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…
Augmented Reality (AR) brings immersive experiences to users. With recent advances in computer vision and mobile computing, AR has scaled across platforms, and has increased adoption in major products. One of the key challenges in enabling…
We present Project IRL (In Real Life), a suite of five mobile apps we created to explore novel ways of supporting in-person social interactions with augmented reality. In recent years, the tone of public discourse surrounding digital…
Augmented reality (AR) is one of the relatively old, yet trending areas in the intersection of computer vision and computer graphics with numerous applications in several areas, from gaming and entertainment, to education and healthcare.…
Young adults often take breaks from screen-intensive work by consuming digital content on mobile phones, which undermines rest through visual fatigue and inactivity. We introduce a design framework that embeds light break activities into…
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…
Route planning and navigation are common tasks that often require additional information on points of interest. Augmented Reality (AR) enables mobile users to utilize text labels, in order to provide a composite view associated with…
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…
End-to-End Encryption (E2EE) ensures that only the intended recipient(s) can read messages. Popular instant messaging (IM) applications such as Signal, WhatsApp, Apple's iMessage, and Telegram claim to offer E2EE. However, client-side…
Current robot interfaces such as teach pendants and 2D screen displays used for task visualization and interaction often seem unintuitive and limited in terms of information flow. This compromises task efficiency as interacting with the…
Personalized Active Learner (PAL) is a wearable system for real-time, personalized, and context-aware health and cognition support. PAL's system consists of a wearable device, mobile app, cloud database, data visualization web app, and…
Smart mirrors have emerged as a new form of augmented reality (AR) interface for home environments. However, due to the parallax in human vision, one major challenge hindering their development is the depth misalignment between the 3D…
The ability to interpret social cues comes naturally for most people, but for those living with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), some experience a deficiency in this area. This paper presents the development of a multimodal augmented reality…
