ABSTRACT
Climate change, environmental protection and sustainability dominate media and political affairs. The demand for increased use of public transport instead of cars is obvious. Beeing – the nature inspired VR journey is intended to raise awareness of these topics and at the same time create an example for added value for public transportation. Additionally, a prototype for a new content platform is being elaborated, which will also enable future-oriented developments by providing a variety of entertaining content between the train stations. The prototype presented is designed for short distance trains in the metropolitan area of Stuttgart, Germany with an approximate duration of three minutes. The physical conditions of the train ride are reflected in VR. With this special form of customer experience, the user is to be picked-up in the real world, i.e. in the real train, in order to experience a fantastic ride that far exceeds the experience of a normal train ride.

Large displays enhance spatial knowledge of a virtual environment
APGV '06: Proceedings of the 3rd symposium on Applied perception in graphics and visualizationPrevious research has found performance for several egocentric tasks to be superior on physically large displays relative to smaller ones, even when visual angle is held constant. This finding is believed to be due to the more immersive nature of large ...
Towards integration of user-centered designed tutorials for better virtual reality immersion
ICIGP '19: Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Image and Graphics ProcessingVirtual reality (VR) has been contributing to education, health sciences and entertainment of late. The technology has made itself flexible enough to cater to users of different ages. Additionally head-mounted displays (HMDs) has led to the increase of ...
Wearable head-mounted 3D tactile display application scenarios
MobileHCI '16: Proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction with Mobile Devices and Services AdjunctCurrent generation virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) head-mounted displays (HMDs) usually include no or only a single vibration motor for haptic feedback and do not use it for guidance. In a previous work, we presented HapticHead, a ...
