Off-the-shelf smartphone-based AR systems typically use a single front-facing or rear-facing camera, which restricts user interactions to a narrow field of view and small screen size, thus reducing their practicality. We present Cam-2-Cam, an interaction concept implemented in three smartphone-based AR applications with interactions that span both cameras.

In this work we investigated redirected walking in virtual reality using saccadic eye movements to determine when to rotate the participant in their virtual environment. We tested participants by placing them into a virtual environment where they worked on completing a series of simple tasks while being rotated according to their saccadic eye movements at a randomized degree of rotation. After testing, our results displayed a marked difference between the participant’s movement in the virtual environment versus the real-world environment. This difference shows the potential of using saccadic eye movement to keep a user immersed even within a smaller than optimal play area.

We developed a model to identify more of the underlying structures captured by the Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation LiDAR (GEDI) aboard the International Space Station.

Working under the supervision of Dr. Krzystof Pietroszek and Dr. Christian Eckhardt, we developed a low-cost robotic hand with flex sensor hardware as an alternative to myo electric sensors typically used for prosthetics.
