This paper presents the results of an experimental study on designing for self-efficacy in a game based driving simulator. Self-efficacy refers to how peoplepsilas beliefs in their capabilities affect their actions. The results show that the design of the feedback system can be used to increase self-efficacy measures thus affecting performance in a driving simulator environment. Self-efficacy has...
Advances in Internet connections speeds and computer hardware means that web content has grown richer and more interactive for users. One such area is Web3D which has seen the emergence of ISO standard technologies such as VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) and its XML-based (eXtensible Markup Language) successor X3D(eXtensible 3D). X3D, in particular, presents opportunities for further integration...
