Experiences in Extemporaneous Incorporation of Real Objects in Immersive Virtual Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present our experiences in developing, and user responses in experimenting with, virtual environments that can dynamically incorporate (visualize and interact with) real objects. We have found hybrid environments can enable natural interaction, extremely rapid development, and an effective platform for conducting tasks with a substantial manual component. We hope this article will encourage more research into incorporating real objects into virtual environments. This would improve interaction, enhance effectiveness, and increase the applicability of virtual environments to a broader range of tasks.

Panoramic Imagery of Physical Locations inside Immersive Environments
Immersive environments hold great promise in allowing people to physically engage with virtual objects and surroundings in a natural and intuitive manner. In this project, we will develop immersive virtual environments using panoramic imagery of real-world physical locations, and explore the effects of presenting real-world panoramic imagery in immersive environments compared with traditional d...
متن کاملEffects of Handling Real Objects and Avatar Fidelity On Cognitive Task Performance in Virtual Environments
Immersive virtual environments (VEs) provide participants with computer-generated environments filled with virtual objects to assist in learning, training, and practicing dangerous and/or expensive tasks. But for certain tasks, does having every object being virtual inhibit the interactivity? Further, does the virtual object’s visual fidelity affect performance? Overall VE effectiveness may be ...
متن کاملUsing Real Objects for Interaction Tasks in Immersive Virtual Environments
The use of immersive virtual environments for industrial applications has now reached maturity in a number of areas including oil and gas exploration and the visualisation of complex scientific data sets. However, there are still a number of applications which benefit greatly from the use of three-dimensional immersive virtual environments, but technological limitations, user interaction techni...
متن کاملThe Amalgamation – Product Design Aspects for the Development of Immersive Virtual Environments
Interacting in an immersive virtual environment we refer to the real world. The user gets to expect real world behaviour from virtual objects and functions. We explore the idea of bringing aspects of product design to the development of input devices and interaction techniques for virtual environments. We use ergonomics and product language to design the physical input device, the virtual repre...
متن کاملEmbodied Experiences in Immersive Virtual Enviornments: Effects on Pro-environmental Self- Efficacy and Behavior
This study explored whether sensorimotor experiences of cutting down a tree in a virtual forest would be more effective compared to mentally simulating the same experience in terms of increasing pro-environmental self-efficacy and behavior in the physical, non-mediated world. Two modalities for embodying the tree-cutting experience were compared: immersive virtual environment and mental simulat...
