Augmented Reality (AR) systems describe the class of systems that use computers to overlay virtual information on the real world. AR environments allow the development of promising tools in several application domains. In medical training…
We delineate the development of a mind-mapping system designed concurrently for both VR and desktop platforms. Employing an iterative methodology with groups of users, we systematically examined and improved various facets of our system,…
This work developed collaborative bimanual manipulation for reliable and safe human-robot collaboration, which allows remote and local human operators to work interactively for bimanual tasks. We proposed an optimal motion adaptation to…
Natural human interactions for Mixed Reality Applications are overwhelmingly multimodal: humans communicate intent and instructions via a combination of visual, aural and gestural cues. However, supporting low-latency and accurate…
Camera placement is crutial in multi-camera systems such as virtual reality, autonomous driving, and high-quality reconstruction. The camera placement challenge lies in the nonlinear nature of high-dimensional parameters and the…
While autonomous multi-robots can achieve safe and coordinated navigation, they often struggle to adapt to unforeseen conditions and to capture operator-driven objectives in unstructured environments. We present a Virtual Reality (VR)-based…
EXtended Reality (XR) is a rapidly developing paradigm for computer entertainment, and is also increasingly used for simulation, training, data analysis, and other non-entertainment purposes, often employing head-worn XR devices like the…
A remote collaboration setup allows an expert to instruct a remotely located novice user to help them with a task. Advanced solutions exist in the field of remote guidance and telemanipulation, however, we lack a device that combines these…
Effective coordination is the key to successful agile teams. They rely on frequent interactions and mutual adjustment to manage dependencies between activities, which traditionally has been solved by co-locating the team. As the world is…
Mixed Reality (MR) interfaces have been extensively explored for controlling mobile robots, but there is limited research on their application to managing teams of robots. This paper presents HORUS: Holistic Operational Reality for Unified…
Rapid advances in technology gradually realize immersive mixed-reality (MR) telepresence between distant spaces. This paper presents a novel visual guidance system for avatar-mediated telepresence, directing users to optimal placements that…
We present a technique designed for parallelizing large rigid body simulations, capable of exploiting multiple CPU cores within a computer and across a network. Our approach can be applied to simulate both unilateral and bilateral…
There is invariably a trade-off between safety and efficiency for collaborative robots (cobots) in human-robot collaborations. Robots that interact minimally with humans can work with high speed and accuracy but cannot adapt to new tasks or…
As software systems grow, environments that not only facilitate program comprehension through software visualization but also enable collaborative exploration of software systems become increasingly important. Most approaches to software…
Pair programming (PP) has been a widespread practice for decades and is known for facilitating knowledge exchange and improving the quality of software. Many agilists advocated the importance of collocation, face-to-face interaction, and…
