“…In-car gaming is a new concept that needs special consideration concerning interactivity, immersion, and situational awareness. From a design perspective, immersion and situational awareness can be regulated by matching the real world to virtual spaces, while interactivity is handled using the most convenient control scheme [18,34].…”

Background: As Automated Driving Systems (ADS) technology gets assimilated into the market, the driver’s obligation will be changed to a supervisory role. A key point to consider is the driver’s engagement in the secondary task to maintain the driver/user in the control loop. This paper aims to monitor driver engagement with a game and identify any impacts the task has on hazard recognition. Methods: We designed a driving simulation using Unity3D and incorporated three tasks: No-task, AR-Video, and AR-Game tasks. The driver engaged in an AR object interception game while monitoring the road for threatening road scenarios. Results: There was a significant difference in the tasks (F(2,33) = 4.34, p = 0.0213), identifying the game-task as significant with respect to reaction time and ideal for the present investigation. Game scoring followed three profiles/phases: learning, saturation, and decline profile. From the profiles, it is possible to quantify/infer drivers’ engagement with the game task. Conclusion: The paper proposes alternative monitoring that has utility, i.e., entertaining the user. Further experiments with AR-Games focusing on the real-world car environment will be performed to confirm the performance following the recommendations derived from the current test.

“…Related studies have also shown that the free perspective provided by immersive virtual reality enables students to explore planning more comprehensively [77]. At the same time, according to the embodied cognition perspective, such bodily exploration not only increases perceptual challenges, but may also stimulate curious exploration of spatial, physical, and social environments, where students can make sense of new rules and phenomena through bodily sensations [78]. In terms of imagination, the multisensory experience provided by immersive virtual reality may stimulate students' imagination of shapes, spaces, and situations, enabling them to think about expressions in a more embodied and vivid way, which is in line with the research of Tano [79].…”

Virtual-reality 3D modeling helps primary school students to develop creative thinking and problem-solving skills. Through hands-on practice, students can understand abstract concepts more intuitively, and can realize the combination of theory and practice. However, in conventional virtual 3D modeling teaching, students often lack immersive modeling experience, and the modeling method may not be in line with the cognitive way of thinking of primary school students, which, in turn, causes high cognitive load. Immersive virtual reality (IVR) environments provide students with more immersive and intuitive interactions, which can help promote students’ cognitive, emotional, and social development. Therefore, this study combined IVR with 3D virtual modeling to form an immersive virtual-reality-based 3D modeling approach (IVR-based 3D modeling) and designed a quasi-experiment to compare it with the conventional virtual reality 3D modeling approach (CVR-based 3D modeling) to explore its effectiveness. The results of the study show that the IVR-based 3D modeling approach significantly enhanced elementary school students’ creative thinking, including its sub-dimensions (e.g., challenge, imagination, and curiosity), when compared to the CVR-based 3D modeling approach. The same conclusion was reached for problem-solving skills. IVR-based 3D modeling also reduced students’ cognitive load during the learning process, especially in terms of mental effort. The results of the interviews complement the experimental results, and the learners’ perceptions of the new approach explain the experimental results to some extent.

“…Interior spatial layout is not only the main problem involved in interior design, but also an important research direction in layout design. Compared with other types of layout problems, interior spatial layout has more research value and prospect interior design [10], virtual reality [11], computer games [12] and other fields have been widely used in indoor space layout in the field of architecture, interior space layout includes layout graphic design (space division) and scene optimization layout (home decoration). Traditional interior design often lacks personalized needs due to the differences in communication between designers and users, resulting in the consumption of a lot of human resources.…”

The Interior layout model is to optimize the arrangement position of each room to maximize the comfort and quality of life of residents. Due to the complexity of the Interior layout problem, the computation of fitness function costs lots of time. To reduce the high computational cost while maintaining the solution performance. An interactive differential evolution algorithm based on Backtracking operator (IDE-BO) is proposed as the solver of the Interior layout model. The human-computer interaction mechanism of IDE benefits the automatic adjustment of fitness parameters that best meet the user’s subjective preferences to achieve the optimal solution. At the same time, the backtracking strategy can also help jump out when the algorithm falls into local optimization. The IDE is compared to other two conventional optimization methods based on two different layout scenarios. The experimental results show that in interior layout model IDE-BO is better than conventional interactive genetic algorithm (IGA) and IDE which do not use BO strategy, the super-performance of IDE-BO in complex situations in terms of execution time and convergence rate.
