Immersive technologies, including augmented and virtual reality (AR & VR) devices, have enhanced digital communication along with a considerable increase in digital threats. Thus, authentication becomes critical in AR & VR technology,…
For audio in augmented reality (AR), knowledge of the users' real acoustic environment is crucial for rendering virtual sounds that seamlessly blend into the environment. As acoustic measurements are usually not feasible in practical AR…
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.…
The pleasure that often comes with eating can be further enhanced with intelligent technology, as the field of human-food interaction suggests. However, knowledge on how to design such pleasure-supporting eating systems is limited. To begin…
We introduce Memento, a conversational AR assistant that permanently captures and memorizes user's verbal queries alongside their spatiotemporal and activity contexts. By storing these "memories," Memento discovers connections between…
We investigate methods for placing labels in AR environments that have visually cluttered scenes. As the number of items increases in a scene within the user' FOV, it is challenging to effectively place labels based on existing label…
While visual search for targets within a complex scene might benefit from using augmented-reality (AR) head-mounted display (HMD) technologies helping to efficiently direct human attention, imperfectly reliable automation support could…
Social robots are required not only to understand human intentions but also to effectively communicate their intentions or own internal states to users. This study explores the use of sonification to provide explicit auditory feedback,…
Signal-dependent beamformers are advantageous over signal-independent beamformers when the acoustic scenario - be it real-world or simulated - is straightforward in terms of the number of sound sources, the ambient sound field and their…
Ambiguity and noise in natural language instructions create a significant barrier towards adopting autonomous systems into safety critical workflows involving humans and machines. In this paper, we propose to build on recent advances in…
Interactive reinforcement learning, where humans actively assist during an agent's learning process, has the promise to alleviate the sample complexity challenges of practical algorithms. However, the inner workings and state of the robot…

Discriminatively localizing sounding objects in cocktail-party, i.e., mixed sound scenes, is commonplace for humans, but still challenging for machines. In this paper, we propose a two-stage learning framework to perform self-supervised…
Augmented reality (AR) games, particularly those designed for head-mounted displays, have grown increasingly prevalent. However, most existing systems depend on pre-scanned, static environments and rely heavily on continuous tracking or…
The safety and accessibility of our homes is critical to quality of life and evolves as we age, become ill, host guests, or experience life events such as having children. Researchers and health professionals have created assessment…
Immersive audio-visual perception relies on the spatial integration of both auditory and visual information which are heterogeneous sensing modalities with different fields of reception and spatial resolution. This study investigates the…
Online shopping gives customers boundless options to choose from, backed by extensive product details and customer reviews, all from the comfort of home; yet, no amount of detailed, online information can outweigh the instant gratification…
There exists limited theoretical guidance on integrating visualization and sonification. In this paper, we address this gap by investigating audiovisual semiotics for uncertainty representation: joining uncertainty visualization and…
We introduce SoundSpaces 2.0, a platform for on-the-fly geometry-based audio rendering for 3D environments. Given a 3D mesh of a real-world environment, SoundSpaces can generate highly realistic acoustics for arbitrary sounds captured from…
Augmented Reality (AR) is increasingly utilized to guide users through complex spatial tasks in domains such as manufacturing, non-destructive testing, and surgery. These applications often require strict compliance with 5D+ trajectories…
