I have been developing applications for Pressure-sensing floor mat for the past few years. When comparing to typical motion capture devices, floor mat proved it is irreplaceable on the tasks such as monitoring weight shifting and muscle movement. One piece of the floor mat is only about 2 sqft. People may not be able to

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

Last week I ordered 100 VR viewers from a company called TinyDeal in China. They are only $2 each, so my total cost was $200. That is such a low price that in a sense they are free. Once things cost just $2 apiece, you can basically hand them out as party favors. Those little

For the last week or so, I’ve been working with the Faceware software to create facial animations for Ayara for the final version of CAVE. There were a lot of issues with our license and some with the software itself but after a few days of emailing Faceware, we got most of it sorted out

As mentioned in my last blog, our lab got two Intel Realsense stereo cameras. I got a chance to try one of them for testing. Ken told me he got an idea about multitouch detection by utilizing depth, and we wanted to see if it can work out on the Realsense camera. By pointing down

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

Sometimes you want to hang out and talk with somebody, and sometimes you want to read something. We think of these two kinds of communication as two different worlds, but we don’t think either of these worlds is more “correct” than the other. As we well know, they actually complement each other quite well. We
