New research reveals that synchronized foot vibrations and posture significantly enhance virtual walking experiences for stationary observers, improving self-motion, walking sensation, and embodiment. Standing posture was most effective, but sitting and lying positions also benefited from synchronized vibrations. These findings have practical applications in virtual reality (VR) for training, rehabilitation, and entertainment, offering improved immersion and realism even for users with physical limitations.New research reveals that synchronized foot vibrations and posture significantly enhance virtual walking experiences for stationary observers, improving self-motion, walking sensation, and embodiment.

Automatic bug assignment has been well studied in the past decade. As textual bug reports usually describe the buggy phenomena and potential causes, engineers highly depend on these reports to fix bugs. Researchers heavily depend on the textual content in the bug reports to locate the buggy files. However, noises in texts bring adverse impacts to automatic bug assignments unexpectedly, mainly due to insufficiency of classical Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques.Automatic bug assignment has been well studied in the past decade.

Last week, quantum computers were added to Australia’s Defense and Strategic Goods List of controlled items facing export restrictions. That’s because quantum technologies—which may soon provide huge advances in computing, communication and sensing—are rapidly growing in strategic importance.Last week, quantum computers were added to Australia’s Defense and Strategic Goods List of controlled items facing export restrictions.
