Why Do You Know That About Me?— Ethical Implications of Pervasive AR And Face Recognition

Smart, pervasive Augmented Reality (AR) glasses are making their way out of the research labs. Many big tech companies are working on developing these promising next-generation interaction devices, and apps and services around them. When integrated with emerging face recognition technologies (FRT), Pervasive AR glasse…

RedirectedStepper: Exploring Walking-In-Place Locomotion in VR Using a Mini Stepper for Ascents

Walking on inclined surfaces is common in some Virtual Reality (VR) scenarios, for instance, when moving between floors of a building, climbing a tower, or ascending a virtual mountain. Existing approaches enabling realistic walking experiences in such settings typically require the user to use bulky walking-in-place…

Virtual Voyages: Evaluating the Role of Real-Time and Narrated Virtual Tours in Shaping User Experience and Memories

Immersive technologies are capable of transporting people to distant or inaccessible environments that they might not otherwise visit. Practitioners and researchers alike are discovering new ways to replicate and enhance existing tourism experiences using virtual reality, yet few controlled experiments have studied ho…

Visual Noise Cancellation: Exploring Visual Discomfort and Opportunities for Vision Augmentations

Acoustic noise control or cancellation (ANC) is a commonplace component of modern audio headphones. ANC aims to actively mitigate disturbing environmental noise for a quieter and improved listening experience. ANC is digitally controlling frequency and amplitude characteristics of sound. Much less explored is visual n…

A Survey On Measuring Presence in Mixed Reality

Presence is a defining element of virtual reality (VR), but it is also increasingly used when assessing mixed reality (MR) experiences. The increased interest in measuring presence in MR and recent works underpinning the specific nature of presence in MR raise the question of the current state and practice of assessin…

A Design Space for Vision Augmentations and Augmented Human Perception using Digital Eyewear

Head-mounted displays were originally introduced to directly present computer-generated information to the human eye. More recently, the potential to use this kind of technology to support human vision and augment human perception has become actively pursued with applications such as compensating for visual impairment…

Spatial Gaze Markers: Supporting Effective Task Switching in Augmented Reality

Task switching can occur frequently in daily routines with physical activity. In this paper, we introduce Spatial Gaze Markers, an augmented reality tool to support users in immediately returning to the last point of interest after an attention shift. The tool is task-agnostic, using only eye-tracking information to i…

Flicker Augmentations: Rapid Brightness Modulation for Real-World Visual Guidance using Augmented Reality

Providing attention guidance, such as assisting in search tasks, is a prominent use for Augmented Reality. Typically, this is achieved by graphically overlaying geometrical shapes such as arrows. However, providing visual guidance can cause side effects such as attention tunnelling or scene occlusions, and introduce…

Eye-Perspective View Management for Optical See-Through Head-Mounted Displays

Optical see-through (OST) head-mounted displays (HMDs) enable users to experience Augmented Reality (AR) support in the form of helpful real-world annotations. Unfortunately, the blend of the environment with virtual augmentations due to semitransparent OST displays often deteriorates the contrast and legibility of an…

Look over there! Investigating Saliency Modulation for Visual Guidance with Augmented Reality Glasses

Augmented Reality has traditionally been used to display digital overlays in real environments. Many AR applications such as remote collaboration, picking tasks, or navigation require highlighting physical objects for selection or guidance. These highlights use graphical cues such as outlines and arrows. Whilst effect…
