3D data from high-resolution volumetric imaging is a central resource for diagnosis and treatment in modern medicine. While the fast development of AI enhances imaging and analysis, commonly used visualization methods lag far behind. Recent…
Identification within media, whether with real or fictional characters, significantly impacts users, shaping their behavior and enriching their social and emotional experiences. Immersive media, like video games, utilize virtual entities…
The Metaverse refers to a virtual-physical blended space in which multiple users can concurrently interact with a unified computer-generated environment and other users, which can be regarded as the next significant milestone of the current…
Virtual Reality (VR) technologies offer immersive user experiences across various domains, but present unique testing challenges compared to traditional software. Existing VR testing approaches enable scene navigation and interaction…
This paper proposes a VR supermarket with an intelligent recommendation, which consists of three parts. The VR supermarket, the recommendation system, and the database. The VR supermarket provides a 360-degree virtual environment for users…
Virtual reality (VR) is increasingly used as a platform for social interaction, including as a means for older adults to maintain engagement. However, there has been limited research to examine the features of social VR that are most…
Virtual reality has been effectively used for eliciting emotions, yet most research focuses on the intensity of affective responses rather than on how interaction influences those experiences. To address this gap, we advance a validated VR…
Virtual Reality (VR) becomes accessible to mimic a "real-like" world now. People who have a VR experience usually can be impressed by the immersive feeling, they might consider themselves are actually existed in the VR space.…
This paper introduces a new form of real-time affective interface that engages the user in a process of conceptualisation of their emotional state. Inspired by Barrett's Theory of Constructed Emotion, `Mirror Ritual' aims to expand upon the…
In an era of increasing interaction with artificial intelligence (AI), users face evolving privacy decisions shaped by complex, uncertain factors. This paper introduces Multiverse Privacy Theory, a novel framework in which each privacy…
Co-viewing videos with family and friends remotely has become prevalent with the support of communication channels such as text messaging or real-time voice chat. However, current co-viewing platforms often lack visible embodied cues, such…
We present the concept of X-Vision, an enhanced Augmented Reality (AR)-based visualization tool, with the real-time sensing capability in a tagged environment. We envision that this type of a tool will enhance the user-environment…
In most VR experiences, the visual sense dominates other modes of sensory input, encouraging non-visual senses to respond as if the visual were real. The simulated visual world thus becomes a sort of felt actuality, where the 'actual'…
A central challenge of social computing research is to enable people to communicate expressively with each other remotely. Augmented reality has great promise for expressive communication since it enables communication beyond texts and…
This paper presents a wearable electrotactile feedback system to enhance contact information for mid-air interactions with virtual objects. In particular, we propose the use of electrotactile feedback to render the interpenetration distance…
We introduce the concept of a meta-object, a next-generation virtual object that inherits the form, properties, and functions of its real-world counterpart, enabling seamless synchronization, interaction, and sharing between the physical…
All learning algorithms for recommendations face inevitable and critical trade-off between exploiting partial knowledge of a user's preferences for short-term satisfaction and exploring additional user preferences for long-term coverage.…
This study will investigate the user experience while interacting with highly photorealistic virtual job interviewer avatars in Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and on a 2D screen. Having a precise speech recognition mechanism,…
MolecularWebXR is our new website for education, science communication and scientific peer discussion in chemistry and biology built on WebXR. It democratizes multi-user, inclusive virtual reality (VR) experiences that are deeply immersive…
This study examines the modulatory effect of contextual hedonic olfactory stimuli on the visual processing of neutral faces using event-related potentials (ERPs) and effective connectivity analysis. The aim is to investigate how odors'…
