Based on electromagnetic and acoustic transformation theory, a new strategy has been presented in this article to implement double invisibility cloaking, which has not been done yet. By applying a combination of four conventional cloaking…
We propose a composite optical transformation to design an illusion device which can move the image of a target from one place to another place. Enclosed by such an illusion device, an arbitrary object located at one place appears to be at…
Virtual reality and related technologies such as mixed and augmented reality have received extensive coverage in both mainstream and fringe media outlets. When the subject goes to a new AR headset, another AR device, or AR glasses, the talk…
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.…
Virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) systems are emerging technologies requiring data rates of multiple Gbps. Existing high quality VR headsets require connections through HDMI cables to a computer rendering rich graphic contents to meet…
We demonstrate three simple cloaking devices that can hide very large spatial objects over the entire visible spectrum using only passive, off-the-shelf optics. The cloaked region for all of the devices exceeds 10^6 mm3 with the largest…
Augmented reality (AR) has the potential to revolutionize the way in which information is presented by overlaying virtual information onto a person's direct view of their real-time surroundings. By placing the display on the surface of the…
Invisibility or cloaking has captured human's imagination for many years. With the recent advancement of metamaterials, several theoretical proposals show cloaking of objects is possible, however, so far there is a lack of an experimental…
Invisibility cloaks of light, which used to be confined to the imagination, have now been turned into a scientific reality, thanks to the enabling theoretical tools of transformation optics and conformal mapping. Inspired by those…
Interacting with real-world objects in Mixed Reality (MR) often proves difficult when they are crowded, distant, or partially occluded, hindering straightforward selection and manipulation. We observe that these difficulties stem from…
Optical cloaking consists in hiding from sight an object by properly deviating the light that comes from it. An optical cloaking device (OCD) is an artifact that hides the object and, at the same time, its presence is not (or should not be)…
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…
Normally, the focal length of a conventional lens is fixed. Scientists have made much effort in modulating it into bifocal, which is very important for virtual reality (VR) and argument reality (AR) 3D display. It is even much more…
This chapter gives an overview of interaction techniques for mixed reality including augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR). Various modalities for input and output are discussed. Specifically, techniques for tangible and surface-based…
We introduce an all-optical system, termed the "lying mirror", to hide input information by transforming it into misleading, ordinary-looking patterns that effectively camouflage the underlying image data and deceive the observers. This…
Recent progress in mixed reality (MR) and robotics is enabling increasingly sophisticated forms of human-robot collaboration. Building on these developments, we introduce a novel MR framework that allows multiple quadruped robots to operate…
