Abstract summary: A significant problem with immersive virtual reality (IVR) experiments is the ability to compare research conditions. VR kits and tactile environments are complex and diverse but researchers from different fields, e.g. ICT, psychology, or marketing, often neglect to describe them with a level of detail sufficient to their research on the landscape. This article presents a reference checklist for describing research conditions of experiments.

Abstract: A significant problem with immersive virtual reality (IVR) experiments is the ability to compare research conditions. VR kits and IVR environments are complex and diverse but researchers from different fields, e.g. ICT, psychology, or marketing, often neglect to describe them with a level of detail sufficient to situate their research on the IVR landscape. Careful reporting of these conditions may increase the applicability of research results and their impact on the shared body of knowledge on HCI and IVR. Based on literature review, our experience, practice and a synthesis of key IVR factors, in this article we present a reference checklist for describing research conditions of IVR experiments. Including these in publications will contribute to the comparability of IVR research and help other researchers decide to what extent reported results are relevant to their own research goals. The compiled checklist is a ready-to-use reference tool and takes into account key hardware, software and human factors as well as diverse factors connected to visual, audio, tactile, and other aspects of interaction.

DISCOVERYWORLD: A Virtual Environment for Developing and Evaluating Automated Scientific Discovery Agents [49.74065769505137]
We introduce DISCOVERYWORLD, the first virtual environment for developing and benchmarking an agent's ability to perform complete cycles of novel scientific discovery. It includes 120 different challenge tasks spanning eight topics each with three levels of difficulty and several parametric variations. We find that strong baseline agents, that perform well in prior published environments, struggle on most DISCOVERYWORLD tasks.

We provide a scoping analysis of existing virtual reality research literature about inclusion. We categorize the literature based on target group into ability, gender, and age, followed by those that study community-based design of VR experiences. In the latter group, we focus mainly on Indigenous Peoples as a clearer and more important example.

Towards Modeling Software Quality of Virtual Reality Applications from Users' Perspectives [44.46088489942242]
We conduct the first large-scale empirical study to model the software quality of VR applications from users' perspectives. We analyze 1,132,056 user reviews of 14,150 VR applications across seven app stores through a semiautomatic review mining approach. Our analysis reveals that the VR-specific quality attributes are of utmost importance to users, which are closely related to the most unique properties of VR applications.

Where are we in the search for an Artificial Visual Cortex for Embodied Intelligence? [106.81451807227103]
We present the largest and most comprehensive empirical study of pre-trained visual representations (PVRs) or visual 'foundation models' for Embodied AI. To study the effect of pre-training data size and diversity, we combine over 4,000 hours of egocentric videos from 7 different sources. Our largest model, named VC-1, outperforms all prior PVRs on average but does not universally dominate either.

A Review of Emerging Research Directions in Abstract Visual Reasoning [0.0]
We propose a taxonomy to categorise the tasks along 5 dimensions: input shapes, hidden rules, target task, cognitive function, and main challenge. The perspective taken in this survey allows to characterise problems with respect to their shared and distinct properties, provides a unified view on the existing approaches for solving tasks. One of them refers to the observation that in the machine learning literature different tasks are considered in isolation, which is in the stark contrast with the way the tasks are used to measure human intelligence.

A survey on applications of augmented, mixed and virtual reality for nature and environment [114.4879749449579]
Augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR) are technologies of great potential due to the engaging and enriching experiences they are capable of providing. However, the possibilities that AR, VR and MR offer in the area of environmental applications are not yet widely explored. We present the outcome of a survey meant to discover and classify existing AR/VR/MR applications that can benefit the environment or increase awareness on environmental issues.
