The metro as a form of public transportation is an important urban infrastructure that takes a large population from place A to B every day. To achieve that, it is primarily designed for extreme functionality and efficiency. However, in…
This paper introduces immersive humanitarian visualization as a promising research area in information visualization. Humanitarian visualizations are data visualizations designed to promote human welfare. This paper explains why immersive…
As social VR applications grow in popularity, blind and low vision users encounter continued accessibility barriers. Yet social VR, which enables multiple people to engage in the same virtual space, presents a unique opportunity to allow…
Virtual reality has proved to be useful in applications in several fields ranging from gaming, medicine, and training to development of interfaces that enable human-robot collaboration. It empowers designers to explore applications outside…
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…
As Extended Reality (XR) systems increasingly map and understand the physical world, interacting with these blended representations remains challenging. The current push for "natural" inputs has its trade-offs: touch is limited by human…
Personal computers and handheld devices provide keyboard shortcuts and swipe gestures to enable users to efficiently switch between applications, whereas today's virtual reality (VR) systems do not. In this work, we present an exploratory…
While deep learning methods have achieved impressive success in many vision benchmarks, it remains difficult to understand and explain the representations and decisions of these models. Though vision models are typically trained on 2D…
Shared displays are well suited to public viewing and collaboration, however they lack personal space to view private information and act without disturbing others. Combining them with Augmented Reality (AR) headsets allows interaction…
Mixed Reality (MR) is a powerful interactive technology that yields new types of user experience. We present a semantic based interactive MR framework that exceeds the current geometry level approaches, a step change in generating…
Augmented Reality (AR) enriches a user's real environment by adding spatially aligned virtual objects (3D models, 2D textures, textual annotations, etc) by means of special display technologies. These are either worn on the body or placed…
We developed a novel virtual reality [VR] platform with 3-dimensional sounds to help improve sensory integration and visuomotor processing for postural control and fall prevention in individuals with balance problems related to sensory…
Brushing and linking is widely used for visual analytics in desktop environments. However, using this approach to link many data items between situated (e.g., a virtual screen with data) and embedded views (e.g., highlighted objects in the…
In augmented reality (AR), where digital content is overlaid onto the real world, realistic thermal feedback has been shown to enhance immersion. Yet current thermal feedback devices, heavily influenced by the needs of virtual reality,…
Alignment between real and virtual objects is a challenging task required for the deployment of Mixed Reality (MR) into manufacturing, medical, and construction applications. To face this challenge, a series of methods have been proposed.…
Augmented Reality is the fusion of virtual components and our real surroundings. The simultaneous visibility of generated and natural objects often requires users to direct their selective attention to a specific target that is either real…
Peripheral vision plays a significant role in human perception and orientation. However, its relevance for human-computer interaction, especially head-mounted displays, has not been fully explored yet. In the past, a few specialized…
In this position paper, we discuss symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in adults, as well as available forms of treatment or assistance in the context of mixed reality. Mixed reality offers many potentials for…
Improving object manipulation skills through hand-object interaction exercises is crucial for rehabilitation. Despite limited healthcare resources, physical therapists propose remote exercise routines followed up by remote monitoring.…
Robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery has shown to improve patient outcomes, as well as reduce complications and recovery time for several clinical applications. While increasingly configurable robotic arms can maximize reach and avoid…
