This paper presents the results of the usability testing of an experimental component of the Virtual Collaboration Arena (VirCA) developed by the Cognitive Informatics Group of the Computer and Automation Research Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. This component is a semi-intelligent agent called the Emotional Display Object. We applied Wizard-of-Oz type high-fidelity early prototype evaluation technique to test the concept. The research focused on basic usability problems, and, in general, the perceptibility of the object as uncovered by eye-tracking and interview data; we analyzed and interpreted the results in correlation with the individual differences identified by a demographic questionnaire and psychological tests: the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), the Spatial-Visual Ability Paper Folding Test, and the Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test (RMET)however, the main goal of this paper outreaches beyond the particular issues found and the development of an agent: it shows a case study on how complex concepts in Virtual Reality (VR) can be tested in very early stage of development.

“…In the ITC field, CogInfoCom solutions can be applied to determine the best parameters of the communication process (eg Human-Machine Interactions) [11]. There are concerns in the field of analysis of new communication channels: the subject of tactile perception of robot teleoperation [10,12], production planning in virtual environments [13], creation of 3D workspaces for people with special needs [14] or analysis of the factors danger in building environments [15] using VR techniques, or even less tangible subjects, such as Crowdsourcing [16], pedagogy [17] or economic models, production and investment [18].…”

In the last decades, more and more virtual systems are used for various activities: training, explanation, simulation, or verifying different concepts. This paper presents a first attempt to create a CogInfoCom channel through which a Virtual Reality (VR) system communicates with a natural cognitive system (prototype and physical experimental system) in a way that improves human cognitive abilities to understand the way an ancient bow works and the sensations it exerts on the human body. This study proposes an immersive VR simulator for recreating the experience of shooting with 3 types of old bows, based on a customized haptic interface. The research focuses on optimizing the shooting experience by using the force characteristic measured from real replicas, as well as handling other important archery features such as the length of the draw or the weight of the bow. The results are mostly positive and the data collected demonstrates the adaptability and replicability of the developed solution, as the system is able to reproduce in VR any type of bow.

“…Due to the latter features individualized and self-regulated learning environments requiring the development of personalized learning strategies can emerge (Attwell, 2007) [3]. In the era of digital work schedules such solutions entailing digital platforms and virtual and three-dimensional presentation technologies suitable for the improvement of cognitive skills of learners can gain a greater appreciation [4] [6] [7] [8][9][10][11][12][13][14].…”

The COVID-19 pandemic had a special impact not only on lifestyles and work forms, but on the education process itself. The exigency occurring in a relatively fast manner required quick adaptation of methodological practices and learning support solutions. The Web 2.0 became a crucial provider of technological support services, which resulted in the increased prevalence of written and oral culture in education along with that of the creative-participatory effort and activity of students [1]. Our study explores and introduces digital tools and methods providing the most effective and state of the art support to all participants in the digitalized education arena including teachers, students and parents.
