The w88 online casino betting Libraries @One Digital Media &w88 online casino betting; Technology Center will host its annual VR | AR w88 online casino betting Friday Oct. 21 at 3 p.m. on the first floor of the Mathewson-IGT Knowledge Center inside the Wells Fargo Auditorium and @Reality virtual reality lab. Event organizers invite faculty, students, graduate students, technology-lovers and anyone curious about how this technology is being used in the academic environment to attend.
Those unable to join the event in-person are invited to join via Zoom. Have questions? Contact Luka Starmer.
“The Libraries started hosting the w88 online casino betting in 2016 when VR was becoming a more popular and accessible technology,” @One Interim Director Daniel Fergus said. “At that time there were different researchers getting into and using the technology, but no one had any idea who was using it and what academic unit they were in. We organized the w88 online casino betting to break down silos, open channels of communication between individuals with similar interests and seek ways to identify interdisciplinary research opportunities.”
The first w88 online casino betting was more of a roundtable discussion, but the 2022 event is a full multimedia experience.
The w88 online casino betting will begin at 3 p.m. with a series of lightning round, faculty-led presentations held in the Wells Fargo Auditorium. At 4 p.m., attendees will move the @Reality VR lab where they will have a unique and rare opportunity to experience hands-on demonstrations of new and emerging research projects featuring VR | AR technologies. @Reality offers four reservable spaces to explore and develop immersive content for Valve Index and Oculus w88 online casino betting platforms. Refreshments will be provided.
Faculty from eight different w88 online casino betting departments will participate in the lightning talks. They include:

Virtual Reality and world-transforming research
Professors Eelke Folmer from Computer Science &w88 online casino betting; Engineering and Paul MacNeilage from Psychology will share their research at the event. The two have worked together on a National Science Foundation (NSF) project investigating the phenomenology of who is likely to get w88 online casino betting sickness and why. Folmer studies human-computer interaction and MacNeilage studies neuroscience and psychology.
“People using w88 online casino betting at some point will start to feel uncomfortable, experiencing symptoms like nausea, headaches and eye strain,” MacNeilage said. “We still don’t understand the mechanisms behind this.”
Folmer and MacNeilage recently published a paper looking at the possibility of training people to feel less w88 online casino betting sick.
Folmer’s research interests include human-computer interaction, virtual reality and augmented reality. MacNeilage’s research focus is trying to understand the mechanisms that allow humans to perceive the world as stationary despite their own movement, what he refers to as “stationarity perception.”
“The goal of w88 online casino betting devices is to create the illusion of a stationary virtual environment,” MacNeilage said. “I am aiming to understand the neural mechanisms that govern perception of a stationary environment. This knowledge is potentially useful for guiding developing w88 online casino betting|AR systems of the future.”
Folmer said many individuals experience w88 online casino betting sickness especially when trying w88 online casino betting out for the first time. There is some evidence that w88 online casino betting sickness incidence decreases due to advances in hardware. He also said our research suggests the possibility of reducing w88 online casino betting sickness through adaptation (i.e., repeated exposure to w88 online casino betting while increasing the intensity of optical flow).
Folmer and MacNeilage noticed in several user studies that some users are extremely sensitive to w88 online casino betting sickness and hoping to explore training solutions that can help this population. With the increasing popularity of w88 online casino betting and w88 online casino betting increasingly being used for work, education and socialization, it is important to make sure everyone has access.
Decreasing w88 online casino betting sickness symptoms
In their research study, Folmer and MacNeilage had subjects play w88 online casino betting in an abstract environment with little optical flow as a way to introduce the technology. Over the course of the study, the researchers increased the strength of the optical flow to help further desensitize those subjects experiencing w88 online casino betting sickness symptoms.
“Our research demonstrated that with daily, timed and repeat exposure to w88 online casino betting, w88 online casino betting sickness symptoms do decrease,” Folmer said. “In our study we manipulated the strength of the optic flow users were experiencing in w88 online casino betting gradually over time to amp-up their tolerance and reduce their instance of w88 online casino betting sickness symptoms.”
MacNeilage said w88 online casino betting sickness is distinct from motion sickness, but there are some overlaps.
“People with motion sickness tend to do better if they are controlling the movement,” he said. “For example, if someone knows they get motion sickness they may want to drive the car to manage their sickness, versus passively sitting in the passenger seat and getting car sick while someone else does the driving.”
MacNeilage said he’s trying to understand the perceptual measure of sensitivity – quantify the sensitivity to conflict and look at the factors impacting the sensitivity and whether the users movements are active or passive.
“Sensitivity is best when users fixate on a real object rather than pursue a moving object,” he said. “I like to study factors such as the characteristics of the visual scene – is it a course or fine scene and the role peripheral vision plays versus the role central vision plays. We know as you extend the visual field motion sensitivity increases.”
Supporting the campus community
Folmer, who runs the Virtual and Augmented Reality Interaction Core facilty on campus, and MacNeilage who runs the Self Motion lab on campus, want faculty and students to reach out to them for partnership and research opportunities.
“I hope to interact with new faculty at the w88 online casino betting,” Folmer said. “I am interested in understanding faculty needs to try and help develop the applications desired to create new knowledge, build new products and further research across campus. The Core facility exists to support faculty and their endeavors.”
MacNeilage said he is often looking for the small percent of the population who suffer from severe w88 online casino betting sickness. He said those who are most sensitive are the most likely to try w88 online casino betting only to be totally repelled by it. He argues that it is hard to adapt to the technology if a first step isn’t taken.
“Ironically enough we can learn the most from individuals who are most sensitive,” he said. “These are also the most difficult research subjects to recruit for studies. I hope to welcome those susceptible to w88 online casino betting sickness to my Self Motion lab. These individuals have a remarkable opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to the larger body of research.”
MacNeilage said because w88 online casino betting is indispensable in some fields it is a technology that should be embraced.
“It’s an accessibility issue,” he said. “People who have problems using w88 online casino betting – they are precluded from participating in certain activities. I hope our work and research can help open doors for everyone to embrace and experience w88 online casino betting.”
