A rowing ergometer reproduces the effort of locomotion while removing its perceptual accompaniment, filling the gap with a console that must be read. Since Xerox PARC, ambient-display research has argued that information can occupy the periphery, but almost entirely for
This project is on integrating Machine Learning techniques to the design, creation, and performative aspect of Digital Musical Instruments (DMIs). More specifically we are interested in how Generative Machine Learning can be used as a creative tool for musicians that
Automatic Identification System (AIS) data is a crucial foundation of maritime operations such as navigation, traffic management, and safety monitoring. This requires robust management, visualization, and interactive visual analytics systems for the operators. Since usability, effectiveness, and accuracy are key
We present PerspectAR, a novel system addressing perspective distortion on displays caused by large size and wide viewing angles. PerspectAR has three components: a virtual AR screen that curves dynamically according to a user’s position relative to the display, a
Most virtual reality systems and experiences focus on the visual channel, with audio—and more rarely haptics—in a supporting role. We designed and evaluated a VR system that omits the visual channel entirely, enabling non-visual exploration of large virtual environments using
MegaJenga is an innovative approach to the classic Jenga game, leveraging augmented reality (AR) to create an immersive and interactive experience. By integrating AR technology, MegaJenga transforms traditional gameplay into a dynamic and collaborative activity, allowing players to engage with
ARTIV (Augmented Reality Techniques for Immersive Visualization) was a series of collaborative projects with Ericsson’s GAIA Centre in Montréal. The projects explored combining headworn augmented reality and mobile computing devices to help users interpret and understand data. Researchers on ARTIV
Mapping Middleware is a technique for connecting components (either software or hardware) of multimedia systems. This includes Digital Musical Instruments (DMIs) and many other creativity support tools. We’ve worked on building the libmapper project, which is an open-source and cross
Gesture and form features a multi-disciplinary collaboration between human computer interaction (HCI), architectural design and technology, and cultural anthropology and material culture studies to investigate the integration of Augmented Reality (AR) in handcraft and educational design. Additional information can be
Story CreatAR is a novel tool designed to support the creation of stories in Augmented Reality (AR) and and Virtual Reality (VR). It allows authors to add story elements (e.g., avatars, audio files, and objects such as beds and tables)
