Attention guidance for immersive video content in head-mounted displays
Research Paper / IEEE VR / Mar 2017 / Immersive/AR/VR/MR, Human Machine Interface

Immersive videos allow users to freely explore 4 π steradian scenes within head-mounted displays (HMD), leading to a strong feeling of immersion. However users may miss important elements of the narrative if not facing them. Hence, we propose four visual effects to guide the user's attention. After an informal pilot study, two of the most efficient effects were evaluated through a user study. Results show that our approach has potential but it remains challenging to implicitly drive the user's attention outside of the field of view.

Towards Mobile Diminished Reality
RESEARCH PAPER / Oct 2018 / Immersive/AR/VR/MR, Computer Vision
We present a diminished reality application running live on consumer mobile devices. In our pre-observation-based approach, the clean 3D scene, free of undesired objects, is scanned beforehand and reconstructed as a high resolution textured 3D model. At runtime, objects added in a region of interest are efficiently removed by projecting...
A Tangible Surface for Digital Sculpting in Virtual Environments
RESEARCH PAPER / Jun 2018 / Immersive/AR/VR/MR, Haptics, Human Machine Interface
With the growth of virtual reality setups, digital sculpting tools become more and more immersive. It is now possible to create a piece of art within a virtual environment, directly with the controllers. However, these devices do not allow to touch the virtual material as a sculptor would do. To...
Haptic Material: A Holistic Approach for Haptic Texture Mapping
RESEARCH PAPER / Jun 2018 / Immersive/AR/VR/MR, Haptics, Human Machine Interface
In this paper, we propose a new format for haptic texture mapping which is not dependent on the haptic rendering setup hardware. Our “haptic material” format encodes ten elementary haptic features in dedicated maps, similarly to “materials” used in computer graphics. These ten different features enable the expression of compliance,...
