One key challenge in Augmented Reality is the placement of virtual content in natural locations. Most existing automated techniques can only work with a closed-vocabulary, fixed set of objects. In this paper, we introduce and evaluate…
A thorough comprehension of image content demands a complex grasp of the interactions that may occur in the natural world. One of the key issues is to describe the visual relationships between objects. When dealing with real world data,…
We describe a method for performing active localization of objects in instances of visual situations. A visual situation is an abstract concept---e.g., "a boxing match", "a birthday party", "walking the dog", "waiting for a bus"---whose…
Digital interaction with everyday objects has become popular since the proliferation of camera-based systems that detect and augment objects "just-in-time". Common systems use a vision-based approach to detect objects and display their…
Augmented Reality is a promising technique for human-machine interaction. Especially in robotics, which always considers systems in their environment, it is highly beneficial to display visualizations and receive user input directly in…
In the rapidly evolving landscape of manufacturing and material forming, innovative strategies are imperative for maintaining a competitive edge. Augmented Reality (AR) has emerged as a groundbreaking technology, offering new dimensions in…
Learning is an active process that is deeply tied to physical and social contexts. Yet schools traditionally place learners in a passive role and focus on decontextualizing knowledge. Situating learning in more authentic tasks and contexts…
Location-based services gained much popularity through providing users with helpful information with respect to their current location. The search and recommendation of nearby locations or places, and the navigation to a specific location…
Despite being used in many engineering and scientific areas such as physics and mathematics and often taught in high school, graphical vector addition turns out to be a topic prone to misconceptions in understanding even at university-level…
Mixed Reality (MR) technologies are increasingly being used to enrich exhibitions and public spaces by blending digital content with the physical environment in real time. However, little is known about curatorial strategies for embedding…
Augmented Reality, or simply AR, is the incorporation of information in digital format that includes live footage of a certain user's real-time environment. Also now, various universities are using Augmented Reality. Applying the technology…
Seamless integration of virtual and physical worlds in augmented reality benefits from the system semantically "understanding" the physical environment. AR research has long focused on the potential of context awareness, demonstrating novel…
Augmented Reality (AR) solutions are providing tools that could improve applications in the medical and industrial fields. Augmentation can provide additional information in training, visualization, and work scenarios, to increase…
Multiple-view visualization (MV) has been heavily used in visual analysis tools for sensemaking of data in various domains (e.g., bioinformatics, cybersecurity and text analytics). One common task of visual analysis with multiple views is…
We aim for mobile robots to function in a variety of common human environments. Such robots need to be able to reason about the locations of previously unseen target objects. Landmark objects can help this reasoning by narrowing down the…
Collaboration using mixed reality technology is an active area of research, where significant research is done to virtually bridge physical distances. There exist a diverse set of platforms and devices that can be used for a mixed-reality…
This chapter gives an overview of interaction techniques for mixed reality including augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR). Various modalities for input and output are discussed. Specifically, techniques for tangible and surface-based…
We present a novel approach for relocalization or place recognition, a fundamental problem to be solved in many robotics, automation, and AR applications. Rather than relying on often unstable appearance information, we consider a situation…
As a result of an increasingly automatized and digitized industry, processes are becoming more complex. Augmented Reality has shown considerable potential in assisting workers with complex tasks by enhancing user understanding and…
As the intermediate-level representations bridging the two levels, structured representations of visual scenes, such as visual relationships between pairwise objects, have been shown to not only benefit compositional models in learning to…
