Storytelling with family photos, as an important mode of reminiscence-based activities, can be instrumental in promoting intergenerational communication between grandparents and grandchildren by strengthening generation bonds and shared…
Radar as a remote sensing technology has been used to analyze human activity for decades. Despite all the great features such as motion sensitivity, privacy preservation, penetrability, and more, radar has limited spatial degrees of freedom…
Telepresence robots can be used to support users to navigate an environment remotely and share the visiting experience with their social partners. Although such systems allow users to see and hear the remote environment and communicate with…
This paper introduces an augmented reality (AR) captioning framework designed to support Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH) learners in STEM classrooms by integrating non-verbal emotional cues into live transcriptions. Unlike conventional…
Over 43 million people worldwide live with severe visual impairment, facing significant challenges in navigating unfamiliar environments. We present MR.NAVI, a mixed reality system that enhances spatial awareness for visually impaired users…
As passengers spend more time in vehicles, the demand for non-driving related tasks (NDRTs) increases. In-car Augmented Reality (AR) has the potential to enhance passenger experiences by enabling interaction with the environment through…
Mixed Reality (MR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are increasingly becoming integral parts of our daily lives. Their applications range in fields from healthcare to education to entertainment. MR has opened a new frontier for such fields…
Natural interaction between multiple users within a shared virtual environment (VE) relies on each other's awareness of the current position of the interaction partners. This, however, cannot be warranted when users employ noncontinuous…
This paper presents a wearable assistive device with the shape of a pair of eyeglasses that allows visually impaired people to navigate safely and quickly in unfamiliar environment, as well as perceive the complicated environment to…
Human-robot collaboration frequently requires extensive communication, e.g., using natural language and gestures. Augmented reality (AR) has provided an alternative way of bridging the communication gap between robots and people. However,…
Safety is a fundamental requirement in any human-robot collaboration scenario. To ensure the safety of users for such scenarios, we propose a novel Virtual Barrier system facilitated by an augmented reality interface. Our system provides…
In Augmented Reality (AR) environment, realistic interactions between the virtual and real objects play a crucial role in user experience. Much of recent advances in AR has been largely focused on developing geometry-aware environment, but…
Shopping plays a significant role in shaping consumer identity and social integration. However, for individuals with visual impairments, navigating in supermarkets and identifying products can be an overwhelming and challenging experience.…
Visually impaired individuals often require a guide runner to safely participate in outdoor running. However, maintaining synchronized pacing with verbal cues or tethers can be mentally taxing and physically restrictive. Existing solutions…
Mobile Augmented Reality (MAR) integrates computer-generated virtual objects with physical environments for mobile devices. MAR systems enable users to interact with MAR devices, such as smartphones and head-worn wearables, and performs…
During collaboration in XR (eXtended Reality), users typically share and interact with virtual objects in a common, shared virtual environment. Specifically, collaboration among users in Mixed Reality (MR) requires knowing their position,…
