Flash tries to replace the medium itself and remove the browser. Though some of these are due to poor development practices, please show me
The research on Virtual Reality being carried out at VRLAB is around the topic of multimodal human-computer interaction in virtual environments. We focus mainly on developing new interaction metaphors integrating 3D sound, stereo visualization, and force feedback, towards more intuitive and immersive systems for several applications.
Multimodal Interactive VR Systems
One of the investigated topics concerns the use of intelligent avatars (or autonomous virtual assistants) to efficiently perform tasks in cooperation with the user. In this context,
Human interactions are multimodal in nature. From simple to complex forms of transferal of information, human beings draw on a multiplicity of communicative modes, such as intonation and gaze, to make sense of everyday experiences. Likewise, the learning process, either within traditional classrooms or Virtual Learning Environments, is shaped by learners' perceptions of what is being communicated multimodally to them intentionally or not, and by the perceptible pedagogical affordances of the environment.
