A dichotomy exists in the way virtual embodiments are currently studied: embodied entities are considered by conversational approaches as other selves whereas avatar approaches study them as users' hosts. Virtual reality applications such as in our case study often propose a different, in between embodiment experience. In the context of a virtual h...

... vary the embodiment experience, we designed four conditions (2*2 between subjects): Human (high anthropomorphic) / Sphere (low anthropomorphic) (Figure 1. (b)) * Egocentric reference frame / Exocentric reference frame (Figure 1. (c)) (Hu-Sp / Eg-Ex). In the egocentric reference frame condition, the user viewpoint is not collocated with the avatar body (1 meter behind) but is tethered to its displacements. ...

Piaget's theory, which is at the center of cognitive approach and major theoretical foundation in terms of the intelligent development, explains children's language learning by using four stages of cognitive development. For instance, Piaget maintains that Egocentrism is related to language learning as an inner speech and can affect on differentiat...
Increasing the scale of reinforcement learning experiments has allowed researchers to achieve unprecedented results in both training sophisticated agents for video games, and in sim-to-real transfer for robotics. Typically such experiments rely on large distributed systems and require expensive hardware setups, limiting wider access to this excitin...
As of current knowledge, almost all previous studies that implemented the judgment of direction (JRD) task exposed their participants to a first-person, ground-level survey of object arrays placed in either real-world or virtual reality settings. In view of related studies that demonstrated individual proclivities towards the use of either the egoc...
This study looks at pre-service teachers' developing perceptions with a view to supporting teacher education practices. In determining and guiding program structures it is the opinions of the experts that are most often heard. Absent from this debate is an understanding of the changing perceptions of the pre-service teacher as they progress through...

The increasing use of wearable devices for tourism purposes sets the stage for a critical discussion on technological mediation in tourism experiences. This article provides a theoretical reflection on the phenomenon of embodiment relation in technological mediation and then assesses the embodiment of wearable augmented reality technology in a tourism attraction. The findings suggest that technology embodiment is a multidimensional construct consisting of ownership, location, and agency. These support the concept of technology withdrawal, where technology disappears as it becomes part of human actions, and contest the interplay of subjectivity and intentionality between humans and technology in situated experiences such as tourism. It was also found that technology embodiment affects enjoyment and enhances experience with tourism attractions.
