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…

Vibration transmission is essential in the design of comfortable vehicle seats but knowledge is lacking on 3D trunk and head motion and the role of seat back and posture. We hypothesized that head motion is reduced when participants upper…

Recent research has proposed teleoperation of robotic and aerial vehicles using head motion tracked by a head-mounted display (HMD). First-person views of the vehicles are usually captured by onboard cameras and presented to users through…

We proposed viewpoint-tolerant shared depth perception without individual tracking by leveraging human cognitive compensation in universally 3D rendered images on a wall-sized display. While traditional 3D perception-enabled display systems…

This paper investigates how the size of virtual space and objects within it affect the threshold range of relative translation gains, a Redirected Walking (RDW) technique that scales the user's movement in virtual space in different ratios…

Augmented Reality (AR) navigation via Head-Mounted Displays (HMDs), particularly AR glasses, is revolutionizing the driving experience by integrating real-time routing information into the driver's field of view. Despite the potential of AR…

Body actions and head gestures are natural interfaces for interaction in virtual environments. Existing methods for in-place body action recognition often require hardware more than a head-mounted display (HMD), making body action…

Virtual reality (VR) users often encounter interruptions, posing challenges to maintaining real-world awareness during immersive experiences. The Passthrough feature in VR headsets allows users to view their physical surroundings without…

Head Mounted Displays (HMDs) allow users to experience virtual reality with a great level of immersion. However, even simple physical tasks like drinking a beverage can be difficult and awkward while in a virtual reality experience. We…

Immersiveness is the main characteristic of Virtual Reality(VR) applications. Precise integration between hardware design and software are necessary for providing a seamless virtual experience. Allowing the user to navigate the VR scene…

Stereoscopic head-mounted displays (HMDs) render and present binocular images to create an egocentric, 3D percept to the HMD user. Within this render and presentation pipeline there are potential rendering camera and viewing position errors…

Reality Distortion Room (RDR) is a proof-of-concept augmented reality system using projection mapping and unencumbered interaction with the Microsoft RoomAlive system to study a user's locomotive response to visual effects that seemingly…

Virtual reality (VR) introduces sensory perturbations that may impact perception and action. The current study was designed to investigate how immersive VR presented through a head-mounted display (HMD) affects perceived functional body…

Utilizing the mmWave band can potentially achieve the high data rate needed for realistic and seamless interaction within a virtual reality (VR) application. To this end, beamforming in both the access point (AP) and head-mounted display…

Head pose estimation and tracking is useful in variety of medical applications. With the advent of RGBD cameras like Kinect, it has become feasible to do markerless tracking by estimating the head pose directly from the point clouds. One…

Using virtual reality (VR) head-mounted displays (HMDs) can induce VR sickness. VR sickness can cause strong discomfort, decrease users' presence and enjoyment, especially in games, shorten the duration of the VR experience, and can even…

In this paper, we introduce a new methodology for assessing the positioning accuracy of virtual reality (VR) headsets, utilizing a cooperative industrial robot to simulate user head trajectories in a reproducible manner. We conduct a…

Virtual Reality, and Extended Reality in general, connect the physical body with the virtual world. Movement of our body translates to interactions with this virtual world. Only by moving our head will we see a different perspective. By…

Optical see-though head-mounted displays (OST HMDs) are one of the key technologies for merging virtual objects and physical scenes to provide an immersive mixed reality (MR) environment to its user. A fundamental limitation of HMDs is,…

Text selection is an essential activity in interactive systems, including virtual reality (VR) head-mounted displays (HMDs). It is useful for: sharing information across apps or platforms, highlighting and making notes while reading…
