Although common input devices such as controllers, gamepads, and trackpads have been integrated into mainstream VR systems for user-content interaction, they cannot provide users with realistic haptic feedback. Some prior work tracks and maps the physical objects into the virtual space to allow users to interact with these objects directly, which improves users’ sense of reality in the virtual environment. However, most of them use additional hardware sensors, which inevitably increases the cost. In this research, a lightweight approach is proposed to synchronize the positions and motions between physical and digital objects without any extra costs. We use the real-time captured video data from in-built cameras on a VR headset and employ feature points based algorithms to generate projections of the physical objects in the virtual world. Our approach does not rely on additional sensors but just uses components available in a VR headset. Our approach allows users to interact with target objects with their hands directly without the need for specially designed trackers, markers, and other hardware devices as used in previous work. With our approach, users can get more realistic operational feedback when interacting with corresponding virtual objects.","PeriodicalId":111802,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 18th ACM SIGGRAPH International Conference on Virtual-Reality Continuum and its Applications in Industry","volume":"236 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122712247","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Making using of the remaining of the visual field, the state-of-the-art studies proposed Overlaid Overview Window (OOW) and Edge Indicator (EI) on the basis of Augmented-Reality (AR) glasses for compensation. However, experiments conducted in these studies investigate user performance with tasks involving events in lost field or remaining field singly. On the other hand, both studies recruited normal individuals for mock experiment, while their way to simulate HH, which requiring the participants to fix their view angles, were not practical to real HH patients. In this study, we conduct a contextual information experiment to investigate the user performance involving in the task requiring the information across both the visible and invisible sides of HH, with the compensation of OOW and Flicker-based EI (FEI). At the same time, we also recruit volunteers with normal vision for mock experiment, while the participants in our study are allowed to move their gaze freely, because we simulate the invisible field of HH on AR glasses with eye tracking. The experiment results showed that OOW is better for the task that related to move something from the remaining FoV to the lost FoV, while FEI is better for moving something from the lost FoV to the remaining FoV.","PeriodicalId":111802,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 18th ACM SIGGRAPH International Conference on Virtual-Reality Continuum and its Applications in Industry","volume":"552 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132495942","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous 3D shape reconstruction studies primarily focused on the facial region, but ignored the scalp region. Moreover, as critical foundations in 3D head completion, powerful 3D head morphable models, however, are scarce. In this paper, we construct 3D comprehensive morphable models (3DCMM) of human faces and scalps, and develop a novel 3DCMM-based stepwise 3D full-head creation pipeline: reconstructing face regions firstly, and then completing scalp regions. Firstly, large-scale 3D heads from 2,528 identities were parameterized to construct powerful 3DCMM as our foundations. Then, a 3DCMM-based supervised converting method was presented to predict an accurate scalp region from a facial region and produce full-head geometry. Extensive experiments and comparisons demonstrated that our 3DCMM possesses better quality and descriptive power. Benefiting from this, our model-based 3D head completion method has higher accuracy than model-based fitting method.","PeriodicalId":111802,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 18th ACM SIGGRAPH International Conference on Virtual-Reality Continuum and its Applications in Industry","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115438343","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A challenging aspect of the problem is to find an appropriate mapping from tracked vertical foot motion to natural cyclical movements of real walking. In this work, we present a kinematic approach based on animation rigging to generating real-time leg animation. Our method works by tracking vertical in-place foot movements of a user with a Kinect v2 sensor and mapping tracked foot height to inverse kinematics (IK) targets. These IK targets were aligned with an avatar's feet to guide the virtual feet to perform cyclic walking motions. We conducted a user study to evaluate our approach. Results showed that the proposed method produced compelling forward-backward leg animation during walking. We show that the proposed technique can be easily integrated into existing WIP techniques.","PeriodicalId":111802,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 18th ACM SIGGRAPH International Conference on Virtual-Reality Continuum and its Applications in Industry","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132799181","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Advances in research and novel applications in this field have revolutionized much of our leisure activities, making them more appealing and fun. Just as significantly these advances provide the foundation for more effective interactivity in work- and learning-related activities. To advance research in the VRC field, the VRCAI conference seeks to provide a forum for scientists, researchers, developers, users and industry players in the international VRC community to come together to share experiences, exchange ideas and spur one another in the knowledge of this fast-growing field. This year, VRCAI 2008 focuses on the following themes: Fundamentals, Systems, Interactions and Industry and Applications. A new focus area on Interactions had been introduced. We see this as an area of growing importance as more and more user applications are developed for VRC as VRC progresses from research into the industry. Thus, how we interact with the systems in such applications will determine the success of VRC technology adoption by users. \u0000 \u0000Since its beginnings as the 1st International Workshop on Virtual Reality and Visualization in Scientific Computing held in Hangzhou, China, in 1995, VRCAI had grown and matured into a reputable biennial conference.
