The paper describes immersive capabilities of CAVE Automatic Virtual Environment and Head-Mounted Display. An important aspect of this research was to develop a method for quantifying user immersion in both systems. Two virtual reality applications, "Flat of Negative Emotions" and "Arachnophobia Treatment Support" were used to observe and analyze user reactions and engagement levels. Participants were exposed to these applications...

The authors of this article explore the integration of remote sensing techniques, specifically laser scanning and photogrammetry, as well as immersive visualisation via different methods applied to architectural design processes, and its potential impact on the professional development of future architects. The study demonstrates the value of extending the architectural design process into the interdisciplinary field of geomatics...

The goal of the chapter was to review the different therapeutic techniques used in the treatment of various forms of phobias, with particular emphasis on virtual reality treatment. We define different types of phobias, including social ones. We also describe treatment techniques – adopted from behavioral therapy – which have been developed to aid the treatment of phobias. Particular emphasis has been placed on the flooding, implosive...

Traditional drawing involves drawing on some surface, often a plane, e.g. a sheet of paper, a school board or a wall. This type of drawing therefore takes place in two dimensions of this surface. Transferring this activity to a computer, or rather to the surface of its screen, did not change the two-dimensional nature of this action. Practically all applications today, from Paint to sophisticated computer-aided design tools, still...

The paper presents developing a virtual reality-based escape room to teach mathematical concepts. The goal was to create an immersive game to engage students in actively solving math puzzles. The research team built the application for use in the Immersive 3D Visualization Lab at the Gdańsk University of Technology. The escape room comprises an introductory room followed by three themed rooms with 13 puzzles total that involve...
