Use of virtual reality (VR) technology is proliferating for designing and upgrading
entertainment devices, and creating virtual environments that could be used for research …

Head-mounted displays (HMDs) increase immersion into virtual worlds. The problem is that
this limits headset users' awareness of bystanders: headset users cannot attend to …

Virtual environments (VEs) afford similar interactions to those in physical environments:
individuals can navigate and manipulate objects. Yet, a prerequisite for these interactions is …

360-degree video contains a full field of environmental content. However, browsing these
videos, either on screens or through head-mounted displays (HMDs), users consume only a …

We propose a novel interface concept in which interactive systems directly manipulate the
user's head orientation. We implement this using electrical-muscle-stimulation (EMS) of the …

Remote collaboration to share abilities over the Internet is one of the ultimate goals of
telepresence technology. In this paper, we present JackIn Head, a visual telepresence …

Humans easily miss events in their surroundings due to limited short-term memory and field
of view. This happens, for example, while watching an instructor's machine repair …

Sharing one's own immersive experience over the Internet is one of the ultimate goals of
telepresence technology. In this paper, we present JackIn Head, a visual telepresence …

A head-mounted display cannot cover an angle of visual field as wide as that of natural view
(out-of-view problem). To enhance the visual cognition of an immersive environment …

Head-mounted displays let users explore virtual environments through a viewport that is
coupled with head movement. In this work, we investigate gaze as an alternative modality for …
