Recently I just support various configurations for multiple boards. We have multiple boards for a while, which means we can fully use the limitless space in VR. However, it only happened in our side-by-side configuration. It costed my a while to find the correct math to support the other two configurations, mirrored face-to-face and eyes-free. …
Recently I applied some two-hand interaction to the content board in project multi-workstation. Previously, Ken said he wanted to try a horizontal board, not a eyes-free style, but a purely horizontal board. Inspired by that, I think it is worth trying to do content board manipulation. Intuitively, I implemented a simple translation and rotation based …
Recently, we are trying to setup a framework to account latency for either video pass-through or optical see-through glasses based on IMU data. Suppose we can find the pattern of head movement, especially for rotation movement, so we can predict where the head’s rotation will be. Thus we can pre-rotate the world for the user …
Recently I added a new configuration to our multi-workstation project. It is called eyes-free configuration. Inspired by artist’s work and previous comments on mid-air drawing, I borrowed the idea that user is drawing on an out-of-view surface while the result is simultaneously displayed on both the surface and another floating screen. Thus the user can …
Happy Holiday! (Thanks to all the professors, my proposal was approved yeh.) We’ve been talking about providing multiple Chalktalk boards in immersive environments for a while and now it exists! Well, it is not fully functional for now but we have a basic idea about how multiboards look like. Let’s take a look at my eight-directional …
Recently I made small progress for project Holodeck. Holodeck is a project that several labs are contributing to for our vision of future interaction. It includes various components and different use cases. What I recently did is starting to create a unity client for sending and receiving data. The current network components of holodeck are all in …
Recently we are wrapping the ChalktalkVR code and optimizing it, to some extent. First, we got the “splitting” feature integrated into the main branch. That means no matter how many lines we have in Chalktalk, ChalktalkVR is able to render that. (If not, report to KTR.) However, we found that when the amount of the …
UIST 2018 was just held in Germany a week ago. I am curious that how it is like this year so I was planning to go through it quickly at the beginning. First, I found out there was still quite a lot of work related to handmade new devices and robotics. The wearable shape-proxy interface, PuPoP, looks …

We have been working on multi-user experience in mixed reality for a while, because we have faith that people want to spend time together. However, I have confusion on both developing social interaction and enjoying that. It is always tedious and complicated to me during developing multi-user experience, including both hardware and software. For co-located …
Last week we submitted a Chalktalk related work to CHI. I always want to push Chalktalk to an HCI conference because it deserves that. Although we have so limited time because of various reasons, we made it eventually, thanks to Ken and Karl. MR Chalktalk is the nickname when we were thinking about a phrase …
