MechARspace: An Authoring System Enabling Bidirectional Binding of Augmented Reality with Toys in Real-time
Augmented Reality (AR), which blends physical and virtual worlds, presents the possibility of enhancing traditional toy design. By leveraging bidirectional virtual-physical interactions between humans and the designed artifact, such AR-enhanced...
ARnnotate: An Augmented Reality Interface for Collecting Custom Dataset of 3D Hand-Object Interaction Pose Estimation
Vision-based 3D pose estimation has substantial potential in hand-object interaction applications and requires user-specified datasets to achieve robust performance. We propose ARnnotate, an Augmented Reality (AR) interface enabling end-users to...
ScalAR: Authoring Semantically Adaptive Augmented Reality Experiences in Virtual Reality
Augmented Reality (AR) experiences tightly associate virtual contents with environmental entities. However, the dissimilarity of different environments limits the adaptive AR content behaviors under large-scale deployment. We propose ScalAR, an...
GesturAR: An Authoring System for Creating Freehand Interactive Augmented Reality Applications
Freehand gesture is an essential input modality for modern Augmented Reality (AR) user experiences. However, developing AR applications with customized hand interactions remains a challenge for end-users. Therefore, we propose GesturAR, an...
LightPaintAR: Assist Light Painting Photography with Augmented Reality
Light painting photos are created by moving light sources in mid-air while taking a long exposure photo. However, it is challenging for novice users to leave accurate light traces without any spatial guidance. Therefore, we present LightPaintAR, a...
AdapTutAR: An Adaptive Tutoring System for Machine Tasks in Augmented Reality
Modern manufacturing processes are in a state of flux, as they adapt to increasing demand for flexible and self-configuring production. This poses challenges for training workers to rapidly master new machine operations and processes, i.e. machine...
CAPturAR: An Augmented Reality Tool for Authoring Human-Involved Context-Aware Applications
Recognition of human behavior plays an important role in context-aware applications. However, it is still a challenge for end-users to build personalized applications that accurately recognize their own activities. Therefore, we present CAPturAR,...
An Exploratory Study of Augmented Reality Presence for Tutoring Machine Tasks
Machine tasks in workshops or factories are often a compound sequence of local, spatial, and body-coordinated human-machine interactions. Prior works have shown the merits of video-based and augmented reality (AR) tutoring systems for local tasks....
Autonomous Robotic Exploration and Mapping of Smart Indoor Environments With UWB-IoT Devices
The emerging simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) techniques enable robots with the spatial awareness of the physical world. However, such awareness remains at a geometric level. We propose an approach for quickly constructing a smart...
