Aim: The aim of the study was to assess two levels of immersive virtual reality simulation (VRS) to teach the skill of decontamination.
Background: Little is known about the use of VRS in providing disaster education, including retention.
Method: Quasiexperimental design with repeated measures, supplemented by qualitative data, using a convenience sample of senior baccalaureate nursing students (n = 197) from four Midwest campuses was used. Students were randomly assigned to a group (two levels of immersive VRS and a control group) to learn the skill of decontamination. Cognitive learning, performance, and performance time were measured pre/post and at six months.
Results: Outcome measures were significant with immediate postintervention improvements and lower retention scores at six months. No significant differences were noted between groups. Students were satisfied with the VRS but found immersive VRS more interactive.
Conclusion: VRS provides another alternative for simulated learning experiences; best practice approaches for its use still need to be explored.

Unlabelled: Stroke patients are rarely asked about their responses to specific design attributes. Virtual reality (VR) offers a promising tool to explore how hospital environments are experienced after stroke.
Purpose: To gather perspectives and emotional responses regarding physical design attributes of hospital patient rooms after stroke.

Gesture recognition plays a significant role in human-machine interaction (HMI) system. This paper proposes a gesture-controlled reconfigurable metasurface system based on surface electromyography (sEMG) for real-time beam deflection and polarization conversion. By recognizing the sEMG signals of user gestures through a pre-trained convolutional neural network (CNN) model, the system dynamically modulates the metasurface, enabling precise control of the deflection direction and polarization state of electromagnetic waves.

This literature review explores the emerging role of digital twin (DT) technology in ophthalmology, emphasizing its potential to revolutionize personalized medicine. DTs integrate diverse data sources, including genetic, environmental, and real-time patient data, to create dynamic, predictive models that enhance risk assessment, surgical planning, and postoperative care. The review highlights vital case studies demonstrating the application of DTs in improving the early detection and management of diseases such as glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration.

Metaverse integrates people into the virtual world, and challenges depend on advances in human, technological, and procedural dimensions. Until now, solutions to these challenges have not involved extensive neurosociological research. The study explores the pioneering neurosociological paradigm in metaverse, emphasizing its potential to revolutionize our understanding of social interactions through advanced methodologies such as hyperscanning and interbrain synchrony.
