“…Driven by the emergence of affordable head-mounted displays (HMDs), the popularity and consumption of CVR has greatly increased in recent years [44,45] and has encouraged its introduction into entertainment [71], education [29] and vocational training [32,60]. Two key attractions of HMDs are their large Field of View (FOV), which immerses users in virtual environments [18], and their capability to equip users with the freedom to look anywhere by altering their view of the scene using head movements [8,15]. The majority of CVR experiences, which are this paper's primary focus, are monoscopic, have fixed-viewpoints, and are consumed passively [45].…”

Filmmakers of panoramic videos frequently struggle to guide attention to Regions of Interest (ROIs) due to consumers' freedom to explore. Some researchers hypothesize that peripheral cues attract reflexive/involuntary attention whereas cues within central vision engage and direct voluntary attention. This mixed-methods study evaluated the effectiveness of using central arrows and peripheral flickers to guide and focus attention in panoramic videos. Twentyfive adults wore a head-mounted display with an eye tracker and were guided to 14 ROIs in two panoramic videos. No significant differences emerged in regard to the number of followed cues, the time taken to reach and observe ROIs, ROI-related memory and user engagement. However, participants' gaze travelled a significantly greater distance toward ROIs within the first 500 ms after flickeronsets compared to arrow-onsets. Nevertheless, most users preferred the arrow and perceived it as significantly more rewarding than the flicker. The findings imply that traditional attention paradigms are not entirely applicable to panoramic videos, as peripheral cues appear to engage both involuntary and voluntary attention. Theoretical and practical implications as well as limitations are discussed.

“…Additionally, text information presented on-screen was reported to be unsatisfactory. Despite numerous attempts to provide clear written messages in VR, reported difficulties in displaying on-screen text have persisted [30,31]. Nevertheless, a user-friendly software platform that includes elements that engage learners would be essential to eventually enhance motivation, knowledge retention, and critical-thinking skills.…”

Objectives Schizophrenia is one of the most prevalent mental illnesses contributing to national burden worldwide. It is well known that mental health nursing education, including clinical placement, is still insufficient to reach the optimal level of competency in nursing students. This study suggests a new form of mental health virtual reality (VR) simulation that is user-friendly and engaging to improve education about schizophrenia, thereby improving its treatment. Method A mixed-methods study was conducted with a total of 60 nursing students, using 360degree videos of five different scenarios reflecting clinical symptoms of schizophrenia patients and related treatment tasks delivered via head-mounted displays (HMDs). We used a 17-item quantitative questionnaire and a 7-item open-ended qualitative questionnaire to evaluate the ease of use and usefulness of the VR simulation program and to identify areas where further improvement is required. Results The VR simulation program was perceived as useful and exciting. Participants stressed that the high realism of the simulation increased their engagement in and motivation to learn about mental health nursing. Some participants made suggestions, such as further refining the picture and sound quality in order to achieve satisfactory educational outcomes. Conclusion VR simulation using 360-degree videos and HMDs could serve as an effective alternative form of clinical training in mental health nursing. Education could be enhanced by its benefits of being engaging and exciting, as reported by this study's participants.

The Immersive Accessibility Project (ImAc) explores how accessibility services can be integrated with 360 o video as well as new methods for enabling universal access to immersive content. ImAc is focused on inclusivity and addresses the needs of all users, including those with sensory or learning disabilities, of all ages and considers language and user preferences. The project focuses on moving away from the constraints of existing technologies and explores new methods for creating a personal experience for each consumer. It is not good enough to simply retrofit subtitles into immersive content: this paper attempts to disrupt the industry with new and often controversial methods.This paper provides an overview of the ImAc project and proposes guiding methods for subtitling in immersive environments. We discuss the current state-of-the-art for subtitling in immersive environments and the rendering of subtitles in the user interface within the ImAc project. We then discuss new experimental rendering modes that have been implemented Permission to make digital or hard copies of part or all of this work for personal or classroom use is granted without fee provided that copies are not made or distributed for profit or commercial advantage and that copies bear this notice and the full citation on the first page.
