abstract = {Many researchers are exploring the use of Brain Computer Interfaces (BCI) in combination with Internet of Things (IoT) tools, and robotic control. However, the training and application process for BCI controls can be difficult to achieve partially due to the required double-attention of both the target matter, and the on screen feedback loop used during training. Enter Augmented Reality (AR), a technique for embedding computer generated content (CG) in the user’s view of the environment. In this research, we describe a system that explores the combination of a BCI training environment with AR technologies for both training and run time usage. We show the key advantage of this combination, allowing the user to focus directly on the subject matter. While our work is in the prototype phase, we show that this combination of AR and BCI has the potential to be effective in the training and usage of BCI interfaces.},

We also implement two key approaches for painting a virtual 3D model using mid-air hand gestures. This includes a virtual pen which the user can grasp using their hand, akin to a real pen and the use of the user's fingertip directly on the virtual 3D model. We hope to explore how these various techniques effect user's efficiency and accuracy when performing surface painting of virtual objects using mid-air hand gestures via. several user studies.},

It is our hope that this system will simplify the complexity of these mental transformations and increase the efficiency of bio-mechanical measurements.},

abstract = {Music performances have transformed in unprecedented ways with the advent of digital music. Plenty of music visualizers enhance live performances in various forms, including LED display boards and holographic illustrations. However, the impracticability of live performances due to the CoVID-19 outbreak has led to event organizers adopting alternatives in virtual environments. In this work, we propose Liquid Hands, an Augmented Reality (AR) music visualizer system, wherein three-dimensional particles react to the flow of music, forming a visually aesthetic escapade. With hand-particle interactions, Liquid Hands aims to enrich the music listening experience in one’s personal space and bridge the gap between virtual and physical concerts. We intend to explore the emotions our system induces by conducting a pilot study, in which we measure the user’s psychological state through Electroencephalography (EEG). We hypothesize that the proposed system will evoke emotions akin to those exhibited in live music performances.},

In this work, we describe a framework that enables rapid prototyping and evaluation of an interface. Our system enables different modes of interaction, content placement, and simulated AR HMD field of view to assess which combination is best suited to inform future researchers on design recommendations. We provide examples of how the framework could be used to create sample applications, the types of the studies which could be supported, and example results from a simple pilot study.},

abstract = {Computational Thinking (CT) has been described as taking an approach to solving problems, designing systems and understanding human behavior that draws on concepts fundamental to computing. It is the ability to integrate human creativity and insight with concepts derived from Computer Science. We argue that it is best to learn the fundamentals of CT at a young age, when the mind is most malleable, instead of much later when these concepts are taught as part of Computer Science courses. However, challenges arise not only when trying to teach these complex concepts to young children, but also when applying these teachings through kindergarten environments. We present a definition of the basic fundamental CT concepts and then describe a unique hybrid approach of offline and online activities to teach these fundamentals to students at the kindergarten (K1 and K2) level (children aged 4-6 years old). Finally we validate this approach with a pilot class to determine its learning effectiveness.},

abstract = {INTRODUCTION

Recent years saw an explosion in Augmented Reality (AR) experiences for consumers. These experiences can be classified based on the scale of the interactive area (room vs city/global scale) , or the fidelity of the experience (high vs low) [4]. Experiences that target large areas, such as campus or world scale [7, 6], commonly have only rudimentary interactions with the physical world, and suffer from registration errors and jitter. We classify these experiences as large scale and low fidelity. On the other hand, various room sized experiences [5, 8] feature realistic interaction of virtual content with the real world. We classify these experiences as small scale and high fidelity.



Our work is the first to explore the domain of large scale high fidelity (LSHF) AR experiences. We build upon the small scale high fidelity capabilities of the Microsoft HoloLens to allow LSHF interactions. We demonstrate the capabilities of our system with a game specifically designed for LSHF

interactions, handling many challenges and limitations unique to the domain of LSHF AR through the game design.



Our contributions are twofold:

 The lessons learned during the design and development of a system capable of LSHF AR interactions.

 Identification of a set of reusable game elements specific to LSHF AR, including mechanisms for addressing spatio-temporal inconsistencies and crowd control. We believe our contributions will be fully applicable not only to games, but all LSHF AR experiences.},
