Speci...Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the immediate effects of optokinetic stimulation (OKS) using virtual reality (VR) on visual dependency and sensory reweighting in postural control during static standing. Specifically, it examined whether VR-based OKS could reduce visual dependency more effectively than visual deprivation through eye closure. Methods: Ten healthy adults participated in this study. A balance function meter was used to measure postural stability, including Romberg ratios before and after two conditions: VR-based OKS (VR + OKS) and eye closure (EC). Participants performed a two-minute standing task under each condition in random order, with adequate rest between tasks. In the VR + OKS condition, a smartphone-based VR headset presented a rotational OKS, while in the EC condition, participants stood with their eyes closed. Statistical analyses were conducted using paired t-tests to compare pre- and post-task Romberg ratios. Results: No significant differences were observed in the pre-task Romberg ratios between conditions. After the VR + OKS condition, significant reductions in Romberg A and Romberg V were observed. In contrast, no significant changes were noted in Romberg ratios after the EC condition. Conclusion: VR-based OKS significantly reduced visual dependency, as indicated by decreased Romberg ratios, suggesting its potential to facilitate sensory reweighting during postural control. These findings highlight the utility of low-cost VR devices in balance rehabilitation for conditions involving high visual dependency. Future studies should expand on this preliminary research by including larger sample sizes and diverse populations to confirm its clinical applicability.展开更多

Man-machine speech cuts off the rational and open dialogue in the public sphere, and interpersonal relationship falls into the social division woven by man-machine relationship. In this process, the authenticity of news has suffered a fierce impact. From the perspective of the development history of media technology, based on the theory of “mimetic environment” put forward by Lippmann, taking ChatGPT as a concrete case, this paper reveals the current situation of the continuous separation between the public and the real and objective environment by analyzing the evolution logic from mimetic environment to multiple virtual worlds, and puts forward some ways to break the ice, such as collaboration between eyewitness evidence and intelligent technology, cooperation between generative AI and journalists, collusion between recommendation algorithm and value orientation, so as to seek an effective path to protect the truth of news and bridge the gap between the virtual and the real world.展开更多

文摘Objectives:To explore the efficacy and safety of virtual reality(VR)in relieving negative emotions in patients with breast cancer with different personalities.Methods:A randomized controlled trial was conducted.Between April 2023 and October 2023,we enrolled patients with breast cancer treated in the Department of Breast Cancer and Oncology at Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hospital,Sun Yat-Sen University,Guangdong Province.The patients were randomly divided into an intervention group(n=118)and a control group(n=119)using block randomization.The intervention group received the VR intervention 3-5 times over 5±2 weeks using natural landscapes with music or relaxation guidance,and the duration of each VR intervention was 15±3 min.The control group received routine nursing care,including disease education and psychological counseling.Patients were assessed using the Type D Scale,Positive and Negative Affect Scale,and Distress Thermometer,and adverse events during the intervention were recorded.Results:Overall,85 patients completed the study(44 in the intervention group and 41 in the control group).Patients with Type D personalities showed more negative emotions[25.0(21.5,27.5)vs.19.0(16.0,24.0),P=0.001]and distressed attitudes[4.0(2.0,5.0)vs.3.0(1.0,4.0),P=0.020]with fewer positive emotions(27.2±5.6 vs.31.0±5.9,P=0.014)than those with non-Type D personalities.Total population analysis revealed no significant differences between the groups.However,in the subgroup analysis,patients with Type D personalities in the intervention group showed greater relief from negative emotions than those in the control group[median difference,-5.0(-9.0,-2.5)vs.-2.0(-4.0,2.0),P=0.046].No significant differences were found between groups of patients with non-Type D personality traits.The proportion of adverse events was not significantly different between groups(P=0.110).Conclusions:Breast cancer patients with Type D personalities suffer more severe negative emotions and distress,and more attention should be paid to them.VR intervention significantly and safely reduced negative emotions in patients with Type D personalities.
文摘The use of virtual reality to educate preoperative patients has a positive impact on nurses as well as patients undergoing treatment.It can help improve patient satisfaction and improve favorable outcomes by reducing patient anxiety and proving adequate knowledge about the procedure and possible outcomes to the patient.It also reduces burden on nursing staff and counsellors.Larger and more diverse cohort studies will help us understand the wider application of this tool on the patient population.It may be difficult to apply this tool on elderly patients with failing eyesight,multiple physical comorbidities.Also,there may be reduced acceptance of this modality by older nursing staff and practitioners who may prefer the traditional verbal version for counselling.We will benefit from a combined approach of using virtual reality apps with tradition one-on-one counselling to help alleviate patient concerns and improve patient and healthcare professional satisfaction.
文摘This research pioneers the integration of geographic information systems(GIS)and 3D modeling within a virtual reality(VR)framework to assess the viability and planning of a 20 MW hybrid wind-solarphotovoltaic(PV)system connected to the local grid.The study focuses on Dakhla,Morocco,a region with vast untapped renewable energy potential.By leveraging GIS,we are innovatively analyzing geographical and environmental factors that influence optimal site selection and system design.The incorporation of VR technologies offers an unprecedented level of realism and immersion,allowing stakeholders to virtually experience the project's impact and design in a dynamic,interactive environment.This novel methodology includes extensive data collection,advanced modeling,and simulations,ensuring that the hybrid system is precisely tailored to the unique climatic and environmental conditions of Dakhla.Our analysis reveals that the region possesses a photovoltaic solar potential of approximately2400 k Wh/m^(2) per year,with an average annual wind power density of about 434 W/m^(2) at an 80-meter hub height.Productivity simulations indicate that the 20 MW hybrid system could generate approximately 60 GWh of energy per year and 1369 GWh over its 25-year lifespan.To validate these findings,we employed the System Advisor Model(SAM)software and the Global Solar Photovoltaic Atlas platform.This comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach not only provides a robust assessment of the system's feasibility but also offers valuable insights into its potential socio-economic and environmental impact.
文摘Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the immediate effects of optokinetic stimulation (OKS) using virtual reality (VR) on visual dependency and sensory reweighting in postural control during static standing. Specifically, it examined whether VR-based OKS could reduce visual dependency more effectively than visual deprivation through eye closure. Methods: Ten healthy adults participated in this study. A balance function meter was used to measure postural stability, including Romberg ratios before and after two conditions: VR-based OKS (VR + OKS) and eye closure (EC). Participants performed a two-minute standing task under each condition in random order, with adequate rest between tasks. In the VR + OKS condition, a smartphone-based VR headset presented a rotational OKS, while in the EC condition, participants stood with their eyes closed. Statistical analyses were conducted using paired t-tests to compare pre- and post-task Romberg ratios. Results: No significant differences were observed in the pre-task Romberg ratios between conditions. After the VR + OKS condition, significant reductions in Romberg A and Romberg V were observed. In contrast, no significant changes were noted in Romberg ratios after the EC condition. Conclusion: VR-based OKS significantly reduced visual dependency, as indicated by decreased Romberg ratios, suggesting its potential to facilitate sensory reweighting during postural control. These findings highlight the utility of low-cost VR devices in balance rehabilitation for conditions involving high visual dependency. Future studies should expand on this preliminary research by including larger sample sizes and diverse populations to confirm its clinical applicability.
文摘Objective:We aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the efficacy of virtual reality(VR)distraction technologies in managing pain and anxiety in patients undergoing cystoscopy procedures.Methods:We searched PubMed,Embase,and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials from inception to July 2024,for studies comparing the use of VR distraction technologies versus no VR distraction in patients undergoing cystoscopy.The primary endpoints evaluated were patient-reported anxiety and procedural pain scores,and post-procedural heart rate(HR).Standardized mean differences(SMDs)and their 95%confidence intervals(CIs)were computed with the use of a random-effects model.The statistical analysis was conducted using Review Manager 5.4.Results:A total of 575 patients from four randomized controlled trials were included,of whom 289(50%)underwent the cystoscopy procedure using VR distraction technologies.The mean age of all patients was 57.25 years old,and 395(69%)of them were male.In our pooled analysis,we did not observe a statistically significant reduction in patient-reported procedural pain(SMD=0.16;95%CI=0.32-0.00;p=0.060;I^(2)=0%),anxiety(SMD=0.37;95%CI=1.65-0.90;p=0.6;I^(2)=93%),or post-procedural HR(SMD=0.58;95%CI=1.62-0.45;p=0.3;I^(2)=97%).Conclusion:In this comprehensive meta-analysis comprising 575 patients who underwent cystoscopy,the use of VR was not associated with a significant difference in pain,anxiety,or HR levels.

文摘In the realm of virtual reality(VR),haptic feedback is integral to enhance the immersive experience;yet,existing wearable devices predominantly rely on skin contact feedback,lacking options for compact and non-contact breeze-sense feedback.Herein,we propose a compact and non-contact working model piezoelectret actuator for providing a gentle and safe breeze sensation.This easy-fabricated and flexible breeze-sense generator with thickness around 1 mm generates air flow pressure up to~163 Pa,which is significantly sensed by human skin.In a typical demonstration,the breeze-sense generators array showcases its versatility by employing multiple coded modes for non-contact information transmitting.The thin thinness and good flexibility facilitate seamless integration with wearable VR setups,and the wearable arrays empower volunteers to precisely perceive the continuous and sudden breeze senses in the virtual environments.This work is expected to inspire developing new haptic feedback devices that play pivotal roles in human-machine interfaces for VR applications.
文摘From the era of mass communication to the era of generative artificial intelligence, under the construction of big data, algorithms and computing power, the mimicry environment has gradually evolved into multiple virtual dreamland: digital replication technology builds the first long-distance online news, and strong editing and weak mining aggravate the alienation of news production and practice;the algorithm model generated randomly by probability creates the second news illusion, and the exhaustibility of calculation makes AIGC completely divorced from reality. Man-machine speech cuts off the rational and open dialogue in the public sphere, and interpersonal relationship falls into the social division woven by man-machine relationship. In this process, the authenticity of news has suffered a fierce impact. From the perspective of the development history of media technology, based on the theory of “mimetic environment” put forward by Lippmann, taking ChatGPT as a concrete case, this paper reveals the current situation of the continuous separation between the public and the real and objective environment by analyzing the evolution logic from mimetic environment to multiple virtual worlds, and puts forward some ways to break the ice, such as collaboration between eyewitness evidence and intelligent technology, cooperation between generative AI and journalists, collusion between recommendation algorithm and value orientation, so as to seek an effective path to protect the truth of news and bridge the gap between the virtual and the real world.
