Virtual Reality Serious Game for Chemical Lab Safety Training in Industry and Academia: from Design, Development to Increased Motivation and Engagement KU Leuven
Chemical laboratories are workplace environments where risks of injury and even fatality are always present. Laboratory workers, in academia and industry, are required to have proficient safety awareness in order to minimise risk to an acceptable level. However, investigation reports and reviews on laboratory accidents reveal that, due to lack of safety awareness and at-risk behaviour, unfortunate events still happen. Insufficient safety ...
Development and Validation of a Large Eddy Simulation Based Virtual Environment for Optimal Wind Farm Control KU Leuven
Wind energy is one of the strongest means available to us today to counteract the climate crisis. To facilitate growth in the sector, the underlying technologies have recently witnessed increased research interest in areas such as materials, control and turbine aerodynamics. This has lead to the development of massive mega-watt scale wind turbines, which are often placed together in clusters called wind farms due to economic benefits. ...
Sense of Wonder. Artistic portals between the real and the virtual AP Hogeschool Antwerpen
Stimulating chemistry curiosity through virtual experiences KU Leuven
The aim of this project is to develop a set of comprehensive and realistically implementable game design and production guidelines for a virtual curiosity lab for children at the age of 8-14 years old. Here, the virtual curiosity lab is a virtual or mixed reality environment where children are given the freedom to experiment and investigate in a safe manner. Typically, the virtual curiosity lab will be themed around a specific subject, such ...
Virtual reality as a tool for lighting design KU Leuven
Accurate high-fidelity virtual reality could be an important practical and economical tool for lighting and architectural design, virtual prototyping, medical applications, an so on. In addition, the systematic control of highly realistic virtual stimuli could lead to ground-breaking consequences for the scientific study of the appearance and experience of light and color. However, it is as yet unclear how (well) perception in real scenes ...
Virtual Fruit tissue Generation Based on Cell Growth Modeling KU Leuven
Analysis of the impact of inquiry-based virtual biotechnology laboratories on student learning in the domain of biology KU Leuven
Perception of light and color in real and virtual environments KU Leuven
Understanding and predicting the perception and appearance of light and color in realistic scenes is one of the ultimate goals of color science. Today's fundamental research on color appearance and color perception is typically based on simplified stimuli and viewing conditions: a flat, uniform stimuli on a neutral flat uniform background illuminated by a single (quasi)neutral light source. However, more complex, naturalistic stimuli that are ...
