FingerTouch: Touch Interaction Using a Fingernail-Mounted Sensor on a Head-Mounted Display for Augmented Reality

Music Education using Augmented Reality with a Head Mounted Display

Traditional music education places a large emphasis on individual practice. Studies have shown that individual practice is frequently not very productive due to limited feedback and students lacking interest and motivation. In this paper we explore the use of augmented reality to create an immersive experience to improve the efficiency of learning of beginner piano students. The objective is to...

Touch Feedback in a Head-Mounted Display Virtual Reality through a Kinesthetic Haptic Device

This paper presents the integration of a three degree-of-freedom (3-DOF) kinesthetic haptic device with a head-mounted display (HMD), using a virtual piano keyboard as a motivating application. The inertial sensors in the HMD allow the user to view the full set of keys without zooming out simply by turning his or her head to look up and down the keyboard. The haptic device further increases imm...

Head-Mounted Display Systems

Real-time three-dimensional (3D) interactive displays refer to display devices servo to the line of sight of a user, allowing not only free head motion, but also potentially and importantly full body mobility. Ideally, one could wish for such capability to exist without the need to wear any view-aided device. However, unless a display system could be created in space, anywhere and anytime, a si...

Diminishing Head-Mounted Display for Shared Mixed Reality

We propose a new scheme to recover the eye-contact between multiple users in a Shared Mixed-Reality Space. The eye-contact in a shared mixed-reality space is lost as the side effect of wearing head-mounted displays. We synthesize facial images in real-time with arbitrary poses and eye expressions by using several photographs of the user. The face images are overlaid in order to diminish the HMD...
