• Title: Inclusion in Virtual Reality Technology: A Scoping Review
• Authors: Xiaofeng Yong and Ali Arya
• Abstract summary: 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.

• Abstract: Despite the significant growth in virtual reality applications and research, the notion of inclusion in virtual reality is not well studied. Inclusion refers to the active involvement of different groups of people in the adoption, use, design, and development of VR technology and applications. In this review, 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. We also briefly review the approaches to model and consider the role of users in technology adoption and design as a background for inclusion studies. We identify a series of generic barriers and research gaps and some specific ones for each group, resulting in suggested directions for future research.

  Zero-shot image recognition (ZSIR) aims at empowering models to recognize and reason in unseen domains. This paper presents a broad review of recent advances in element-wise ZSIR. We first attempt to integrate the three basic ZSIR tasks of object recognition, compositional recognition, and foundation model-based open-world recognition into a unified element-wise perspective.

  A special need has arisen where, due to privacy, usability, and/or the right to be forgotten, information about some specific samples needs to be removed from a model, called machine unlearning. This emerging technology has drawn significant interest from both academics and industry due to its innovation and practicality. No study has analyzed this complex topic or compared the feasibility of existing unlearning solutions in different kinds of scenarios. The survey concludes by highlighting some of the outstanding issues with unlearning techniques, along with some feasible directions for new research opportunities.

  The current curricula from top institutions focus primarily on technical considerations for building VR applications. Our analysis reveals that the current teaching practices underemphasize design thinking, prototyping, and evaluation skills. We recommend VR curricula should emphasize design principles and guidelines, offer training in prototyping and ideation, and prioritize practical design exercises.
