In this study, utilizing Zen as a context, we designed an immersive mixed reality (MR) experience system, Flowing with Zen, based on formative study and cultural symbol analysis. The MR system integrates multi-modal interfaces, motion capture, environmental sensing, and generative computing, enabling users to engage with four scenarios through meditation, life appreciation, and experiential Zen practice, providing the embodied experience of Zen. Comparative user evaluation (N = 51) revealed that the MR system has significant advantages in eliciting engagement and interest from users, enhancing their aesthetic appreciation and cultural understanding, and increasing the accessibility of Zen.

Such delays might lead to unnatural or frustrating interactions. In this paper, we investigate filler types to mitigate these effects and lead to a more positive experience and perception of the agent. In a within-subject study, we asked 24 participants to communicate with ECAs in virtual reality, comparing four strategies displayed during the delays: a multimodal behavioral filler consisting of conversational and gestural fillers, a base condition with only idle motions, and two symbolic indicators with progress bars, one embedded as a badge on the agent, the other one external and visualized as a thinking bubble. Our results indicate that the behavioral filler improved perceived response time, three subscales of presence, humanlikeness, and naturalness. Participants looked away from the face more often when symbolic indicators were displayed, but the visualizations did not lead to a more positive impression of the agent or to increased presence. The majority of participants preferred the behavioral fillers, only 12.5% and 4.2% favored the symbolic embedded and external conditions, respectively.","PeriodicalId":94035,"journal":{"name":"IEEE transactions on visualization and computer graphics","volume":"PP ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.5,"publicationDate":"2025-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145226298","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}

As a result, gaze input is now leveraged for fundamental interaction tasks such as selection, manipulation, crossing, and steering. Although several studies have modeled user steering performance across various path characteristics and input methods, our understanding of gaze-based steering in VR remains limited. This gap persists because the unique qualities of eye movements-involving rapid, continuous motions-and the variability in eye-tracking make findings from other input modalities nontransferable to a gaze-based context, underscoring the need for a dedicated investigation into gaze-based steering behaviors and performance. To bridge this gap, we present two user studies to explore and model gaze-based steering. In the first one, user behavior data are collected across various path characteristics and eye-tracking conditions. Based on this data, we propose four refined models that extend the classic Steering Law to predict users' movement time in gaze-based steering tasks, explicitly incorporating the impact of tracking quality. The best-performing model achieves an adjusted R2 of 0.956, corresponding to a 16% improvement in movement time prediction. This model also yields a substantial reduction in AIC (from 1550 to 1132) and BIC (from 1555 to 1142), highlighting improved model quality and better balance between goodness of fit and model complexity. Finally, data from a second study with varied settings, such as a different eye-tracking sampling rate, illustrate the strong robustness and predictability of our models. Finally, we present scenarios and applications that demonstrate how our models can be used to design enhanced gaze-based interactions in VR systems.","PeriodicalId":94035,"journal":{"name":"IEEE transactions on visualization and computer graphics","volume":"PP ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.5,"publicationDate":"2025-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145226458","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}

Thus, we present MetaRoundWorm, an immersive virtual reality (VR) escape room game designed to enhance the understanding of parasitic infections and host immune responses through interactive, gamified learning. The application simulates the lifecycle of Ascaris lumbricoides and corresponding immunological mechanisms across anatomically accurate environments within the human body. Integrating serious game mechanics with embodied learning principles, MetaRoundWorm offers players a task-driven experience combining exploration, puzzle-solving, and immune system simulation. To evaluate the educational efficacy and user engagement, we conducted a controlled study comparing MetaRoundWorm against a traditional approach, i.e., interactive slides. Results indicate that MetaRoundWorm significantly improves immediate learning outcomes, cognitive engagement, and emotional experience, while maintaining knowledge retention over time. Our findings suggest that immersive VR gamification holds promise as an effective pedagogical tool for communicating complex biomedical concepts and advancing digital health education.","PeriodicalId":94035,"journal":{"name":"IEEE transactions on visualization and computer graphics","volume":"PP ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.5,"publicationDate":"2025-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145226479","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}

While numerous studies have explored the effects of several virtual characters' properties, the impacts of the virtual character's personality and age on human perceptions and experiences have yet to be thoroughly investigated. To address this gap, we conducted a within-group study (N = 28) following a 2 (personality: egoism vs. altruism) × 2 (age: child vs. adult) design to explore how the personality and age factors influence human perception and experience during interactions with virtual characters. In each condition of our study, our participants co-solved a jigsaw puzzle with a virtual character that embodied combinations of personality and age. After each condition, participants completed a survey. We also asked them to provide written feedback at the end of the study. Our statistical analyses revealed that the virtual character's personality and age significantly influenced participants' perceptions and experiences. The personality factor affected perceptions of altruism, anthropomorphism, likability, safety, and all aspects of user experience, including perceived collaboration, rapport, emotional reactivity, and the desire for future interaction. Additionally, the virtual character's age affected our participants' ratings of the uncanny valley and likability. We also identified an interaction effect between personality and age factors on the virtual character's anthropomorphism. Based on our findings, we offered guidelines and insights for researchers aiming to design collaborative experiences with virtual characters of different personalities and ages.","PeriodicalId":94035,"journal":{"name":"IEEE transactions on visualization and computer graphics","volume":"PP ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.5,"publicationDate":"2025-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145226482","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}

Existing approaches often rely on point cloud or NeRF-based techniques to deliver realistic representations of teachers and classrooms to remote students. However, achieving low latency is non-trivial, and maintaining high-fidelity rendering under such constraints poses an even greater challenge. This paper introduces LiteAT, a data-lightweight and user-adaptive VR telepresence system, to enable real-time, immersive learning experiences. LiteAT employs a Gaussian Splatting-based reconstruction pipeline that integrates an SMPL-X-driven dynamic human model with a static classroom, supporting lightweight data transmission and high-quality rendering. To enable efficient and personalized exploration in the virtual classroom, we propose a user-adaptive viewpoint recommendation framework that dynamically suggests high-quality viewpoints tailored to user preferences. Candidate viewpoints are evaluated based on multiple visual quality factors and are continuously optimized based on recent user behavior and scene dynamics. Quantitative experiments and user studies validate the effectiveness of LiteAT across multiple evaluation metrics. LiteAT establishes a versatile and scalable foundation for immersive telepresence, potentially supporting real-time scenarios such as procedural teaching, multimodal instruction, and collaborative learning.","PeriodicalId":94035,"journal":{"name":"IEEE transactions on visualization and computer graphics","volume":"PP ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.5,"publicationDate":"2025-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145226497","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}

Eye-tracking sensors play a key role in these advancements. At the same time, eye-tracking data is not well understood by users and can reveal sensitive information. Our work contributes visualizations based on visceral notice to increase privacy awareness of eye-tracking data in AR. We also evaluated user perceptions towards privacy noise mechanisms applied to gaze data visualized through these visceral interfaces. While privacy mechanisms have been evaluated against privacy attacks, we are the first to evaluate them subjectively and understand their influence on data-sharing attitudes. Despite our participants being highly concerned with eye-tracking privacy risks, we found 47% of our participants still felt comfortable sharing raw data. When applying privacy noise, 70% to 76% felt comfortable sharing their gaze data for the Weighted Smoothing and Gaussian Noise privacy mechanisms, respectively. This implies that participants are still willing to share raw gaze data even though overall data-sharing sentiments decreased after experiencing the visceral interfaces and privacy mechanisms. Our work implies that increased access and understanding of privacy mechanisms are critical for gaze-based AR applications; further research is needed to develop visualizations and experiences that relay additional information about how raw gaze data can be used for sensitive inferences, such as age, gender, and ethnicity. We intend to open-source our codebase to provide AR developers and platforms with the ability to better inform users about privacy concerns and provide access to privacy mechanisms.

For this, we implemented video-see-through (VST) AR-based virtual building blocks and hot wire tasks with real one-to-one counterparts that require participants to use gross and fine motor hand movements. To evaluate manipulation performance, we considered three measures: task completion time, number of collisions (hot wire task), and percentage of object displacement (building block task). Additionally, we explored the sense of agency and subjective impressions (preference, ease of interaction, successful and awkwardness) evoked by the different hand-visualizations. The results show that (1) manipulation performance is significantly higher when interacting with real objects compared to virtual ones, (2) invisible hands lead to fewer errors, higher agency, higher perceived success and ease of interaction during fine manipulation tasks with real objects, and (3) having some visualization of the virtual hands (transparent or opaque) overlayed on the real hands is preferred when manipulating virtual objects even when there are no significant performance improvements.

Existing technologies for optical-see-through AR NEDs involve trade-offs between key metrics such as field of view (FOV), eyebox size, form factor, etc. We have enhanced an existing compact wide-FOV pinlight AR NED design with real-time 3D pupil localization in order to dynamically steer and thus effectively enlarge the usable eyebox. This is achieved with a dual-camera rig that captures stereoscopic views of the pupils. The 3D pupil location is used to dynamically calculate a display pattern that spatio-temporally modulates the light entering the wearer's eyes. We have built a demonstrable compact prototype and have conducted a user study that indicates the effectiveness of our eyebox steering method (e.g., without eyebox steering, in 10.5% of our tests, users were unable to perceive the test pattern correctly before experiment timeout; with eyebox steering, that fraction decreased dramatically to 1.25%). This is a small yet crucial step in making simple wide-FOV pinlight NEDs usable for human users and not just as demonstration prototypes filmed with a precisely positioned camera standing in for the user's eye.

However, for ECAs in AR, the question of how they should enter the user's space when summoned remains underexplored. In this paper, we focused on the plausibility of ECAs' entering action into the user's field of view in AR. We analyzed its impact on user experience, concentrating on perceived social presence and co-presence of the agent. Three entrance styles were chosen for comparison: an obviously impossible one, a possible one, and an intermediate one, alongside a voice-only condition. We designed and conducted a within-subjects study with 38 participants. Our results indicated that while the plausibility of the action had less impact on functionality compared to the embodiment itself, it significantly affected social/co-presence.
