Abstract

We introduce a new paradigm of collaborative computing called the Ubiquitous Collaborative Activity Virtual Environment (UCAVE). UCAVEs are portable immersive virtual environments that leverage mobile communication platforms, motion trackers and displays to facilitate ad-hoc virtual collaboration. We discuss design criteria and research challenges for UCAVEs, as well as a prototype hardware configuration that enables UCAVE interactions using modern smart phones and head mounted displays.

Viewpoint-sharing method with reduced motion sickness in object-based VR/AR collaborative virtual environment
Abstract
We propose a viewpoint-sharing method with reduced motion sickness in an object-based remote collaborative virtual environment (CVE). The method is designed with an assumption of asymmetric, object-based CVE where collaborators use non-homogeneous ...
