Navigating spaces is an embodied experience. Examples can vary from rescue workers trying to save people from natural disasters; a tourist finding their way to the nearest coffee shop, or a gamer solving a maze. Virtual reality allows these…

The commercialization of Virtual Reality (VR) headsets has made immersive and 360-degree video streaming the subject of intense interest in the industry and research communities. While the basic principles of video streaming are the same,…

Sports game data is becoming increasingly complex, often consisting of multivariate data such as player performance stats, historical team records, and athletes' positional tracking information. While numerous visual analytics systems have…

In the field of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies have made huge progress during the last years and also reached the field of education. The virtuality continuum, ranging from pure virtuality on one side to the…

Appropriate evaluation is a key component in visualization research. It is typically based on empirical studies that assess visualization components or complete systems. While such studies often include the user of the visualization,…

This paper applies the principles of Virtual Reality (VR) to robots, rather than living organisms. A simulator, of either physical states or information states, renders outputs to custom displays that fool the robot's sensors. This enables…

Data visualization is the process by which data of any size or dimensionality is processed to produce an understandable set of data in a lower dimensionality, allowing it to be manipulated and understood more easily by people. The goal of…

In this work we explore the creation of self-avatars through video pass-through in Mixed Reality (MR) applications. We present our end-to-end system, including: custom MR video pass-through implementation on a commercial head mounted…

Visual scene understanding is a fundamental task in computer vision that aims to extract meaningful information from visual data. It traditionally involves disjoint and specialized algorithms for different tasks that are tailored for…

With the advent of commercially available Mixed-Reality(MR)-headsets in recent years MR-assisted learning started to play a vital role in educational research, especially related to STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics)…

We developed an application launcher called Multiverse for scientific visualizations in a CAVE-type virtual reality (VR) system. Multiverse can be regarded as a type of three-dimensional (3D) desktop environment. In Multiverse, a user in a…

Inherent uncertainty in geological data acquisition leads to the generation of large ensembles of equiprobable 3D reservoir models. Running computationally costly numerical flow simulations across such a vast solution space is infeasible. A…

This paper presents an immersive virtual reality environment that can be used to develop collaborative educational applications. Multiple users can collaborate within the virtual shared space and communicate with each other through voice.…

As software systems grow, environments that not only facilitate program comprehension through software visualization but also enable collaborative exploration of software systems become increasingly important. Most approaches to software…

Virtual reality (VR) not only allows head-mounted display (HMD) users to immerse themselves in virtual worlds but also to share them with others. When designed correctly, this shared experience can be enjoyable. However, in typical…

Achieving a symbiotic blending between reality and virtuality is a dream that has been lying in the minds of many people for a long time. Advances in various domains constantly bring us closer to making that dream come true. Augmented…

3D modeling is becoming a well-developed field of medicine, but its applicability can be limited due to the lack of software allowing for easy utilizations of generated 3D visualizations. By leveraging recent advances in virtual reality, we…

Datasets of visualization play a crucial role in automating data-driven visualization pipelines, serving as the foundation for supervised model training and algorithm benchmarking. In this paper, we survey the literature on visualization…

In most VR experiences, the visual sense dominates other modes of sensory input, encouraging non-visual senses to respond as if the visual were real. The simulated visual world thus becomes a sort of felt actuality, where the 'actual'…

Mixed reality (MR) environments are bound to become ubiquitous as MR technology becomes lighter, higher resolution, more affordable, and overall becomes a seamless extension of our current work and living spaces. For research scientists and…
