The Benefits of Immersive Education

April 25, 2023 by Shanna Finnigan Leave a Comment

It’s a Wednesday in September. I’m in my Marine Biology lecture. I open my pencil bag for a freshly sharpened pencil, and reach down into my bag for a lined piece of paper. But before I can fish out a sheet from my binder, my professor claps her hands at the front of the classroom, signaling for us to look up and give her our attention.  “Today, we’re doing something a … [Read more...] about The Benefits of Immersive Education

Exploring Los Angeles Through XR

In this blog, I’ve gone through and described each monocular cue in detail, which are … [Read more...] about Monocular Visual Cues and VR

Continuation of Olfactory VR: A Historical Perspective

November 4, 2022 by Shanna Finnigan Leave a Comment

There are several main areas that scent-focused XR is tasked with addressing, the first of which being position tracking. In order to trigger appropriate smells at times that correspond with the storytelling in a virtual experience, it is important that the system is able to track where a user is in this digital environment, so that as they come upon scent-triggering elements, … [Read more...] about Continuation of Olfactory VR: A Historical Perspective
