Virtual environments in special-needs education

Recommendations

Multi-modal virtual environments for education: from illusion to immersion
Edutainment'06: Proceedings of the First international conference on Technologies for E-Learning and Digital Entertainment

A multi-modal Virtual Environment that provides human-scale haptic feedback is described. User's immersion is achieved using a large rear-projected stereoscopic screen, a 5.1 audio system, and fan-based olfactory displays. An educational Virtual Reality ...
Virtual reality and augmented reality for education: panel
SA '16: SIGGRAPH ASIA 2016 Symposium on Education: Talks

Since the last few decades, virtual reality (VR) and augmented-reality (AR) interfaces have shown the potential to enhance teaching and learning, by combining physical and virtual worlds and leveraging the advantages of both [Yannier et al. 2015]. ...
Information-rich virtual environments: theory, tools, and research agenda
VRST '03: Proceedings of the ACM symposium on Virtual reality software and technology

Virtual environments (VEs) allow users to experience and interact with a rich sensory environment, but most virtual worlds contain only sensory information similar to that which we experience in the physical world. Information-rich virtual environments (...
