Domain users (DUs) with a knowledge base in specialized fields are frequently excluded from authoring virtual reality (VR)-based applications in corresponding fields. This is largely due to the requirement of VR programming expertise needed to...
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...
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...
VRFromX: From Scanned Reality to Interactive Virtual Experience with Human-in-the-Loop
There is an increasing trend of Virtual-Reality (VR) applications found in education, entertainment, and industry. Many of them utilize real world tools, environments, and interactions as bases for creation. However, creating such applications is...
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....
