چکیده

Kinect and Leap Motion sensors are commonly used for tracking applications today. However, both sensors have failure modes in particular tracking scenarios. The Kinect sensor is very sensitive to the orientation of the user with respect to the sensor and is susceptible to occlusions. The Leap Motion senor has a limited range and field of view, but is far more accurate than the Kinect. In this paper, these two sensor are combined to utilize the range and field of view of the Kinect sensor with the accuracy of the Leap Motion. A virtual reality (VR) game is used to demonstrate this tracking system and evaluated via user feedback. Based on the feedback from users it can be seen that users perceive the combined system to be more seamless to interact with as they do not need to worry much about the physical space of hand interaction.

Evaluation of Accommodation Responses to Monovision for Virtual Reality

Emerging virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) systems can produce highly immersive experiences, but also induce visual discomfort, eyestrain, and nausea for some users. One of the sources of these symptoms is the lack of natural focus cues in all current VR/AR near-eye displays. These displays project stereoscopic image pairs, driving the vergence state of the eyes to arbitrary distances. Howe...
