ABSTRACT
A projection screen in the shape of a tent provides children with a shared immersive experience of a virtual world based on the metaphor of camping. RFID aerials at its entrances sense tagged children and objects as they enter and leave. Video tracking allows multiple flashlights to be used as pointing devices. The tent is an example of a traversable interface, designed for deployment in public spaces such as museums, galleries and classrooms.

Stepping off a ledge in an HMD-based immersive virtual environment
SAP '13: Proceedings of the ACM Symposium on Applied PerceptionWe explore whether a gender-matched, calibrated self-avatar affects the perception of the affordance of stepping off of a ledge, or visual cliff, in an immersive virtual environment. Visual cliffs form demonstrations in many immersive virtual ...
A comparison of two cost-differentiated virtual reality systems for perception and action tasks
SAP '14: Proceedings of the ACM Symposium on Applied PerceptionRecent advances in technology and the opportunity to obtain commodity-level components have made the development and use of three-dimensional virtual environments more available than ever before. How well such components work to generate realistic ...
The effect of avatar model in stepping off a ledge in an immersive virtual environment
