How to toggle Between VR and Non-VR Cameras in Unity

Limitations of testing VR interactions with the simulator While the XR Device Simulator allows us to simulate a VR experience, it should not be used to test VR interactions. For instance, you can try and test interactions like grabbing and rotating different objects e.g. grab a fruit or twist a valve. If you manage to get the inputs right from the mouse and keyboard, you will notice that it is hard to operate and can even feel inaccurate at times. There is simply a major difference between mouse and keyboard input and tracking input from the VR headset and controllers. For validation of the VR interactions and user experience, it is essential to use the VR headset and controllers. On the other hand, the XR device simulator is easy to use for early (or frequent) testing and debugging. Main Concepts XR Device Simulator in Unity VR camera vs. non-VR camera usage Toggling between VR and non-VR modes for testing Learning Goals Understand how to switch between VR and non-VR cameras in Unity Learn how to use the XR Device Simulator to test VR scenes without a headset Know how to control the simulated rig using keyboard and mouse inputs Key Takeaways The XR Device Simulator allows VR scene testing without a physical headset Toggling the Device Simulator on switches Unity to non-VR camera mode Disabling the Device Simulator reverts back to the VR camera for headset use The simulator supports basic movement and interaction testing, though it can be clunky Further Exploration Search for “Unity XR Interaction Toolkit” Search for “Unity XR Device Simulator setup” Search for “Testing VR applications without headset in Unity” Explore Unity’s Input System for VR and non-VR controls

Self-study module Introduction to Plant Biology - Plant hormones

This self-study module is part of the series ‘Introduction to Plant Biology’ and introduces plant hormones, explaining how chemical signaling enables communication and coordination within plants. It is designed for students learning basic plant biology and for teachers seeking clear figures and explanations for educational use. The module covers fundamental concepts of cell signaling and signal transduction and examines the functions and interactions of major plant hormones, including auxin, cytokinin, abscisic acid, gibberellins, ethylene, salicylic acid, jasmonic acid, brassinosteroids, and strigolactones, in regulating plant growth, development, and responses to the environment.

Learning Activities mapping exercise for interdisciplinary education

This tool can be used to create an overview of how the various learning activities of an interdisciplinary course are organised throughout time. It can help create flow in a course, but can also help find obstacles or hiccups in the planning of a course.

Adhesive Connections in Glass Constructions

In this video, Christiane Kothe explains the use of structural adhesive bonding in glass construction, a technology with ancient roots that was revolutionized by modern synthetic and silicone adhesives. Adhesive connections offer key advantages over mechanical fixings, including transparent aesthetics, the ability to join different materials, and even stress distribution, which reduces local weak points. However, their success depends on meticulous surface preparation and managing long curing times, which can impact production efficiency. The video covers the fundamental principles of adhesion and cohesion, the chemical curing process of structural adhesives, and the critical importance of surface pre-treatments to ensure bond strength and long-term durability. Through methods like contact angle measurement and mechanical testing, including accelerated aging, the performance and reliability of these bonds can be validated. When applied correctly, adhesive connections significantly enhance the safety, efficiency, and design possibilities of modern glass structures. The video was produced by the Open GLASSroom project.

The Rest Is History | Julius Caesar, with Mary Beard

What is the main difference between Julius Caesar and Alexander the Great? When did Julius Caesar become one of the major players of the Roman Republic? What was the true nature of Caesar’s relationship with Cleopatra? How did he manage to defeat his enemies to become Dictator of Rome for life? And, how did he finally meet his violent, blood-spattered end? In the third episode of this exclusive new series on ancient history, Tom is joined again by the world renowned classicist Mary Beard, to discuss Julius Caesar: the legendary Roman general who changed Rome forever, and doomed himself along the way… Senior Producer: Theo Young-Smith Producer: Tabby Syrett Assistant Producer: Aaliyah Akude Video Editor: Jack Meek Social Producer: Harry Balden

An analysis of the current developments and scenarios for the transition to a fossil-free energy society this century

This century, greenhouse gas emissions such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrogen oxides must be significantly reduced. Greenhouse gases absorb and emit infrared radiation that contributes to global warming, which can lead to irreversible negative consequences for humans and the environment. Greenhouse gases are caused by the burning of fossil fuels such as crude oil, coal, and natural gas, but livestock farming and agriculture are also to blame. In addition, deforestation contributes to more greenhouse gases. Of the natural greenhouse gases, water vapor is the main cause of the greenhouse effect, accounting for 90%. The remaining 10% is caused from high to low by carbon dioxide, methane, nitrogen oxides, chlorofluorocarbons, and ozone. In addition, there are industrial greenhouse gases such as fluorinated hydrocarbons, sulphur hexafluoride, and nitrogen trifluoride that contribute to the greenhouse effect too. Greenhouse gases are a major cause of climate change, with far-reaching consequences for the welfare of humans and animals. In some regions, extreme weather events like rainfall are more common, while others are associated with more extreme heat waves and droughts. Sea level rise caused by melting ice and an increase in forest fires are undesirable effects of climate change. Countries in low-lying areas fear that sea level rise will force their populations to move to the higher-lying areas. Climate change is affecting the entire world. An estimated 30-40% o f the carbon dioxide released by the combustion of fossil fuels dissolves into the surface water, resulting in an increased concentration of hydrogen ions. This causes the seawater to become more acidic, resulting in a decreasing of carbonate ions. Carbonate ions are an important building block for forming and maintaining calcium carbonate structures of organisms such as oysters, mussels, sea urchins, shallow water corals, deep sea corals, and calcareous plankton.
