  Localizing the user from a feature database of a scene is a basic and necessary step for presentation of localized augmented reality (AR) content. Commonly such a database depicts a single appearance of the scene, due to ...
• Dynamic View Expansion for Improving Visual Search in Video See-through AR 

  Yano, Yuki; Orlosky, Jason; Kiyokawa, Kiyoshi; Takemura, Haruo (The Eurographics Association, 2016)

  The extension or expansion of human vision is often accomplished with video see-through head mounted displays (HMDs) because of their clarity and ability to modulate background information. However, little is known about ...
• MR Work Supporting System Using Pepper's Ghost 

  Tsuruzoe, Hiroto; Odera, Satoru; Shigeno, Hiroshi; Okada, Ken-ichi (The Eurographics Association, 2016)

  Recently MR (Mixed Reality) techniques are used in many fields, and one of them is work support. Work support using MR techniques can display work instructions directly in the work space and help user to work effectively ...
• Blurry (Sticky) Finger: Proprioceptive Pointing and Selection of Distant Objects for Optical See-through based Augmented Reality 

  Yu, Ja Eun; Kim, Gerard J. (The Eurographics Association, 2016)

  Most AR interaction techniques are focused on direct interaction with close objects within one’s reach (e.g. using the hands). Interacting with distant objects, especially those that are real, has not received much attention. ...
• A Superwide-FOV Optical Design for Head-Mounted Displays 

  Rakkolainen, Ismo; Turk, Matthew; Höllerer, Tobias (The Eurographics Association, 2016)

  We present a new optical design for head-mounted displays (HMD) that has an exceptionally wide field of view (FOV). It can cover even the full human FOV. It is based on seamless lenses and screens curved around the eyes. ...
• Real-Time 3D Peripheral View Analysis 

  Moniri, Mohammad Mehdi; Luxenburger, Andreas; Schuffert, Winfried; Sonntag, Daniel (The Eurographics Association, 2016)

  Human peripheral vision suffers from several limitations that differ among various regions of the visual field. Since these limitations result in natural visual impairments, many interesting intelligent user interfaces ...
• View Dependent Tone Mapping of HDR Panoramas for Head Mounted Displays 

  Cutchin, Steve; Li, Yuan (The Eurographics Association, 2016)

  Head mounted display(HMD)s are characterized by relatively low resolution and low dynamic range. These limitations significantly reduce the visual quality of photorealistic captures on such displays. In this paper we present ...
• AquaCAVE: An Underwater Immersive Projection System for Enhancing the Swimming Experience 

  Yamashita, Shogo; Zhang, Xinlei; Miyaki, Takashi; Rekimoto, Jun (The Eurographics Association, 2016)
