ABSTRACT
This manuscript introduces a virtual reality (VR) environment to support research activity in the real world. We constructed a prototype to support intellectual activity in the field of life sciences using VR. In the prototype, the users can operate a real microscope from a virtual space, along with other useful equipment such as huge displays, and analyze images carefully and intuitively using a immersive visualizer seamlessly integrated in the environment. We belive that our prototype is promising for expanding the potential of VR applications.

Evaluation of Navigation Operations in Immersive Microscopic Visualization
VRST '19: Proceedings of the 25th ACM Symposium on Virtual Reality Software and TechnologyIn this study, we evaluated the quantitative effectiveness of navigation operation in a virtual reality (VR) volumetric viewer, in order to confirm the effectiveness of VR in life sciences. The analytical work for biological data is a promising ...
A comparative study of presence in virtual reality vs. presence in the real world
ACM-SE 42: Proceedings of the 42nd annual Southeast regional conferenceThe main objective of this project was to study and compare the relationship between the sense of presence in the virtual environment and the sense of presence in the physical world while experiencing the virtual world. The study consisted of two parts, ...
Thinning trainer based on forest-growth model, virtual reality and computer-aided virtual environment
Immersive virtual reality is applied in many human activities. This virtual reality can be used as a training tool for thinning operations in forests. The aim of this study is to describe the complex solution of Thinning Trainer, that we developed. This ...
