“…Virtual studies employ Google Earth Engine, the importance of which is explained by Belisle [48], Gorelick et al [49], Liang et al [50], Mutanga and Kumar [51], and Warnasuriya et al [52]; the principle for application of this tool in megaclast studies is demonstrated by Ruban [17,53] who also proposed to call this approach as virtual journey (the relevant studies look like explorations of land surface along any route or within any territory and then general descriptions of the found megaclasts-such a virtual analysis resembles geological exploration by individual geologists in unknown domains). Virtual journeys are necessary to provide sedimentologists with elementary megaclast information because.…”

Megaclast research has intensified recently, and its further development needs new factual information from various places of the world. Three new megaclast localities are reported from the Russian South, namely, Shum, Merzhanovo, and the Red Stones. These localities host blocks of all grades, sometimes with certain flatness and angle roundness. Megaclasts from Shum and Merzhanovo result from poly-phase slope processes. At the Red Stones locality, a group of residual megaclasts will appear in the future due to weathering processes. This evidence together with the examples brought by the virtual journeys and the literature interpretations prove the genetic diversity of megaclasts and stress the urgency of their further investigations in various depositional environments.

“…The technology aimed to get the whole world within reach using VR by relying on sensors that track a user's position and gestures in actual space. The aim here is to immerse the user with experience of virtual earth in the same way that they experience a real one: as a world they actively embody rather than a representation they examine from the outside (Belisle, 2020). On top of that, users are able to explore the panoramas from fantastic impossible perspectives like flying, standing at the top of the highest peaks and even soar into space.…”

At Taylor’s University, Intercultural Design is a project-based module where students are exposed to different cultures of foreign countries and are required to understand the role of design in a wide cultural, political and social context. Through this experience in addition to reflective practice, conceptualizing of ideas and active experimentations, the participating graphic communication students interpret their immersion of culture subjectively and present a piece that communicates the said cultural elements to intended audiences. The present COVID-19 international travel restrictions had disrupted this knowledge acquisition process and posed limits of onsite exploration, engagement with foreign agencies and face-to-face interactions with communities and cultures. However, previous studies had posited the potential of utilizing similar approaches via virtual space, place metaphors and avatar-environment interaction. Henceforth, this paper explored Virtual Reality (VR) technology that replicated environments of foreign destinations and allowed students to map information from this perspective in order to produce a graphic design-based output. This paper intended to further examine the effectiveness of VR by comparing information and feedback of; 1)participating students who had firsthand experience of foreign environment, and 2) students who only have second hand experience via VR. This paper also proposed the suitable selection of VR tools based on cost, accessibility, technological requirements and immersion satisfaction via online learning. The results achieved during the analysis is pertinent to endorse the intention towards the use of VR tools for online collaborative and student-centered learning experience for this module.

VR Traffic Dataset on Broad Range of End-User Activities

With the emergence of new internet traffic types in modern transport networks, it has become critical for service providers to understand the structure of that traffic and predict peaks of that load for planning infrastructure expansion. Several studies have investigated traffic parameters for Virtual Reality (VR) applications. Still, most of them test only a partial range of user activities during a limited time interval. This work creates a dataset of captures from a broader spectrum of VR activities performed with a Meta Quest 2 headset, with the duration of each real residential user session recorded for at least half an hour. Newly collected data helped show that some gaming VR traffic activities have a high share of uplink traffic and require symmetric user links. Also, we have figured out that the gaming phase of the overall gameplay is more sensitive to the channel resources reduction than the higher bitrate game launch phase. Hence, we recommend it as a source of traffic distribution for channel sizing model creation. From the gaming phase, capture intervals of more than 100 s contain the most representative information for modeling activity.
