“…Many different devices are available on the market, however for our application, LEAP Motion (https://www.leapmotion. com/) provides the best solution [11], as its small sized, non-contact optical motion sensor can be fixed onto the VR headset itself and it does not disturb the free movement of the user [12]. The sensor recognizes features of the human hand and is able to build up a skeleton using the position of the users' real hand and fingers.…”

Many industries, such as nuclear power plants, chemical industry, oil and gas industry have dangerous working environments and hazardous conditions for employees. Maintenance, inspection and decommissioning activities in these safety-critical areas mean a serious risk, downtime is a significant financial loss. The Virtual Reality Training Platform is reflecting on this shortcoming, by providing the possibility for maintenance workers to be trained and prepared for unexpected scenarios, and to learn complex maintenance protocols without being exposed to unnecessary danger, like high temperature, radiation, etc. Employees can have training for equipment maintenance, dismantling of facilities at closed NPP Units. One of the most significant and unique added value of the immersive virtual reality solution is that the operator can experience lifelike emergencies (detonation, shutdown) under psychological pressure, while all of the physiology indicators can be monitored like eye-tracking. Users can work together anywhere in the world. A huge financial outage in industrial production is the preparation and maintenance downtime, which can be significantly reduced by the Virtual Training platform. This method can increase the accuracy, safety, reliability, and accountability of the maintenance and decommissioning procedures, while operational costs can be reduced as well.

“…Application of VR simulation systems in dentistry is still considered to be a challenge even though its application in different aspects of medical training such as laparoscopic surgery [40], etc., are evident in reality. The difference with dental instruments in type, shape, speed and diversity of oral tissues such as gingiva, multilayer teeth and bone with their own complexity contributes to the reason for difficulty in application of the systems [27].…”

Machines can seldom replace dentists in rightly handling the patients with optimistic human insight, considerations, creative planning and the monitoring of psychological acceptance and comfort experienced by any patient with the rehabilitation done. Intelligent computer related armamentarium with software can still help dental practitioners detect typical medical and dental signs and classify them according to certain rules more effectively. Based on image analysis algorithms, CAD systems can be used to look for signs of any tooth pathology that can be spotted in dental X-ray or cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. Applying computer vision algorithms to high-resolution CBCT slices helps to a great extent in diagnosing periapical lesions like granulomas, cysts, etc., and can help creating 3-D model of a root canal that reflects its shape with sufficient precision facilitating an optimum endodontic treatment planning. Hence, computer vision systems are already able to speed up the diagnostic process and provide a valuable second opinion in doubtful cases. This can lead a dentist and the patient thoroughly experience an optimistic acceptance and satisfaction of the treatment done.

“…La représentation est mise en rapport avec la simulation au niveau du réalisme : selon cet angle d'approche, la simulation implique un photoréalisme particulièrement dynamique, vecteur d'interactivité avec le participant. Pour Ryan 18 , la simulation constitue une forme interactive de représentation. La chercheuse s'appuie sur les travaux de Friedman, pour qui la simulation consiste dans un « map-in-time » (une élaboration en temps réel) comprenant une dimension narrative.…”

The concept of immersion is becoming increasingly successful on both sides of the Atlantic, be it with artists, cultural actors or researchers. Indeed, a growing number of artists are relying on the notion of immersion to define their work. The term's pervasiveness has done nothing to harm its popularity, but has rather extended its scope to include a wide range of practices from various disciplines. Cinema and video games are the obvious examples, but we can also name theatre, installation, performance, dance and the fine arts. The concept of immersion has been employed in such an intensive manner that it is becoming more and more metaphorical, sometimes even impenetrable and contradictory. We thus find ourselves faced with the following question: to what extent can the idea of immersion constitute a paradigm, taking into account the specificity of the varied devices and issues emerging as a result of aesthetic and/or ludic steps? How does immersive dramaturgy make use of intermediality and interaction? In this article, we will put forward a definition of immersive theatre and consequently its dramaturgical aspects. In this paper, we will suggest a definition of immersive theatre as a fluctuating interaction between the real and the imaginary, made up of three stages experienced by the spectator: firstly physical integration, secondly sensory and dramaturgical immersion and finally bodily indeterminacy.
