Imagining Ecocentric Futures Through Media: Biocentric Evaluation Questionnaire for Degrowth and Non-Anthropocentric Societies

Erik Geslin · 12 Sep 2025

Media shape and reflect social imaginaries, influencing collective beliefs, norms, and aspirations. Video games and films frequently depict themes like urbanization, dystopian futures, and resource-driven expansion, often envisioning humanity colonizing new planets after depleting Earth’s resources. Such narratives risk reinforcing exploitative attitudes toward the environment, extending them to new frontiers. Research has shown that media,…

VisFactory: Adaptive Multimodal Digital Twin with Integrated Visual-Haptic-Auditory Analytics for Industry 4.0 Engineering Education

Tsung-Ching Lin, Cheng‐Nan Chiu, Po-Tong Wang et al. · 18 Aug 2025

Industry 4.0 has intensified the skills gap in industrial automation education, with graduates requiring extended on boarding periods and supplementary training investments averaging USD 11,500 per engineer. This paper introduces VisFactory, a multimedia learning system that extends the cognitive theory of multimedia learning by incorporating haptic feedback as a third processing channel alongside visual and…

Uses of Metaverse Recordings in Multimedia Information Retrieval

Patrick Steinert, Stefan Wagenpfeil, Ingo Frommholz et al. · 10 Aug 2025

Metaverse Recordings (MVRs), screen recordings of user experiences in virtual environments, represent a mostly underexplored field. This article addresses the integration of MVR and Multimedia Information Retrieval (MMIR). Unlike conventional media, MVRs can include additional streams of structured data, such as Scene Raw Data (SRD) and Peripheral Data (PD), which capture graphical rendering states and…

Development of a Generative AI-Based Workflow for the Design and Integration of 3D Assets in XR Environments for Research

Jose Luis Rubio Tamayo, M Rico Bernal · 7 Apr 2026

Scalable production of interactive 3D assets is a key requirement for XR-based applications, yet the functional integration of GenAI-generated assets into game engines remains challenging for non-expert users. This article proposes and validates a Prompt-to-Trigger workflow that links GenAI-based asset ideation and generation with the implementation of basic interactive behaviors (triggers) in accessible XR platforms.…

Self-Determined Learning in Multilingual Distance Education: A Review on Heutagogical Practices, Autonomy, Metacognition and Technology-Enhanced Learning

Theodoros Vavouras, Alexandros Gazis, Vasileios Mellos et al. · 11 Feb 2026

This paper aims to study how heutagogy relates to multilingualism and distance education regarding augmenting learner autonomy, meta-linguistic awareness, and overall learning objectives. As such, in our modern age, pedagogical models have shifted their focus and promote self-regulation and flexible learning of students, focusing on broad principles such as andragogy and heutagogy. This means that…
