“…Both virtual reality (VR) and immersive projection display systems have a wide range of use, from Gaming to simulation training. As proposed by Rory Clifford et al [4], Virtual reality has been utilized for training in all disciplines. Virtual Situation Awareness training is used effectively as a training tool, proposed to be less hazardous, lower in cost, and could create better learning outcomes than performing field tasks alone.…”

The advancements in immersive technologies allow us to create more sophisticated environments designed to help engage users by merging the physical world with a digital or simulated reality. These can range from completely immersive virtual environments to mixed reality immersive environments, where the virtual world and the real world collide. Virtual reality is a completely immersive environment where the users' reality is replaced with a simulated environment, and the hardware works to convince the user that they are in a different world. In contrast, augmented reality is a mixed type of reality, combining both the virtual and the natural world by augmenting the real world with digital assets and components. While both types of experiences contribute to creating rich collaborative environments, a limitation, and sometimes inconvenience, is present with the requirement of wearing a head-mounted device (HMD), creating restriction that prevents users from having physical interactions with others. Rather than interacting in the virtual space, we propose a concept that provides the structure for a physical space where users can interact with the shared mixed reality environment, an environment projected to help create the collaborative aspect in this project without any wearable devices. This paper will present the developed system and implemented four-dimensional interactions and demonstrate the feasibility of the structured experience we have created.

“…First of all, Clifford et al (2018) did study the different benefits of visualizing through HDTV, VR goggles and cylindrical simulation projection display. The results clearly include that HDTV is less efficient for situation awareness acquisition in the domain of air attack than VR devices.…”

Virtual Reality (VR) is often used for its ability to mimic reality. However, VR can also be used for its ability to escape reality. In that case, on the one hand VR provides a visualization environment where the user's senses are still in a familiar context (one can see if something is in front, behind, up, down, far or close), yet on the other hand, VR allows to escape the usual limits of reality by providing a way to turn abstract concepts into concrete and interactive objects. In this paper, the dynamic management of a complex industrial system (a supply chain) is enabled in a VR prototypical environment, through the management of a physical trajectory that can be deflected by the impact of any potentialities such as risks or opportunities, seen as physical objects in the performance space.

“…There are multiple potential benefits of using the VRT. First, training smokers to respond to a potentially tempting situation will be more effective if the therapy can mimic those situations more closely [42,43], and VR has been shown to create a stronger feeling of being immersed than 2D images [44][45][46]. Second, VR offers a safe environment for coping skills [47].…”

“…Cravings in non-VRT settings are usually elicited by using smoking-related paraphernalia [97], 2D images of cigarettes and scenes with people smoking [19], and imaginary procedures where participants are instructed to imagine themselves in a (personalized) high-risk situation [98]. VR can create a more immersive experience [44][45][46], which may add to the effectiveness of the therapy, and being virtual, it theoretically allows for tailoring specifically to the user's needs [42,58].…”

BACKGROUND Over the last 2 decades, virtual reality technologies (VRTs) have been proposed as a way to enhance and improve smoking cessation therapy. OBJECTIVE This systematic review aims to evaluate and summarize the current knowledge on the application of VRT in various smoking cessation therapies, as well as to explore potential directions for future research and intervention development. METHODS A literature review of smoking interventions using VRT was conducted. RESULTS Not all intervention studies included an alternative therapy or a placebo condition against which the effectiveness of the intervention could be benchmarked, or a follow-up measure to ensure that the effects were lasting. Virtual reality (VR) cue exposure therapy was the most extensively studied intervention, but its effect on long-term smoking behavior was inconsistent. Behavioral therapies such as a VR approach-avoidance task or gamified interventions were less common but reported positive results. Notably, only 1 study combined Electronic Nicotine Delivery Devices with VRT. CONCLUSIONS The inclusion of a behavioral component, as is done in the VR approach-avoidance task and gamified interventions, may be an interesting avenue for future research on smoking interventions. As Electronic Nicotine Delivery Devices are still the subject of much controversy, their potential to support smoking cessation remains unclear. For future research, behavioral or multicomponent interventions are promising avenues of exploration. Future studies should improve their validity by comparing their intervention group with at least 1 alternative or placebo control group, as well as incorporating follow-up measures. CLINICALTRIAL
