Summary: Based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), this cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the acceptance of an open-source, collaborative, free m-learning app named Artefac among teachers. It also examined whether teachers' self-approach goals could be a relevant variable to include in the TAM and investigated potential differences in acceptance between school subjects, status, and contexts. The results showed that Artefac was well accepted by teachers, regardless of their school subject, status, and teaching context. Teachers' self-approach goals positively predicted perceived enjoyment and perceived ease of use but did not predict perceived usefulness for teaching.

Summary: This study revealed that before engaging in virtual reality practice, most preservice teachers focused on their personal concerns regarding VR teaching. However, as the practice progressed, some preservice teachers shifted their focus to management concerns and showed interest in learning specific ways to implement virtual reality in the classroom.

Summary: This study aims to test the acceptance of virtual reality head-mounted displays (VR-HMD) designed to enhance sport performance among athletes, and examine the influence of practice level and sport type on acceptance. The results indicate that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, perceived enjoyment, and subjective norms are positive predictors of athletes' intention to use VR-HMD.

Summary: This exploratory study investigates how preexisting technology acceptance and in-training engagement predict VR hand hygiene performance scores in medical professionals. The results show that training in the VR environment can improve performance and increase intention to further use VR training. Future research should assess the long-term effectiveness and transferability of VR training in actual patient care.

Summary: This study explored the application of immersive virtual reality (VR) in food product evaluation by comparing the effects of congruent and incongruent VR contexts on consumer acceptance. The results showed that immersive VR induced positive sensations of presence and engagement, and congruent contexts were more effective in enhancing desire and liking for the food product. This highlights the importance of VR as a tool for evaluating contextual factors in new product development.

Summary: This study provides a comprehensive examination of cybersickness in virtual reality (VR) usage, finding that it is pervasive and has a negative impact on the user experience and intentions to adopt VR technology. The latent trajectories of cybersickness are positive and curvilinear, with significant heterogeneity among individuals. Factors such as motion sickness susceptibility, cognitive stress, and recent headaches predict greater severity of cybersickness.

Summary: This study investigated learner attitudes towards using virtual reality learning environments to learn Chinese. The results showed that learners had a positive attitude towards using virtual environments for Chinese language learning. However, difficulties in interaction within the virtual environment seemed to affect learners' perceived ease of use of the technology, suggesting that consideration for learners' virtual literacies is important in designing VR learning environments.

Summary: In this experiment, we investigated the effects of augmented reality (AR) and how these effects could be influenced by privacy perceptions. Using a between-subject experimental design with 114 Korean adults, we found that AR had a significant impact on perceived ease of use but not on perceived usefulness. However, the positive effect of AR on perceived usefulness was weakened when participants were primed with privacy concerns. The results also supported a moderated mediation model, showing that the indirect effect of AR on app usage intention via perceived usefulness was moderated by privacy priming.

Summary: Virtual reality technology is being incorporated into educational settings, but research on students' perceptions and intentions to use this technology has been lacking. This study identified factors influencing students' intention to use VR in a dynamic learning environment, providing guidance for educators interested in integrating VR into their teaching practices.

Summary: This study explored students' intentions to use virtual reality (VR) for training, expanding the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to include factors relevant to using VR in dynamic learning environments. Results showed positive relationships between perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness, perceived enjoyment and ease of use positively influencing attitude, and attitude positively influencing behavioral intention to use VR.

Summary: Combining physical, motor, and cognitive exercises can effectively attenuate age-related declines in brain and cognition in older adults. Conventional combined training interventions are more effective than separated physical and motor training, but their superiority over cognitive training alone is still uncertain. Exergames rarely lead to cognitive benefits surpassing those observed after physical, motor, or cognitive training alone.

Summary: The aim of this study was to compare the behavior of older people and younger people when intercepting a moving gap. The results showed similarities in functional speed regulations and visual strategies between the two populations, but also revealed differences in the timing of speed regulations, which could lead to unsafe behavior in older drivers. The findings are important for the design of driver assistance systems for older drivers.

Summary: This study aims to understand how bees utilize optical invariants to navigate safely during changes in altitude. The experiment demonstrated that when both invariants were available, bees primarily relied on the optical speed rate of change to control their altitude. However, when the optical speed rate of change was less accessible, the splay angle rate of change was prioritized, unless impending danger was perceived. These findings illustrate how the joint use of multiple invariants enables bees to navigate adaptively in unknown or cluttered environments.

Summary: A study was conducted to investigate the altitude control mechanism in honeybees. An optical configuration was designed to mimic the conditions experienced by honeybees over a natural water body. The results confirmed that a reduction or absence of ventral optic flow in honeybees leads to a loss in altitude and eventual collision with the floor.
