Virtual reality can be used to enhance education, especially in the remote context. Cross-reality interfaces can be useful for users who wish to access shared virtual spaces from different devices. Emotion recognition can then be used to supplement the lost non-verbal cues and allow teachers to address students in need. We introduce several types…

Timothy P. Negron – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Classroom management has many challenges, but when the class is held in a computer lab, even more challenges surface. The obstruction of the line-of-sight between the instructor and the students makes it difficult to monitor student behavior, attention, facial expressions or other non-verbal cues. Also, while the computer is a powerful machine,…
