Today we are proud to announce a new #MixedReality service for #HoloLens: Azure Object Anchors techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/mixed-reali… #HoloLens2 #Azure

We designed a foot-based haptic feedback system for #telepresence robots and studied its use in a crowded public space. To find out more, check out our #ICMI2020 paper and presentation: doi.org/10.1145/338250… If you're at the conference, I'll be available for Q&A @ 17:00 CET.

Looking for a few more wilderness #SAR workers to volunteer for this study during the month of November. Please contact me if you're interested. Also, please spread the word. Thank you! BCSARA SAR Alberta BC AdventureSmart OSARVA Yukon Search and Rescue SARSAV SARVAC_ACVRS

Happy to share that our paper "Belonging There: VROOM-ing into the Uncanny Valley of XR Telepresence" has been accepted (w/ minor revisions) to #CSCW2021! This paper extends our previously-published (as a #CHI2020 LBW) VROOM work with a full study. #XR #AR #VR #telepresence #CSCW

Imagine the future: we program it, and we see it on our table.

Coinciding with the 1 year release anniversary 🥳of the #MicrosoftRocketbox library of avatars (github.com/microsoft/Micr…) I would like to do a blog post about how they have enabled your work and projects. Share here and send me an email ([email protected])

XRmas: bringing a remote family member into your home during #Christmas using #VR & #AR, making them belong to the space. Brennan Jones and I built this system during #COVID19 pandemic #xmas. To be presented in the #CHI2021 #SocialVR workshop tinyurl.com/xrmas-proj #HoloLens #XR

Our XRmas system used the open source #MicrosoftRocketBox avatar, and it's awesome to have such richly rigged assets free and open to everyone!

Tune in to Ep. 26 of #Metaphorigins on Apr 12th! I look for the origin to "Get Off On The Wrong Foot", and I discuss the interface of Art & Science. Two researchers in HCI, Sunny Yaying Zhang (MSc) & Brennan Jones (PhD Student), talk synergism between the two concepts in their work.

Joined a talk with my friend Kevin Mercurio on his podcast #Metaphorigins, we talked a lot on the middle land of #Technology and #Art. It was fun!

Aww

Wow real size Lego.

Facebook is now called 'Meta' #FacebookConnect

I am still looking for interns for this summer to work on avatars + ML, reach out if you are doing your PhD in USA or Canada. If you have some portfolio or cool papers/videos feel free to reply here!

You can now watch my talk at XR Access about how to fix VR/AR to do better in accessibility, and why I think it is particularly challenging. My take 🧵youtu.be/WG06R3f2h-4

Super interesting read about how to frame accessibility tech as an inclusive design problem that affects all of us. eweek.com/enterprise-app… (via Kagonya Awori) XR Access
