The Role of Perception in Augmented and Virtual Reality: Challenges and Opportunities


Abstract:

Augmented and virtual reality technologies now exist at the commodity level, yet designing and experiencing situations that maximize their potential remains challenging. The quality of experience in these technologies is enhanced when people perceive and act in augmented and virtual environments as they would in the real world. In this talk, I discuss role of perception in understanding how to improve the design of augmented and virtual environments. I consider challenges and opportunities that perceptual research provides for improving augmented and virtual reality.


Bio:

Bobby Bodenheimer is a Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Vanderbilt University. He also holds an appointment in the Department of Psychology and Human Development. His research examines virtual and augmented reality, specifically how people act, perceive, locomote, and navigate in virtual and augmented environments. He is the recipient of an NSF CAREER award and received his Ph.D. from the California Institute of Technology.
