Generative models are widely employed to enhance the photorealism of visual synthetic data for training computer vision algorithms. However, they often introduce visual artifacts that degrade the accuracy of these algorithms and require…
Human emotions are essentially molded by lived experiences, from which we construct personalised meaning. The engagement in such meaning-making process has been practiced as an intervention in various psychotherapies to promote wellness.…
Multi-modal AI systems will likely become a ubiquitous presence in our everyday lives. A promising approach to making these systems more interactive is to embody them as agents within physical and virtual environments. At present, systems…
Bridging the physical and digital world through interaction remains a core challenge in augmented reality (AR). Existing systems target single objects, limiting support for planning, comparison, and assembly tasks that depend on…
Human presence has traditionally been constrained by the limits of physical embodiment, allowing individuals to exist in only one place at a time. This article introduces Multi-Existence Identity (MEI)- a socio-technical framework that…
The quality of a simulator equipped with a haptic interface is given by the dynamical properties of its components: haptic interface, simulator and control system. Some application areas of such kind of simulator like musical synthesis,…
Recent approaches to jointly reconstruct 3D humans and objects from a single RGB image represent 3D shapes with template-based or coarse models, which fail to capture details of loose clothing on human bodies. In this paper, we introduce a…
We present a physics-based framework to simulate porous, deformable materials and interactive tools with haptic feedback that can reshape it. In order to allow the material to be moulded non-homogeneously, we propose an algorithm to change…
This paper presents a real-time generative drawing system that interprets and integrates both formal intent - the structural, compositional, and stylistic attributes of a sketch - and contextual intent - the semantic and thematic meaning…
Mid-air haptic interfaces employ focused ultrasound waves to generate touchless haptic sensations on the skin. Prior studies have demonstrated the potential positive impact of mid-air haptic feedback on virtual experiences, enhancing…
The Metaverse represents a transformative shift beyond traditional mobile Internet, creating an immersive, persistent digital ecosystem where users can interact, socialize, and work within 3D virtual environments. Powered by large models…
High throughput experimentation tools, machine learning (ML) methods, and open material databases are radically changing the way new materials are discovered. From the experimentally driven approach in the past, we are moving quickly…
We present Adaptic, a novel "hybrid" active/passive haptic device that can change shape to act as a proxy for a range of virtual objects in VR. We use Adaptic with haptic retargeting to redirect the user's hand to provide haptic feedback…
The rise of Mixed Reality (MR) stimulates new interactive techniques that seamlessly blend the virtual and physical environments. Just as virtual content could be overlayed onto the physical world for providing adaptive user interfaces [5,…
Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), Mixed Reality (MR), digital twin, Metaverse and other related digital technologies have attracted much attention in recent years. These new emerging technologies are changing the world…
Several technological solutions supported the creation of interfaces for Augmented Reality (AR) multi-user collaboration in the last years. However, these technologies require the use of wearable devices. We present CobotAR - a new AR…
As several industries are moving towards modeling massive 3D virtual worlds, the need for content creation tools that can scale in terms of the quantity, quality, and diversity of 3D content is becoming evident. In our work, we aim to train…
We present GASPACHO, a method for generating photorealistic, controllable renderings of human-object interactions from multi-view RGB video. Unlike prior work that reconstructs only the human and treats objects as background, GASPACHO…
The rapid development of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools such as ChatGPT has intensified interest in their role in higher education, particularly in how students perceive and use them and how these perceptions may relate to…
During the last years, the emerging field of Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR-VR) has seen tremendous growth. An interface that has also become very popular for the AR systems is the tangible interface or passive-haptic interface.…
