By using the Google ARCore position tracking, we can integrate the keyframes captured with one external depth sensor attached to the mobile phone as one single 3D point-cloud data set to present the local physical environment into the VR world. This captured local scene is then wirelessly streamed to the remote side for the expert to view while wearing a mobile VR headset (HTC VIVE Focus). In this case, the remote expert can immerse himself/herself in the VR scene and provide guidance just as sharing the same work environment with the local worker. In addition, the remote guidance is also streamed back to the local side as an AR cue overlaid on top of the local video see-through display. Our proposed mobile remote collaboration system supports a pair of participants performing as one remote expert guiding one local worker on some physical tasks in a more natural and efficient way in a large scale work space from a distance by simulating the face-to-face co-work experience using the Mixed-Reality technique.","PeriodicalId":432889,"journal":{"name":"SIGGRAPH Asia 2018 Virtual & Augmented Reality","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131172500","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 fewer of research allow users to perceive the odor from the VE simultaneously. Based on the five senses, olfaction is one of the human sense that can perceive chemical information from the environment, which is also important for recreating the VE. In the past, some research groups have shown the techniques of olfactory display. However, to create the olfactory feedback for immersive VR when the user moving around in the tracking area, where a moveable display or a lightweight portable device is required, due to the user's nose is the only human receptor for perceiving the scent. We present Lotus, a steerable mist-based olfactory display with an airflow guiding module for simulating environments with olfaction.

FiveStar VR consists of somatosensory displays in addition to the conventional audiovisual VR setup. In the FiveStar VR, the body parts of the participant are forced to move, which is synchronized with those of an avatar in the VR space, resulting in inducing a strong perception of presence at the past walk behavior of someone else. By taking advantage of the cyclic nature of walking, the arms, the lower limbs, and the body are synchronously moved to simulate the sensation of real walking. These motion profiles do not completely follow the measured data of real walking but each gain of magnitude of the modalities is adjusted on the basis of the subjective intensity of motion impression, mainly due to the lack of the sensory suppression from the motor command of the participant. The demonstration of our exhibition booth presents a virtual trip to a tourist site, Toronto and Niagara Falls, Canada. A short-time experience of walking around the area is relived/shared by the attendee.","PeriodicalId":432889,"journal":{"name":"SIGGRAPH Asia 2018 Virtual & Augmented Reality","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115347627","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}
