Scientific Articles Exploration System Model based in Immersive Virtual Reality and Natural Language Processing Techniques

After having carried out a historical review and identifying the state of the art in relation to the interfaces for the exploration of scientific articles, the authors propose a model based in an immersive virtual environment, natural user interfaces and natural language processing, which provides an excellent experience for the user and allows for better use of some of its capabilities, for example, intuition and cognition in 3-dimensional environments. In this work, the Oculus Rift and Leap Motion Hardware devices are used. This work aims to contribute to the proposal of a tool which would facilitate and optimize the arduous task of reviewing literature in scientific databases. The case study is the exploration and information retrieval of scientific articles using ALICIA (Scientific database of Peru). Finally, conclusions and recommendations for future work are laid out and discussed.

在进行了历史回顾并确定了科学文章探索界面的最新技术水平之后，作者提出了一个基于沉浸式虚拟环境、自然用户界面和自然语言处理的模型，该模型为用户提供了极佳的体验，并能更好地利用用户的一些能力，例如在三维环境中的直觉和认知能力。在这项工作中，使用了Oculus Rift和Leap Motion硬件设备。这项工作旨在为提出一种工具做出贡献，该工具将促进和优化在科学数据库中查阅文献的艰巨任务。案例研究是使用ALICIA（秘鲁科学数据库）对科学文章进行探索和信息检索。最后，阐述并讨论了结论以及对未来工作的建议。
