“…Before the innovation of Oculus Rift, many of the devices in the market were not as developed and thus not as appealing to consumers (Rebenitsch & Owen, 2016;Stein, 2016). Although increasing in popularity with consumers and businesses, VR's initial high price disrupted the quick adoption for many (Blümel et al 2009;Germani et al, 2012;Xia et al, 2013;Grabowski & Jankowski, 2015;Stein, 2016 VR is a simulated 3D environment in which people become immersed (Wexelblat, 1993).…”

Fair-trade is an alternative approach to trading that has a goal of sustainable development and creating a better opportunity for producers in third world countries. Fair-trade coffee represents the largest category under this umbrella. Globally, Generation Z’s consumption and adoption of ethical/sustainable products creates new challenges and opportunities for producers and marketers. Virtual reality has seen to educate, market, and create value with its media richness, presence, interactive, and immersive qualities. As a result, VR has positioned itself to be a very strong communication tool for social scientists and marketers to add value, communicate effective messages, and impact consumer behaviour. This research examines consumer purchase intentions regarding Fair-trade coffee through the lenses of the Theory of Reasoned Action and the exploratory effect of virtual reality in the context of Generation Z. A first analysis will allow me to outline, present, and test a model regarding Fair-trade coffee consumption in the scope of the Theory of Reasoned Action. Additionally, a second analysis will leverage VR in an exploratory manner to see if this has an effect on the dimensions outlined in the model. The dimensions presented to impact Fair-trade coffee purchase intentions are personal values, knowledge of Fair-trade, general attitudes towards purchasing Fair-trade coffee, and subjective norms. By analyzing data from 314 respondents, this study found that competence, knowledge of Fair-trade, skepticism, and concern are significant predictors of product interest and likeability. Knowledge of Fair-trade and Skepticism are significant predictors of price acceptability. Furthermore, subjective norms are a significant predictor of purchase intentions. Lastly, virtual reality was found to have an inconclusive effect on the dimensions outlined in the conceptual model.

Much more recently, the Fraunhofer IFF Learning Platform [6] provides a VR to perform a very realistic virtual laboratory training. The platform features its own authoring system to create learning scenarios without being VR expert but rather learning content expert.…”

For a few years, Electronic Laboratories (ELabs: computeraided local laboratories as much as distant and virtual ones) have been growing in the E-Learning panorama. Meanwhile, in major E-Learning activities, learning scenarios are nowadays written in a standard way (SCORM, IMS-LD) to be used by standard Learning Management Systems. The use of such scenarios in ELab trainings is appearing just now. However such scenarios are dedicated to one specifi ELab and cannot be easily used for other similar ELabs. Since 2002, we work on the integration of learning scenarios into ELab platforms to help to re-use learning scenarios corresponding to similar apparatuses. Paper describing the global corresponding life-cycle have already been published. This paper introduces a tool which intervenes in the first step of this life-cycle: the learning scenario design process. It should help authors to design "generic" ELab learning scenarios, available for functionally compliant ELabs. This tool also aims at pre-testing such learning scenarios on a virtual apparatus to check scenario-apparatus communication.

“…In order to explore the expectations of the students, their way of life, their uses of Internet and their computer equipment, an assessment of their needs was conducted. Following the results obtained and according to many studies on the value added by three dimensional environments (3D) in e-learning [2][3][4][5][6], we have designed GE3D, a virtual campus with the SCOL technology [7].…”

There are many learning management systems all over the world. But these conventional E-learning platforms aim at students who are used to work on their own. Our students are young (19 years old -22 years old), and in their first year at the university. Following extensive interviews with our students, we have designed GE3D, an E-learning platform, according to their expectations and our criteria. In this paper, we describe the students' demands, resulting from the interviews. Then, we present our virtual campus. Even if our platform uses some elements coming from the 3D games world, it is always a pedagogical tool. Using this technology, we developed a 3D representation of the real world. We also propose a process of a lecture on the Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC's) in this new universe. GE3D is a multi-users tool, with a synchronous technology, an intuitive interface for end-users and an embedded Intelligent Tutoring System to support learners.
