This overview presents the current state-of-the-art of self-adaptive technologies within virtual reality (VR) training. Virtual reality training and assessment is increasingly used for five key areas: medical, industrial & commercial training, serious games, rehabilitation and remote training such as Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). Adaptation can be applied to five core technologies of VR including haptic devices, stereo graphics, adaptive content, assessment and autonomous agents. Automation of VR training can contribute to automation of actual procedures including remote and robotic assisted surgery which reduces injury and improves accuracy of the procedure. Automated haptic interaction can enable tele-presence and virtual artefact tactile interaction from either remote or simulated environments. Automation, machine learning and data driven features play an important role in providing trainee-specific individual adaptive training content. Data from trainee assessment can form an input to autonomous systems for customised training and automated difficulty levels to match individual requirements. Self-adaptive technology has been developed previously within individual technologies of VR training. One of the conclusions of this research is that while it does not exist, an enhanced portable framework is needed and it would be beneficial to combine automation of core technologies, producing a reusable automation framework for VR training.

“…For instance, in [30], a teacher can instruct a student how to perform an operation (e.g., a surgery for cholecystectomy) by using PHANToM Premiums 1.5. In [32], a teacher guides a student how to go through a bifurcation of artery to the correct direction by employing PHANToM Omnis.…”

SUMMARYMulti-sensory communications with haptics attract a number of researchers in recent years. To provide services of the communications with high realistic sensations, the researchers focus on the quality of service (QoS) control, which keeps as high quality as possible, and the quality of experience (QoE) assessment, which is carried out to investigate the influence on user perception and to verify the effectiveness of QoS control. In this paper, we report the present status of studies on multisensory communications with haptics. Then, we divide applications of the communications into applications in virtual environments and those in real environments, and we mainly describe collaborative work and competitive work in each of the virtual and real environments. We also explain QoS control which is applied to the applications and QoE assessment carried out in them. Furthermore, we discuss the future directions of studies on multi-sensory communications.

Virtual Reality (VR) systems have a recent story from the social and practical applications point of view. The main idea related to this area refers to the use of three-dimensional environments in which users can explore and interact in virtual worlds and feel immersed and involved in this process. Nowadays the state of art in VR researches includes collaborative VR environments for medical training and teaching. The use of such collaborative environments allows students to share their knowledge or to be assisted by a tutor during a simulation. This paper presents the development process of a module for interactive collaboration to CyberMed, a framework available since 2004 to speed up the building of medical simulations based on VR technologies. The module for collaboration that was integrated to this framework was used to develop test applications.
