LoopBot: Representing Continuous Haptics of Grounded Objects in Room-scale VR

In room-scale virtual reality, providing continuous haptic feedback from touching grounded objects, such as walls and handrails, has been challenging due to the user's walking range and the required force. In this study, we propose LoopBot, a novel technique to provide continuous haptic feedback from grounded objects…

InflatableBots: Inflatable Shape-Changing Mobile Robots for Large-Scale Encountered-Type Haptics in VR

We introduce InflatableBots, shape-changing inflatable robots for large-scale encountered-type haptics in VR. Unlike traditional inflatable shape displays, which are immobile and limited in interaction areas, our approach combines mobile robots with fan-based inflatable structures. This enables safe, scalable, and dep…

SwapVid: Integrating Video Viewing and Document Exploration with Direct Manipulation

Videos accompanied by documents---\textit{document-based videos}---enable presenters to share contents beyond videos and audience to use them for detailed content comprehension. However, concurrently exploring multiple channels of information could be taxing. We propose SwapVid, a novel interface for viewing and ex…

BirdViewAR: Surroundings-aware Remote Drone Piloting Using an Augmented Third-person Perspective

We propose BirdViewAR, a surroundings-aware remote drone-operation system that provides significant spatial awareness to pilots through an augmented third-person view (TPV) from an autopiloted secondary follower drone. The follower drone responds to the main drone's motions and directions using our optimization-based…

WaddleWalls: Room-scale Interactive Partitioning System using a Swarm of Robotic Partitions

We propose WaddleWalls, a room-scale interactive partitioning system using a swarm of robotic partitions that allows occupants to interactively reconfigure workspace partitions to satisfy their privacy and interaction needs. The system can automatically arrange the partitions' layout designed by the user on demand. Th…

ModularHMD: A Reconfigurable Mobile Head-Mounted Display Enabling Ad-hoc Peripheral Interactions with the Real World

We propose ModularHMD, a new mobile head-mounted display concept, which adopts a modular mechanism and allows a user to perform ad-hoc peripheral interaction with real-world devices or people during VR experiences. ModularHMD is comprised of a central HMD and three removable module devices installed in the periphery o…

Can Playing with Toy Blocks Reflect Behavior Problems in Children?

Although children’s behavioral and mental problems are generally diagnosed in clinical settings, the prediction and awareness of children’s mental wellness in daily settings are getting increased attention. Toy blocks are both accessible in most children’s daily lives and provide physicality as a unique non-verbal cha…

PinpointFly: An Egocentric Position-control Drone Interface using Mobile AR

Accurate drone positioning is challenging because pilots only have a limited position and direction perception of a flying drone from their perspective. This makes conventional joystick-based speed control inaccurate and more complicated and significantly degrades piloting performance. We propose PinpointFly, an egoce…

TiltChair: Manipulative Posture Guidance by Actively Inclining the Seat of an Office Chair

We propose TiltChair, an actuated office chair that physically manipulates the user's posture by actively inclining the chair's seat to address problems associated with prolonged sitting. The system controls the inclination angle and motion speed with the aim of achieving manipulative but unobtrusive posture guidance.…

ZoomWalls: Dynamic Walls that Simulate Haptic Infrastructure for Room-scale VR World

We focus on the problem of simulating the haptic infrastructure of a virtual environment (i.e. walls, doors). Our approach relies on multiple ZoomWalls—autonomous robotic encounter-type haptic wall-shaped props—that coordinate to provide haptic feedback for room-scale virtual reality. Based on a user’s movement throug…
