Trail runners encounter risks of falling, rely on more muscle groups to balance, and require awareness and attention to foot placement. Current navigational aids take their eyes away from the trail, forcing them to stop to read a map, or occupy the auditory channel, which could otherwise act as an important mode of hazard detection outside the field of view. We propose HapticPole, a prototype that is designed to transmit information through shape change and skindrag. The 3D printed prototype performs a set of tactile interaction patterns for navigational instructions as will be defined in an elicitation study.","PeriodicalId":115371,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Augmented Humans International Conference 2023","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130392772","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}

Because previous studies have shown that learning in various environmental contexts can improve memory performance, we posit that learning from various lecturers virtually can have a similar effect. To examine this concept, we divided a 90-minute lecture into four sessions and conducted a between-participant experiment to compare the four-avatar condition, where the lecturer taught using avatars with different appearances for each session, to the one-avatar condition, where the lecturer used a single avatar through all sessions. The results showed that the comprehension testing scores after the lecture were significantly higher for the four-avatar condition than for the one-avatar condition. This result suggests that multiple avatars provide a promising education method beyond traditional in-person/online lectures.","PeriodicalId":115371,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Augmented Humans International Conference 2023","volume":"1299 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127438577","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}

In our experiment, 15 human-participants were asked to use manual gesture-based navigation in a VR scene that allowed them to change the virtual-to-real scale of the virtual world and perform a simple pick-and-place task in supervised robot control mode. We have compared the virtual world scale of participants at the beginning of a 3-day experiment when they were considered to be novice teleoperators and at the end of it when they were considered to be expert teleoperators. Expert teleoperators as a group used a smaller virtual world scale that allowed them to perform the experimental task faster than novices, although this behaviour was not exhibited by every teleoperator individually. Our study also demonstrated that participants’ prior video gaming experience affects the virtual world scale as participants with video gaming experience used smaller virtual world scales and performed the experimental task faster.","PeriodicalId":115371,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Augmented Humans International Conference 2023","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121132146","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}
