Spatial Augmented Reality (SAR) systems can be used to convey guidance in a physical task from a remote expert. Sometimes that remote expert is provided with a single camera view of the workspace but, if they are given a live captured 3D model and can ...

Recent developments in touch and display technologies have laid the groundwork to combine touch-sensitive display systems with stereoscopic three-dimensional (3D) display. Although this combination provides a compelling user experience, interaction with ...

We introduce new metrics to help explain 3D pointing device movement characteristics. We present a study to assess these by comparing two cursor control modes using a Sony PS Move. "Laser" mode used ray casting, while "position" mode mapped absolute ...

In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of the Pure Land AR, which is an installation that employs spatial user interface and allows users to virtually visit the UNESCO world heritage -- Mogao Caves by using handheld devices. The ...

In this work, we study ways to use a portable projector to extend the workspace in a perspective corrected multi display environment (MDE). This system uses the relative position between the user and displays in order to show the content perpendicularly ...

The ability to use free-hand gestures is extremely important for mobile augmented reality applications. This paper proposes a computer vision-driven model for natural free-hands interaction in augmented reality. The novelty of the research is the use of ...

Multi-sensory displays provide information to users through multiple senses, not only through visuals. They can be designed for the purpose of creating a more-natural interface for users or reducing the cognitive load of a visual-only display. However, ...

We present a study that investigates user performance benefits of using head tracking in modern video games. We explored four different carefully chosen commercial games with tasks which can potentially benefit from head tracking. For each game, ...

Analysis of volume datasets often involves peering inside the volume to understand internal structures. Traditional approaches involve removing part of the volume through slicing, but this can result in the loss of context. Focus+context visualization ...

IllusionHole (IH) is an interactive stereoscopic tabletop display that allows multiple users to interactively observe and directly point at a particular position of a stereoscopic object in a shared workspace. We explored a mid-air direct multi-finger ...

We introduce FocalSpace, a video conferencing system that dynamically recognizes relevant activities and objects through depth sensing and hybrid tracking of multimodal cues, such as voice, gesture, and proximity to surfaces. FocalSpace uses this ...

We report a 3D selection study comparing stereo and head-tracking with both mouse and pen pointing. Results indicate stereo was primarily beneficial to the pen mode, but slightly hindered mouse speed. Head tracking had fewer noticeable effects.

We aim at combining surface generation by hands with 3D painting in a large space, from 10 to ~200 m2 (for a stage setup). Our long-term goal is to phase 3D surface generation in choreography, in order to produce augmented dance shows where the dancer ...

In this poster we present an exploratory bottom-up experiment to assess the user's choices in terms of bodily interactions when facing a set of tasks. 29 subjects were asked to perform basic tasks on a large screen TV in three positions: standing, ...

As sensing technology has evolved, spatial user interfaces have become increasingly popular platforms for interacting with video games and virtual environments. In particular, recent advances in consumer-level motion tracking devices such as the ...

We propose a virtually tangible 3D interaction system that enables direct interaction with three dimensional virtual objects which are presented on an autostereoscopic display.

We present an experiment that examines 3D pointing in fish tank VR using the ISO 9241-9 standard. The experiment used three pointing techniques: mouse, ray, and touch using a stylus. It evaluated user pointing performance with stereoscopically displayed ...

To enable socially situated human-robot interaction, a robot must both understand and control proxemics, the social use of space, to employ communication mechanisms analogous to those used by humans. In this work, we investigate speech and gesture ...

We propose a real-time image-based animation technique for virtual fitting applications. Our method uses key image finding from a database which uses skeletal data as a search key, and then create in-between images by using image morphing. Comparing to ...

We describe two approaches to augment multi-touch user input with commodity devices (Kinect and wiiMote).

This poster focuses on research investigating the control of an immersive virtual environment using the Emotiv EPOC, a consumer-grade brain computer interface. The primary emphasis of the work is to determine the feasibility of the Emotiv EPOC at ...
