• Abstract: It is clear, from the major press coverage that Virtual Reality (VR) development is garnering, that there is a huge amount of development interest in VR across multiple industries, including video streaming, gaming and simulated learning. Even though PC, web, and mobile are still the top platforms for software development, it is important for university computer science (CS) programs to expose students to VR as a development platform. Additionally, it is important for CS students to learn how to learn about new technologies, since change is constant in the CS field. CS curriculum changes happen much slower than the pace of technology adoption. As new technologies are introduced, CS faculty and students often learn together, especially in smaller CS programs. This paper describes how student-led VR projects are used, across the CS curriculum, as basic CS concepts are covered. The student-led VR projects are engaging, and promote learning and creativity. Additionally, each student project inspires more students to try their hand at VR development as well.

  The aim of our research is to support distributed software design activities in Virtual Reality (VR) We evaluate the collaboration efficiency and recall of design information when using the VR software design environment compared to a non-VR software design environment. We find that there is no significant difference in the efficiency and recall of design information when using the VR compared to the non-VR environment.

  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.

  We propose a learning-based Incentive Mechanism framework for VR services in the Metaverse. First, we propose the quality of perception as the metric for VR users in the virtual world. Second, for quick trading of VR services between VR users (i.e., buyers) and VR SPs (i.e., sellers), we design a double Dutch auction mechanism. Third, for auction communication reduction, we design a deep reinforcement learning-based auctioneer to accelerate this auction process.

  We show how data combined with machine learning techniques can predict how well a particular student will perform in a design task. We found that our models using early design sequence actions are particularly valuable for prediction. Further improvements to these models could lead to earlier predictions and thus provide students feedback sooner to enhance their learning.
