Purpose: This study investigates the comparative effectiveness of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies in welding operator training, with a focus on perceived realism and potential for skill transfer. Given the high-risk nature of welding, the research explores safer and more efficient alternatives to traditional hands-on instruction. Design/methodology/approach: A total of 40 certified welders with at least five years of experience participated in a controlled comparison of VR and AR training systems at a laboratory in the Walbrzych Special Economic Zone in Poland. Both systems were enhanced with standardized instructions based on the Training Within Industry (TWI) Job Instruction method. After practicing the same welding task in both environments, participants rated the realism of each experience using a 5-point Likert scale. A paired sample t-test was used to assess statistical significance. Findings: The results show that AR training was perceived as significantly more realistic than VR, with average ratings of 4.13 and 2.55 respectively. Participants highlighted the physical interaction with real tools and objects in AR as a major factor contributing to this realism. VR, while immersive and safe, lacked haptic feedback and physical context, which reduced its perceived authenticity. The findings support the use of AR for enhancing skill transfer and suggest a blended training model using both technologies. Research limitations/implications: This study focuses on subjective assessments of realism without measuring actual skill improvement post-training. Future research should incorporate objective performance evaluations and explore long-term learning outcomes. Practical implications: The study provides evidence for training designers and manufacturers on how to integrate AR and VR in welding instruction. AR shows promise for improving trainee readiness and reducing material costs, while VR remains valuable for safe repetition of basic techniques. Originality/value: The article offers a novel comparison of VR and AR in the context of welding, based on evaluations from experienced welders rather than novices. It also integrates the TWI Job Instruction method into both training environments, providing a standardized instructional foundation for fair comparison and improved consistency.

As an important natural and cultural landscape in Europe, the Rhine basin is both an expression of ecological values and an important carrier of cultural memory. However, with increasing urbanisation and globalisation, its local landscapes and ecosystems are under threat. This study focuses on exploring the dual role of local landscapes in spatial memory and sustainable development. Through visual landscape analysis, cultural narrative coding, VR modelling and questionnaire survey, the study found that the visual attractiveness and cultural significance of ecological landscapes can significantly enhance spatial memory, and that VR technology can increase public awareness and participation in conservation through immersive experiences. By employing Carbon Sink Capacity Analysis Model and Water Resource Regulation Model, this study found that the area around the cultural landmarks is particularly strong in terms of carbon sinks, water regulation and other ecological functions. This study provides a new theoretical framework and practical way forward for landscape conservation and ecological education.

To enhance the conceptual expression of architectural design and enhance the interactive experience, and to strengthen the application of computer technology in architectural design drawings, this study explores architectural design methods on the ground of image deep learning image recognition technology and augmented reality technology. The experiment demonstrated that when the accuracy of the improved You Only Look Once version 4 (YOLOv4) model was 0.9, the recall rate was 0.98, and the curve area was 0.93. The model loss function curve converged to the minimum value of 0.04, with the fastest convergence speed and the highest model recognition efficiency. Its time consumption was decreased by as much as 70.06%, indicating better overall performance. Meanwhile, the clustering strategy design of the model was relatively optimal, with the highest values of purity, standard mutual information, and Rand coefficient reaching 0.944, 0.931, and 0.942, respectively. In practical analysis of architectural design, the average accuracy and intersection over union of the improved YOLOv4 model confirmed the good detection performance of this method. The application of virtual reality technology in building information models has significantly improved the visualization delay rate, and the subjective evaluation of users was relatively high.

The transmission of hidden information in the form of cryptographic techniques has been known to mankind since the dawn of time. Initially simple, basic encryption has evolved into sophisticated steganographic hiding of information gaining more and more resistance to breakage with the development of technology. It is very difficult to develop a new, effective encryption algorithm. Therefore, it becomes very important to skillfully use already existing cryptographic algorithms and develop a new general encryption algorithm. The idea of where to hide the data also becomes important. The article proposes an author's novel system for decomposing the hidden information. Using steganography, a fragmented password is hidden in 3D objects in the Virtual Reality application world. The data is hidden directly in the VR world (a multiplayer simple game) with the caveat, however, that not everyone knows where to look for it. The time in which the information is sought is also important. Clues as to how , when and where to find the data are encoded in 3D objects. The possibility of hiding information in the metadata, in the texture, in the coordinates of the vertices of the objects and also in the UV map has been thoroughly investigated.
