DescriptionWe present a novel redirected walking technique for virtual reality leveraging dynamic foveated rendering and a psychological phenomenon of inattentional blindness. Extensive testing with three user studies showed that the technique can handle long straight walks in the virtual environment and works in real time.

DescriptionMany HMD controllers have the disadvantage that they cannot be operated once they are moved to the occluded spot of the sensor. In this Poster, we propose a smartphone HMD controller that can estimate the 6DoF by the inside-out tracking using image recognition and cover this disadvantage.

DescriptionDue to the limited range of depth sensors, the depth estimators for wild images were trained by ordinal data. Without the need of retrain, we propose an approach to create seamlessly ordinal depth for 360 wild images.
The 360 depth was applied to VR displays for improving the virtual perception.

DescriptionWe present a hybrid-haptic feedback system with a stationary fan and wireless controller with a fan. To explore the possibility of using our system to expand the user's perception of environmental wind, we investigate the user's perception of the wind-blowing area combined with different distances and handheld
wind speeds.

DescriptionUnlike playback of a video where a user can only alter the playback experience, a recorded virtual reality (VR) experience when played back in VR allows unprecedented interaction possibilities, including alteration of the content. We term this concept Vuja De, the propensity of finding novelty in familiar experiences.
