Virtual reality in cross-border journalism. - In: The Palgrave handbook of cross-border journalism, (2023), S. 553-565
Virtual Reality (VR) is a trend in journalism since 2015, and even though it became popular fast, there is still a lot of experimental and exploratory work going on, both in practice and in research. This chapter starts with relevant and necessary definitions for key concepts and aims at analyzing the opportunities VR brings to cross-border journalism. Based on an unsystematic analysis of some VR journalism productions and discussions with several professionals, the chapter answers the following questions: What is the added-value of VR in cross-border journalism and which borders can be crossed using this technology (e.g., geographical, psychological, professional)?

Climate reporting: crossing the borders toward a global outlook. - In: The Palgrave handbook of cross-border journalism, (2023), S. 237-249
Climate change’s causal factors, impacts, and solutions cross borders in various respects. Thus, journalism must do the same to present a global outlook in climate reporting. Journalists must cross borders to give a global perspective and link it to local contexts to connect to their audiences and stimulate climate action. This chapter reviews the concept of a global journalistic outlook and cross-border journalism in the context of climate change, describes examples of the practice of cross-border journalism in climate reporting, outlines the challenges faced by journalists, and offers a future agenda for the field.

Cross-border journalism and public diplomacy. - In: The Palgrave handbook of cross-border journalism, (2023), S. 251-266
This chapter approaches cross-border journalism (CBJ) from the perspective of public diplomacy (PD). After an overview of the theoretical foundations of PD and its development in various regions of the world, the author outlines three perspectives in which public diplomacy deals with the content of cross-border journalism: (1) reactive presentation of national visibility and image, (2) proactive instruments such as international broadcasting and advocacy events to influence perceptions and create dialogues in foreign countries, and (3) a hybrid system with multidirectional information flow, social networks, and international collaborations. In conclusion, public diplomacy is increasingly taking advantage of the structural transformation of public sphere, although public diplomacy actors and media still need to strategically deal with controversies such as objectivity, inadequate dialogic communication, and legitimacy narratives.

Cross-border journalism research and practice: an introduction. - In: The Palgrave handbook of cross-border journalism, (2023), S. 1-15
This introduction sets out the rationale of the Handbook, which provides a research-oriented overview of relevant theoretical and methodological approaches to the representation and analysis of cross-border journalism. In doing so, the editors first elaborate the history and development of cross-border journalism, enumerate various terms and concepts, and emphasize the relevance of the topic. The introduction then provides a synopsis of the Handbook’s six sections and 38 chapters, with brief summaries describing what each chapter focuses on and whether it takes more of a conceptual, empirical, or practical standpoint.

Cross-border journalism and de-Westernization. - In: The Palgrave handbook of cross-border journalism, (2023), S. 67-81
Cross-border journalism (CBJ) has evolved from foreign correspondence, its dominant form for decades, to other forms like international advocacy journalism and global collaborative investigations, driven largely by the rapid development of technologies. Amid all this talk on an increasingly connected world, and on CBJ as part of the future of journalism, it is necessary to reflect: Is CBJ as described in European-North American literature really the reality for the rest of the world? How is current scholarship able to take stock of CBJ beyond the so-called mainstream West? This chapter looks at CBJ under the lens of critical de-Westernization by describing the realities of CBJ practice and research beyond the West, as well as the methodological and theoretical considerations in decentering knowledge production.

Bridging distance with a collaborative telepresence robot for older adults - report on progress in the CO-HUMANICS project. - In: ISR Europe 2023: 56th International Symposium on Robotics, (2023), S. 346-353
In an aging society, the social needs of older adults, such as regular interactions and independent living, are crucial for their quality of life. However, due to spatial separation from their family and friends, it is difficult to maintain social relationships. Our multidisciplinary project, CO-HUMANICS, aims to meet these needs, even over long distances, through the utilization of innovative technologies, including a robot-based system. This paper presents the first prototype of our system, designed to connect family members or friends virtually present through a mobile robot with an older adult. The system incorporates bi-directional video telephony, remote control capabilities, and enhanced visualization methods. A comparison is made with other state-of-the-art robotic approaches, focusing on remote control capabilities. We provide details about the hard- and software components, e.g., a projector-based pointing unit for collaborative telepresence to assist in everyday tasks. Our comprehensive scene representation is discussed, which utilizes 3D NDT maps, enabling advanced remote navigation features, such as autonomously driving to a specific object. Finally, insights about past and concepts for future evaluation are provided to assess the developed system.

Eye and face tracking in VR: avatar embodiment and enfacement with realistic and cartoon avatars. - In: MUM 2023, (2023), S. 270-278
Previous studies have explored the perception of various types of embodied avatars in immersive environments. However, the impact of eye and face tracking with personalized avatars is yet to be explored. In this paper, we investigate the impact of eye and face tracking on embodiment, enfacement, and the uncanny valley with four types of avatars using a VR-based mirroring task. We conducted a study (N=12) and created self-avatars with two rendering styles: a cartoon avatar (created in an avatar generator using a picture of the user’s face) and a photorealistic scanned avatar (created using a 3D scanner), each with and without eye and face tracking and respective adaptation of the mirror image. Our results indicate that adding eye and face tracking can be beneficial for certain enfacement scales (belonged), and we confirm that compared to a cartoon avatar, a scanned realistic avatar results in higher body ownership and increased enfacement (own face, belonging, mirror) - regardless of eye and face tracking. We critically discuss our experiences and outline the limitations of the applied hardware and software with respect to the provided level of control and the applicability for complex tasks such as displaying emotions. We synthesize these findings into a discussion about potential improvements for facial animation in VR and highlight the need for a better level of control, the integration of additional sensing and processing technologies, and an objective metric for comparing facial animation systems.

Exploring the use of social virtual reality conferences in higher education. - In: 2023 IEEE 2nd German Education Conference (GeCon), (2023), insges. 6 S.
Sparked by the recent growth of online and remote teaching formats, social virtual reality (Social VR) applications are being employed in higher education teaching. This eliminates the need for physical presence in one classroom and allows for increased accessibility of classes. More engaging distant virtual classrooms and extracurricular activities are made possible by Social VR applications like Mozilla Hubs (MH). We conducted a virtual conference in web-based MH as a cross-university collaboration for two game development courses for undergraduate and graduate students. We report on our organizational strategy and subsequent online survey evaluation of N = 29 attendees. We present solutions to problems that are frequently encountered, specifically in MH, while organizing virtual conferences.
