“…The components of this GUI (see Figure 4) are video (MPEG4 codec), chat, ppt presentations, 3D space, and management window (with the list of students online and of those making a reservation). In particular, 3D contents in the lecture session are realized in Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) and controlled by Java applications to obtain highly interactive and immersive worlds, whose behavior is modified by user actions [6] in real-time. 3D Studio Max, VIZ and Maya, among others, can be used to generate and export nonelementary environments in VRML files format.…”

The Virtual Immersive Learning (VIL) test bench implements a virtual collaborative immersive environment, capable of integrating natural contexts and typical gestures, which may occur during traditional lectures, enhanced with advanced experimental sessions. The system architecture is described, along with the motivations, and the most significant choices, both hardware and software, adopted for its implementation. The novelty of the approach essentially relies on its capability of embedding functionalities that stem from various research results (mainly carried out within the VICOM national project), and "putting the pieces together" in a well-integrated framework. These features, along with its high portability, good flexibility, and, above all, low cost, make this approach appropriate for educational and training purposes, mainly concerning measurements on telecommunication systems, at universities and research centers, as well as enterprises. Moreover, the methodology can be employed for remote access to and sharing of costly measurement equipment in many different activities. The immersive characteristics of the framework are illustrated, along with performance measurements related to a specific application.

In particular, 3D contents in the lecture session are realized in VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) and controlled by Java applications [2]. They allow navigation in the 3D environment, management of collisions among 3D objects, visualization of the avatars of other users moving in the environment, visualization of reservation events and information about users, search of an avatar by name and selection of a laboratory session.…”

The Virtual Immersive Learning (VIL) test-bed implements a virtual collaborative immersive environment, capable of integrating natural contexts and typical gestures, which may occur during traditional lectures, enhanced with advanced experimental sessions. The main aim of the paper is to describe the test-bed motivations, as well as the most significant choices, both hardware and software, adopted for its implementation. The novelty of the authors' approach essentially relies on its capability of remarking and emphasizing results that are the output of the national project VICOM, and "putting the pieces together" in a well-integrated framework. These features, along with its high portability, good flexibility, and, above all, low cost, make this approach appropriate for educational and training purposes, mainly concerning measurements on telecommunication systems, at universities and research centers, as well as enterprises. Moreover, the methodology can be employed for remote access to and sharing of costly measurement equipment in many different fields of activity.
