This work represents the initial development of a haptic display system for increased presence in virtual experiences. The developed system creates a two-way connection between a virtual space, mediated through a virtual reality headset,…
With the arrival of digital maps, the ubiquity of maps has increased sharply and new map functionalities have become available such as changing the scale on the fly or displaying/hiding layers. Users can now interact with maps on multiple…
Humans are highly skilled in communicating their intent for when and where a handover would occur. However, even the state-of-the-art robotic implementations for handovers typically lack of such communication skills. This study investigates…
Around-device interaction promises to extend the input space of mobile and wearable devices beyond the common but restricted touchscreen. So far, most around-device interaction approaches rely on instrumenting the device or the environment…
Mobile navigation apps are among the most used mobile applications and are often used as a baseline to evaluate new mobile navigation technologies in field studies. As field studies often introduce external factors that are hard to control…
Augmented reality (AR) is often realized through head-mounted displays, offering immersive but egocentric experiences. While smartphone-based AR is more accessible, it remains limited to handheld, single-user interaction. We introduce…
Perceiving spatial information of a virtual object (e.g, direction, distance) is critical yet challenging for blind users seeking an immersive virtual reality (VR) experience. To facilitate VR accessibility for blind users, in this paper,…
We introduce the notion of an Active Proxy interface, i.e. tangible models as proxies for physical data referents, supporting interactive exploration of data through active manipulation. We realise an active proxy data visualisation system,…
Exploring and manipulating complex virtual objects is challenging due to limitations of conventional controllers and free-hand interaction techniques. We present the TanGi toolkit which enables novices to rapidly build physical proxy…
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.…
Knowing who is in one's vicinity is key to managing privacy in everyday environments, but is challenging for people with visual impairments. Wearable cameras and other sensors may be able to detect such information, but how should this…
Vibrations emitted by smartphones have become a part of our daily lives. The vibrations can add various meanings to the information people obtain from the screen. Hence, it is worth understanding the perceptual transformation of vibration…
Virtual Reality (VR) becomes accessible to mimic a "real-like" world now. People who have a VR experience usually can be impressed by the immersive feeling, they might consider themselves are actually existed in the VR space.…
In this work, we address the issue of a virtual representation of objects of cultural heritage for haptic interaction. Our main focus is to provide haptic access to artistic objects of any physical scale to the differently-abled people.…
This paper presents an approach to teleoperate a manipulator using a mobile phone as a leader device. Using its IMU and camera, the phone estimates its Cartesian pose which is then used to to control the Cartesian pose of the robot's tool.…
The information provided to a person's visual system by extended reality (XR) displays is not a veridical match to the information provided by the real world. Due in part to graphical limitations in XR head-mounted displays (HMDs), which…
Human sensory processing is sensitive to the proximity of stimuli to the body. It is therefore plausible that these perceptual mechanisms also modulate the detectability of content in VR, depending on its location. We evaluate this in a…
Augmented reality (AR) allows virtual information to be presented in the real world, providing support for numerous tasks including search and navigation. Allowing users access to multiple navigation aids may help leverage the benefits of…
Communication is the most useful tool to impart knowledge, understand ideas, clarify thoughts and expressions, organize plan and manage every single day-to-day activity. Although there are different modes of communication, physical barrier…
This bachelor's thesis describes the conception and implementation of an augmented reality application for the Android platform. The intention is to demonstrate some possibilities of interaction within an augmented reality environment on…
