An Automated Virtual Receptionist for Recognizing Visitors and Assuring Mask Wearing
(The Eurographics Association, 2020)
Intelligent virtual agents have many societal uses, specifically in situations in which the presence of real humans would be prohibitive. In particular, virtual receptionists can perform a variety of tasks associated with ...
Effect of Motion and Hand Shape of a Massage Robot on Social Impression: Exploratory study in a Virtual Environment
(The Eurographics Association, 2020)
We aimed to investigate the effects of motion pattern and hand shape on social impressions of a massage robot. The experiment was performed in a virtual environment as an exploratory study. Participants observed a massage ...
Augmented Dodgeball AR Viewer for Spectators
(The Eurographics Association, 2019)
These last few years many systems and methods have been developed to provide information to spectators about a sport game such as baseball, basketball, soccer, etc. Among them, Augmented Sport is one of the emerging area ...
Video Guides on Head-Mounted Displays: The Effect of Misalignments on Manual Task Performance
(The Eurographics Association, 2016)
Head-Mounted Displays (HMD) are becoming widely available at affordable prices. A typical application of HMDs is supporting users when perform manual tasks. However, displaying information on a HMD without any registration ...
Situational Awareness in Human Computer Interaction: Diana's World
(The Eurographics Association, 2020)
In this paper, we illustrate the role that situated awareness plays in modeling human interactions with Intelligent Virtual Agents (IVAs). Here we describe Diana, a multimodal IVA who exists within an embodied Human-Computer ...
Functional Reactive Augmented Reality: Proof of Concept Using an Extended Augmented Desktop with Swipe Interaction
(The Eurographics Association, 2016)
Functional Reactive Programing (FRP) is a new paradigm that has been evolving and used in many different fields, i.e.: robotics, user interface and others. FRP was originally developed as a programming paradigm to handle ...
The Giant Experience: Visual Transfer Design to Virtually Extend the User's Body
(The Eurographics Association, 2014)
Large-scale tasks in the field, such as site investigation or civil engineering projects, require workers to have a certain level of situational awareness. However, the coverage area is too broad to investigate at once in ...
Smart Fan: Self-contained Mobile Robot that Performs Human Detection and Tracking using Thermal Camera
(The Eurographics Association, 2014)
The intelligence within these systems has been developed so that the products are autonomous. Among them, we especially focused on the air conditioning control with smart products. This paper proposes a smart fan robot ...
Towards Interactive Virtual Dogs as a Pervasive Social Companion in Augmented Reality
(The Eurographics Association, 2020)
Pets and animal-assisted intervention sessions have shown to be beneficial for humans' mental, social, and physical health. However, for specific populations, factors such as hygiene restrictions, allergies, and care and ...
Empathy with Human's and Robot's Embarrassments in Virtual Environments
(The Eurographics Association, 2020)
We feel embarrassed not only when we are embarrassed but also when we are watching others embarrassed. Humans show empathy for pain not only human others but also robots. However, it has not been investigated whether humans ...
