Synopsis:
Please note that the first hour of this event is for the talk and the second hour for Q&A and further discussion/interactions. The abstract is below:
The Virtual Reality systems during the recent decades brought important contribution to many domains such as industry, education and health. However, despite the availability of development tools and interfaces the population of users still limited to experts and computer literate users. However, the emergence of gamification opned up more opportunities for the democratization of interactive systems. This seminar will present the state of the art of VR and gamification and its related applications with a specific focus on the challenges and the promising future research directions.
