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
This project is generally focused on integrating Machine Learning techniques to the design, creation, and performance aspect of Digital Musical Instruments (DMIs). More specifically we are interested in how Generative Machine Learning can be used as a creative tool for
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)
The MIMIR (Mission-Relevant Information Management for Integrated Response) project addresses the issue of how to support the current and future information needs of naval decision makers onboard Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) vessels. In the MIMIR project the Graphics and Experiential
As part of Dalhousie’s 200th anniversary commemoration, we created an interactive stairwell exhibit celebrating the contributions of women in Computer Science. Installed in the foyer of the Computer Science building, the names of prominent international, national, and local women in
A basic premise of collaborative mixed reality systems is that they enable mixed presence (collocated and remote) collaboration by effectively blending physical and virtual spaces. In this project we consider what it means to ‘effectively blend’ real and virtual for
Curling Virtuoso is an interactive semi-curling based simulation, presented in the form of virtual reality experience. It is set up in the context of a public exhibit whereby the surrounding crowd can influence player’s decisions in the game. The purpose
Spacehopper is a large-scale, floor-projected version of the classic 1979 arcade game Asteroids where players bounce on a hopper ball to control their ship. We follow the same rules as the original game: asteroids break into smaller ones once hit,
Recruiting pairs for study! We are recruiting pairs of participants for a study exploring how people interact and share augmented reality (AR) experiences with others. The study will assess the impact of different sharing techniques in a real-world application. Participants
