TLDR
The challenges each of these factors present to the effective design of virtual environments and systematic approaches to the resolution of each of them are discussed.Abstract:
Virtual environments are envisioned as being systems that will enhance the communication between humans and computers. If virtual systems are to be effective and well received by their users, considerable human-factors research needs to be accomplished. This paper provides an overview of many of these human-factors issues, including human performance efficiency in virtual worlds (which is likely influenced by task characteristics, user characteristics, human sensory and motor physiology, multimodal interaction, and the potential need for new design metaphors); health and safety issues (of which cybersickness and deleterious physiological aftereffects may pose the most concern); and the social impact of the technology. The challenges each of these factors present to the effective design of virtual environments and systematic approaches to the resolution of each of these issues are discussed.read more

Human Performance Issues and User Interface Design for Teleoperated Robots
TL;DR: A detailed examination of more than 150 papers covering human performance issues and suggested mitigation solutions is presented, summarizes the performance decrements caused by video images bandwidth, time lags, frame rates, lack of proprioception, frame of reference, two-dimensional views, attention switches, and motion effects.

An experimental study on the role of touch in shared virtual environments
TL;DR: The outcomes of this research can have a powerful impact on the development of next-generation human-computer interfaces and network protocols that integrate touch and force feedback technology into the internet, development of protocols and techniques for collaborative teleoperation such as hazardous material removal, space station.

Presence and Cybersickness in Virtual Reality Are Negatively Related: A Review
TL;DR: It is concluded that the balance of evidence favors a negative relationship between the two factors which is driven principally by sensory integration processes.

Toward a Theory of Instruction
TL;DR: Bruner's "Toward a Theory of Instruction" as mentioned in this paper is an illuminating examination of how mental growth proceeds, and the ways in which teaching can profitably adapt itself to that progression and can also help it along.

Defining virtual reality: dimensions determining telepresence
TL;DR: This paper attempts to cast a new, variable-based definition of virtual reality that can be used to classify virtual reality in relation to other media, based on concepts of "presence" and "telepresence".
