Authoring site-specific outdoor augmented reality (AR) experiences requires a nuanced understanding of real-world context to create immersive and relevant content. Existing ex-situ authoring tools typically rely on static 3D models to…
As a fundamental aspect of human life, two-person interactions contain meaningful information about people's activities, relationships, and social settings. Human action recognition serves as the foundation for many smart applications, with…
When living apart, grandparents and grandchildren often use audio-visual communication approaches to stay connected. However, these approaches seldom provide sufficient companionship and intimacy due to a lack of co-presence and spatial…
Virtual Reality (VR) applications often require users to perform actions with two hands when performing tasks and interacting with objects in virtual environments. Although bimanual interactions in VR can resemble real-world interactions --…
Language barriers in virtual meetings remain a persistent challenge to global collaboration. Real-time translation offers promise, yet current integrations often neglect perceptual cues. This study investigates how spatial audio rendering…
"Cultural Windows" is a research initiative designed to enrich cross-cultural understanding through immersive extended reality (XR) experiences. This project proposes a workflow for deploying AR and VR platforms, allowing users to explore…
The emergence of virtual companions is transforming the evolution of intelligent systems that effortlessly cater to the unique requirements of users. These advanced systems not only take into account the user present capabilities,…
Virtual Reality (VR) offers a unique collaborative experience, with parallel views playing a pivotal role in Collaborative Virtual Environments by supporting the transfer and delivery of items. Sharing and manipulating partners' views…
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…
Virtual Reality systems provide many opportunities for scientific research and consumer enjoyment; however, they are more demanding than traditional desktop applications and require a wired connection to desktops in order to enjoy maximum…
Today's video-conferencing tools support a rich range of professional and social activities, but their generic meeting environments cannot be dynamically adapted to align with distributed collaborators' needs. To enable end-user…
eXtended reality (XR) technologies such as virtual reality and 360{\deg} stereoscopic streaming enable the concept of the Metaverse, an immersive virtual space for collaboration and interaction. To ensure high fidelity display of immersive…
Data-driven stories seek to inform and persuade audiences through the use of data visualisations and engaging narratives. These stories have now been highly optimised to be viewed on desktop and mobile computers. In contrast, while…
Metaverse is an immersive shared space that remote users can access through virtual and augmented reality interfaces, enabling their avatars to interact with each other and the surrounding. Although digital objects can be manipulated,…
Classically, rasterization techniques are performed for real-time rendering to meet the constraint of interactive frame rates. However, such techniques do not produce realistic results as compared to ray tracing approaches. Hence, hybrid…
Mobile Augmented Reality (AR) applications leverage various sensors to provide immersive user experiences. However, their reliance on diverse data sources introduces significant privacy challenges. This paper investigates user perceptions…
Surgical planning for congenital heart disease traditionally relies on collaborative group examinations of a patient's 3D-printed heart model, a process that lacks flexibility and accessibility. While mobile augmented reality (AR) offers a…
Establishing common ground between an intelligent robot and a human requires communication of the robot's intention, behavior, and knowledge to the human to build trust and assure safety in a shared environment. This paper introduces SENSAR…
Modern collaborative Mixed Reality (MR) systems continue to break the boundaries of conventional co-located and remote collaboration and communication. They merge physical and virtual worlds and enable natural interaction, opening up a…
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,…
