose–The study aims to develop an application that will serve as an alternative learning tool for learning Asian Studies. The delivery of lessons into a virtual reality game dependson the pace of students. The developed application comprises several more features that enable users to get valuable information from an immersive environment.Method–The researchers used Rapid Application Development (RAD) in developing the application. It follows phases such as requirement planning, user design, construction, and cutover. Two sets of questionnaires were developed, one for the teachers and another for the students. Then, testing and evaluation were conducted through purposive sampling to select the respondents.Results–The application was overall rated as 3.56 which is verbally interpreted as very good. The result was based on the system evaluation using ISO 9126 in terms of functionality, usability, content, reliability, and performance. 476Conclusion–The developed application meets the objectives to provide an alternative learning tool for learning Asian Studies. The application is well commended and accepted by the end-users to provide an interactive and immersive environment for students to learn at their own pace. Recommendations–Further enhancement of the audio, gameplay, and graphics of the tool. Schools should take into consideration the adoption of the Asian Studies Virtual Reality as a good alternative tool for their teachers and students to teach and learn Asian Studies. The use of more 3D objects relevant to the given information to enhance game experience may be considered.A databank for the quiz questions that will be loaded into the game should also be considered.Research Implications–The integration of modern technology in education has been a vital part of the learning process, especially when technological resources are available. Development and adaptation of this application will promote an alternative way of independent learning among students and will give them a better understanding of Asian Studies at their own pace.
