• Abstract: Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) tools have been applied in all engineering fields in order to avoid the use of physical prototypes, to train in high-risk situations, and to interpret real or simulated results. In order to complete a shared task or assign tasks to the agents in such immersive environments, collaboration or Shared Cooperative Activities are a necessity. Collaboration in immersive environments is an emerging field of research that aims to study and enhance the ways in which people interact and work together in Virtual and Augmented Reality settings. Collaboration in immersive environments is a complex process that involves different factors such as communication, coordination, and social presence. This paper provides an overview of the current state of research on collaboration in immersive environments. It discusses the different types of immersive environments, including VR and AR, and the different forms of collaboration that can occur in these environments. The paper also highlights the challenges and limitations of collaboration in immersive environments, such as the lack of physical cues, cost and usability and the need for further research in this area. Overall, collaboration in immersive environments is a promising field with a wide range of potential applications, from education to industry, and it can benefit both individuals and groups by enhancing their ability to work together effectively.

  Control and visual disparities between real and simulated environments are key challenges for reliable simulated evaluation. We propose approaches for mitigating these gaps without needing to craft full-fidelity digital twins of real-world environments. We create SIMPLER, a collection of simulated environments for manipulation policy evaluation on common real robot setups.

  Mixed reality telepresence allows participants to engage in a wide spectrum of activities, previously not possible in 2D screen-based communication methods. We propose a novel mutual scene synthesis method that takes the participants' spaces as input, and generates a virtual synthetic scene that corresponds to the functional features of all participants' local spaces. Our method combines a mutual function optimization module with a deep-learning conditional scene augmentation process to generate a scene mutually and physically accessible to all participants of a mixed reality telepresence scenario.

  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.
