Understanding the Effects of Tablet-based Virtual Reality (VR) Viewing Systems for an Inclusive, Cross-device Virtual Environment
Wearing a virtual reality head-mounted display (VR-HMD) disconnects users from the real- world context that they are physically in. While one solution is to have everyone in the room wear VR-HMDs, this is not inclusive for all users. For example, children are not recommended to wear VR-HMDs due to …

A framework for enhancing the sense of presence in virtual and mixed reality
The vision of virtual reality has always been to create worlds that look, sound, act, and feel real. However, researchers and developers have largely favored visual perception over other senses. This over-valuation of the visual may be traced back to a partial interpretation of the seminal work on …
