    • Dynamic View Expansion for Improving Visual Search in Video See-through AR 

      Yano, Yuki; Orlosky, Jason; Kiyokawa, Kiyoshi; Takemura, Haruo (The Eurographics Association, 2016)
      The extension or expansion of human vision is often accomplished with video see-through head mounted displays (HMDs) because of their clarity and ability to modulate background information. However, little is known about ...

    • Global Landmarks Do Not Necessarily Improve Spatial Performance in Addition to Bodily Self-Movement Cues when Learning a Large-Scale Virtual Environment 

      Meilinger, Tobias; Schulte-Pelkum, Jörg; Frankenstein, Julia; Berger, Daniel; Bülthoff, Heinrich H. (The Eurographics Association, 2015)
      Comparing spatial performance in different virtual reality setups can indicate which cues are relevant for a realistic virtual experience. Bodily self-movement cues and global orientation information were shown to increase ...

    • Indoor Tracking for Large Area Industrial Mixed Reality 

      Scheer, Fabian; Müller, Stefan (The Eurographics Association, 2012)
      For mixed reality (MR) applications the tracking of a video camera in a rapidly changing large environment with several hundred square meters still represents a challenging task. In contrast to an installation in a laboratory, ...

    • Influence of Path Complexity on Spatial Overlap Perception in Virtual Environments 

      Vasylevska, Khrystyna; Kaufmann, Hannes (The Eurographics Association, 2015)
      Real walking in large virtual indoor environments within a limited real world workspace requires effective spatial compression methods. These methods should be unnoticed by the user. Scene manipulation that creates overlapping ...

    • Interpretation of Tactile Sensation using an Anthropomorphic Finger Motion Interface to Operate a Virtual Avatar 

      Ujitoko, Yusuke; Hirota, Koichi (The Eurographics Association, 2014)
      The objective of the system presented in this paper is to give users tactile feedback while walking in a virtual world through an anthropomorphic finger motion interface. We determined that the synchrony between the first ...

    • Investigation of Dynamic View Expansion for Head-Mounted Displays with Head Tracking in Virtual Environments 

      Yano, Yuki; Kiyokawa, Kiyoshi; Sherstyuk, Andrei; Mashita, T.; Takemura, H. (The Eurographics Association, 2014)
      Head mounted displays (HMD) are widely used for visual immersion in virtual reality (VR) systems. It is acknowledged that the narrow field of view (FOV) for most HMD models is the leading cause of insufficient quality of ...

    • Modifying an Identified Size of Objects Handled with Two Fingers Using Pseudo-Haptic Effects 

      Ban, Yuki; Narumi, Takuji; Tanikawa, Tomohiro; Hirose, Michitaka (The Eurographics Association, 2012)
      In our research, we aim to construct a visuo-haptic system that employs pseudo-haptic effects to provide users with the sensation of touching virtual objects of varying shapes. Thus far, we have proved that it can be ...
