1st International Workshop on Real and Virtual Spaces Influences (ReViSI)

The International Workshop on Real and Virtual Spaces Influences (ReViSI) promotes a multidisciplinary dialogue on the interplay between real and virtual environments, addressing the central question: how do these domains influence one another? The workshop seeks to advance understanding of whether real-world stimuli can enhance presence in Extended Reality (XR) and how virtual stimuli may reshape perceptions of the physical world. Topics of interest include enhancing presence and social presence in XR through congruent real-virtual environments, identifying best practices for integrating real-world elements to enrich XR experiences, and exploring the potential of real-world stimuli to improve, for instance, training and rehabilitation outcomes in virtual reality. Additionally, the workshop examines how virtual stimuli can alter real-world perception and identifies sensory modalities most affected by virtual stimuli. By addressing these themes, the workshop aims to contribute novel insights to the growing field of real-virtual synergy and its applications.
