Using Virtual Reality Simulations to Study Initial Burglary Investigations
Cory P. Haberman, Ming Tang, JC Barnes, Clay Driscoll, Bradley J. O’Guinn, Calvin Proffit, University of Cincinnati
In this presentation, we discuss using virtual reality to study police investigations. First, we present the results of an experiment assessing the impact of providing investigative checklists to patrol officers responding to a burglary call for service in a large midwestern police agency. Second, we discuss the lessons learned from developing virtual reality simulations with limited budgets and student-based development teams. Third, we discuss the lessons learned from using virtual reality as a data collection technique for policing research.

eXtended Reality Lab (XR-Lab) is a research lab affiliated with the College of DAAP and Digital Futures at the University of Cincinnati. XR-Lab explores how people engage with simulated scenarios through Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, and Mixed Reality and promotes communication and collaboration through XR for education, health, safety, and professional training in both academic and industry settings.
Technologies have radically altered and reconstructed the relationships between humans, computation, and the environment. As the diagram shows, we believe AI, Digital twins, Metaverse, and XR are essential for fusing design and computation to connect humans. These technologies provide promising opportunities to empower us to rebuild a better world, physically and digitally.
We look forward to sharing our expertise and lab resources, incubating new ideas, and cultivating creativity and the digital culture of UC.

Design for Future Service, Metaverse, and Robotics
Thanks to all students from SOD and SAID who have participated in the projects. We also want to thank the help from Kroger and UC Digital Future.
Redesign retail and other service experiences (retail space, in-person service, digital service, technology) and rethink customer/business needs. Envision the future service experience of retail, hospitality, and delivery: 1) physical, 2) digital, and 3) a combination of both. Research questions include: What does the “future retail store” look like? How the online shopping and local stores pick up change the architecture of a store? How the metaverse and immersive experience can be integrated with retail? Can public and recreational programs be introduced into stores to enhance customers’ experience? How can robots assist employees and businesses in providing better service to customers? When robots coexist with people, how can we make robots more understandable and usable?
Collaborative design work from the College of DAAP.
This four-credit workshop course includes both a seminar and project development format, and develops techniques for digital modeling as they influence the process of viewing, visualizing, and forming spatial and formal relationships. The course encourages operational connections among different techniques for inquiry and visualization as a critical methodology in the design process.

SOD Studio description
Mobile Robotics Studio envisions how robotic technology can better assist people in service environments benefiting both customers and employees. Based on human-centered design and systems thinking approaches, cross-disciplinary teams of industrial, communication, and fashion design students created design solutions for product-service systems of mobile robots in retail, air travel, sports, delivery, and emergency services.
