Current research in Mixed Reality (MR) presents a wide range of novel use cases for blending virtual elements with the real world. This yet-to-be-ubiquitous technology challenges how users currently work and interact with digital content.…
Despite growing interest in virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) for mental well-being, prior work using immersive interventions to teach mental health skills has largely focused on calming or abstract settings. As a result, little is…
What is after presence? Spatial presence, the sense of "being there", is becoming less of a primary objective and more of a baseline expectation of virtual reality. More than six decades after its invention, VR is shifting from a technical…
Extended reality (XR) technology has the incredible potential to revolutionize mental health treatment and support, bringing a whole new dimension to the field. Through the use of immersive virtual and augmented reality experiences,…
As Extended Reality (XR) systems increasingly map and understand the physical world, interacting with these blended representations remains challenging. The current push for "natural" inputs has its trade-offs: touch is limited by human…
The article presents some current observations (as of April 10, 2024) on the integration of AI-generated images within processes of media convergence. It draws on two different concepts of intermediality. Primary intermediality concepts are…
Virtual reality enables users to experience real-life situations in immersive environments. Interaction methods significantly shape user experience, particularly in high fidelity simulations mimicking real world tasks. This study evaluates…
We investigate hybrid user interfaces (HUIs), aiming to establish a cohesive understanding and adopt consistent terminology for this nascent research area. HUIs combine heterogeneous devices in complementary roles, leveraging the distinct…
