Asymmetric AR/VR collaboration systems bring a remote VR user to a local AR user's physical environment, allowing them to communicate and work within a shared virtual/physical space. Such systems often display the remote environment through…
MIT App Inventor is a drag-and-drop visual programming tool for designing and building fully functional mobile apps for Android. App Inventor promotes a new era of personal mobile computing in which people are empowered to design, create,…
The immersive nature of the metaverse presents significant challenges for wireless multi-user interactive virtual reality (VR), such as ultra-low latency, high throughput and intensive computing, which place substantial demands on the…
Virtual Reality (VR) headsets can open opportunities for users to accomplish complex tasks on large virtual displays, using compact setups. However, interacting with large virtual displays using existing interaction techniques might cause…
Smartphones have significantly enhanced our daily learning, communication, and entertainment, becoming an essential component of modern life. However, certain populations, including the elderly and individuals with disabilities, encounter…
Over the last years, the computational power of mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets has grown dramatically, reaching the level of desktop computers available not long ago. While standard smartphone apps are no longer a problem…
Data transformation is an essential step in data science. While experts primarily use programming to transform their data, there is an increasing need to support non-programmers with user interface-based tools. With the rapid development in…
Teleoperation offers a promising solution for enabling hands-on learning in remote education, particularly in environments requiring interaction with real-world equipment. However, such remote experiences can be costly or non-intuitive. To…
We address the problem of interactively controlling the workspace of a mobile robot to ensure a human-aware navigation. This is especially of relevance for non-expert users living in human-robot shared spaces, e.g. home environments, since…
Computer Anxiety is a phenomenon studied in multiple contexts and, in the actual COVID-19 scenario, it is gaining more and more importance as it impacts technology adoption and autonomy. People with Computer Anxiety (PwCA) might feel…
One of the activities of the Pacific Rim Applications and Grid Middleware Assembly (PRAGMA) is fostering Virtual Biodiversity Expeditions (VBEs) by bringing domain scientists and cyber infrastructure specialists together as a team. Over the…
Remote collaboration is a common reality of spatial design processes, but tools for computer aided design were made for single users. Via TeamCAD, we introduce a user experience where online remote collaboration experience is more like…
Molecular visualization software has long supported research and education in chemical and structural sciences, but consumer devices constrained to 2D inputs and outputs pose two major challenges: they poorly convey 3D nature, and 3D…
The unprecedented growth in data demand from emerging applications has turned virtual memory (VM) into a major performance bottleneck. Researchers explore new hardware/OS co-designs to optimize VM across diverse applications and systems. To…
Metaverse aims to construct a large, unified, immersive, and shared digital realm by combining various technologies, namely XR (extended reality), blockchain, and digital twin, among others. This article explores the Metaverse from the…
In this paper, we present a framework for moving compute and data between processing elements in a distributed heterogeneous system. The implementation of the framework is based on the LLVM compiler toolchain combined with the UCX…
There are a number of dedicated 3D capture devices in the market, but generally they are unaffordable and do not make use of existing smartphone cameras, which are generally of decent quality. Due to this, while there are several means to…
Our research explores the potential of a humanoid robot for work in unpredictable environments, but controlling a humanoid robot remains a very difficult problem. In our previous work, we designed a prototype virtual reality (VR) interface…
Recent research advance has significantly improved the visual realism of immersive 3D video communication. In this work we present a method to further enhance this immersive experience by adding the hand touch capability ("remote hand…
Traditional highly-centralized mobile core networks (e.g., Evolved Packet Core (EPC)) need to be constantly upgraded both in their network functions and backhaul links, to meet increasing traffic demands. Network Function Virtualization…
