Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality: Reshaping the Future of Interactive Experiences

In the modern society, nowadays, Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) are permeating into our daily lives. Not only it changes the way individuals interact with digital content, but also has a significant influence on urbanization, migration, social justice, urban right and so on. This paper aims at analyzing the potential of VR and AR, particularly in different areas of society as they transform society in different ways. Regarding the concepts above, it investigates how these technologies affect questions of urbanism, equality, mobility, prejudice, and rights in cities. Through the examination of the concepts of Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality and their utilization, the paper exposes the possibility of developing an equitable built environment in cities. In this paper, having provided an overview of the existing literature and cases, issues and prospects are revealed in VR and AR development. Thus, studies imply that the implementation of both VR and AR into the main urban planning and social policies can promote social equity and inclusion.

Landmark Detection Using Machine Learning

As smartphones and mobile data become more prevalent in modern society, the possibilities for them to interact with the physical world also grow exponentially. Technologies such as Oculus Rift and Google Glass are attempting to bridge the gap between the virtual and the physical, and as enhancements in computer speed and image processing are made, the concept of Augmented Reality (AR) becomes more tangible. However, one difficulty with AR is the sheer complexity of image processing and feature recognition. A successful AR system must be able to distinguish among a large number of landmarks and should be able to adapt to the existence of new landmarks. Because of the adaptability requirement, AR algorithms naturally lend themselves to using machine learning. As such, the focus of this project is to develop, refine and document a machine learning algorithm that can distinguish landmarks from images using a database of known landmarks.

Development and Usability Evaluation of Transitional Cross-Reality Interfaces

The concept of Transitional Cross-Reality Interfaces where a user can seamlessly transition across the Reality-Virtuality-Continuum dates back to the introduction of the Magic Book in 2001 but recently gained new research momentum since head-mounted displays advanced by combining the former distinctive concepts of augmented reality and virtual reality into a single device. New technological capabilities require new ways of developing applications to satisfy user requirements. Especially in the context of operating in multiple realities, developing AR/VR applications is not a trivial task. In this context, the development of Transitional Cross-Reality Interfaces remains a complex engineering problem that requires specific methods, concepts, and tools. To address this problem and provide a systematic development approach, we propose a conceptual framework for both developing and evaluating Transitional Cross-Reality Interfaces. To evaluate our solution, we implemented a Transitional Cross-Reality Interface based on our framework and evaluated it with both the measurements provided by the framework and additional questionnaires. We found high usability and interesting transitional behavior of users indicating the usefulness of the proposed framework as an underlying software architecture for Transitional Cross-Reality Interfaces.

3D rooms map concept based augmented reality for green library

Green libraries are an exciting topic for creating environmentally friendly buildings. Libraries are synonymous with book lending services and comfortable reading rooms. The green library concept will be in line with increasing the comfort of library visitors. Libraries with large buildings need room maps for visitors to find room information. This research aims to create a room map with the concept of Augmented Reality (AR). Room maps generally use 2D images that provide information or instructions for all rooms in a building. The Augmented Reality approach as a 3D-based room map will undoubtedly provide a different experience to library visitors. Creating an AR room map will apply the Multimedia Development Life Cycle (MDLC) method. This method is suitable for application in multimedia product development. However, the resulting product is not only used as room map information but can also be used as a library promotional tool.

The first attempts to create interactive devices that allow interacting with simulated reality or supplementing reality with superimposed information were made at the beginning of the XX century, the concept of mixed reality ("the continuum of reality-virtuality), the elements of which are AR and VR in the modern view, is quite young (24 years), as well as the market of technologies themselves virtual and augmented reality. And although the concepts and concepts of virtual and augmented reality have not undergone radical changes over the past 30 years, virtual and augmented reality technologies have gone through a significant evolutionary path both in terms of improving devices and software, and content, and have already experienced several growth spurts. Their use will not be limited only to the sphere of entertainment and games. Many experts believe that virtual and augmented reality technologies, along with BigData, cloud technologies, artificial intelligence and some others, will become key technologies of the quadruple industrial revolution.

Review Study About Marketing Strategies Implemented During Covid -19 Pandemic in Both Global and Sri Lankan Context

Marketing strategies play a significant role in achieving an organization’s long-term goals and short-term objectives. In order to access and involve with target audience in a dynamic global environment, marketing strategies should be developed in modern competitive business world. Therefore, this research intends to clear the way to a review study about Marketing strategies implemented during COVID -19 pandemic in both global and Sri Lankan context. In fact, the importance of execution of proper marketing strategies as a driving force to gain competitive advantage during post COVID – 19 period in a dynamic business world primarily encouraged the researcher to conduct this study. As a result, investigation and critical review of previous and recent studies in line with the similar phenomena of research studies were conducted in order to absorb important details and findings. Through the review study, it was possible not only to have an understanding about marketing strategies implemented by different organizations under different industries in both Sri Lankan context and global context to combat COVID -19 pandemic to survive in the business but also it was possible to identify some challenges encountered by different organizations during COVID -19 pandemic. As a summary, it was evident through the derived conclusions of the review study that interaction of consumers with online shopping became frequent due to social distance and less movement with physical visit to shops and super markets during COVID -19 pandemic. Further to above, online shopping becomes a main preference by majority of consumers has created a challenging barrier for retailers to encourage people to visit their retail stores although unique elements of visual merchandising are a powerful marketing tool in attracting consumers in various industries. It can also be concluded through the study that consumers prefer to pay a higher price for luxury items or luxury goods associated with good brand reputation while previous studies also reveal that consumer ethnocentrism causes customers to overestimate locally produced items or goods compared to imported items or goods resulting in the rejection of foreign brands. When implementation of current marketing strategies of organizations under different industries both in Sri Lankan context and global context during post COVID – 19 period is considered, social media marketing strategy should be aligned by focusing on interacting more with customers by paying more attention to the aspects of creative content creation, correct targeting on influencers, localisation of brand based on location and proper data collection about consumer needs. Further visual merchandising strategy need to be integrated with online marketing and social media marketing of the organization by offering digitalized real time client experience on the website of the organization by utilising augmented reality concepts since consumers interact more with online shopping nowadays. When it comes to premium pricing strategy, it is vital for organizations to position the product or service in customers’ mind price as a quality indicator specially for products associated with an excellent brand reputation among customers to convey a message that high price indicates high quality. As per the derived conclusions, when consumer ethnocentrism is taken into consideration as a strategy, application of Indigenous Marketing is very useful to promote the requirement of manufacturing locally and buying locally to supplement ethnocentric ideals of citizens by making sure high-quality products and by reminding customers of the value of supporting domestic enterprises.

Taxonomy and definition of audio augmented reality (AAR): A grounded theory study

AR applications have mostly considered visual augmentations while excluding other modalities. Recent developments in audio augmented reality (AAR) applications have been based on the definitions of visual AR or mixed reality (MR), and thus, AAR technology development has lacked systematic efforts. We investigated the concept of augmented reality through audio to provide a systematic understanding and generate a taxonomy and a definition for AAR. A conference workshop (N = 28), focus groups (N = 18), and expert interviews (N = 6) generated qualitative data regarding the concept of AAR. Grounded Theory (GT) was used to analyze the data and produce a new taxonomy and a definition. The AAR taxonomy consists of three categories – Environment Connected, Goal Directed, and Context Adapted, with three subcategories respectively. The need for a separate taxonomy for AAR is highlighted to aid in the development of AAR applications in a systematic manner. The taxonomy is expected to be used as a heuristic tool that can guide developers to build AAR applications and can be used in evaluating user experience with AAR applications.

Identification the Impact of Differentiated Digitally Supported Learning Environments

The concepts of flipped learning (FL) and augmented reality (AR) draw attention which find strong support for contributing to learning performance. The purpose of this research is to examine to what extent pre-service teachers' environments with and without AR support differ from traditional digitally supported learning environments in terms of learning achievement. In this process, the analysis of the relationship between the perception of efficacy and motivation related to the learning content and the learning performance to measure the pure effect of the variables was the objective of another study. The study was conducted with the static group comparison design, which is among the weak experimental designs. The study group consisted of 109 pre-service teachers. Gain score test, academic motivation scale for learning information technology and perceived information and communication technologies (ICT) proficiency scale for pre-service teachers were used as data collection tools. Within the scope of the study, in-class implementations lasted for a total of eight weeks with each lasting for three hours. The ANOVA results indicated a statistically significant difference in favor of the AR-supported FL learning environment compared to the traditional digitally supported learning environment in terms of gains scores showing the pretest-posttest difference. In addition, no significant relationship was observed between perceived information technology proficiency and motivation status and gain scores. In this context, it can be suggested that the creation of AR supported FL environments from suitable content situations in learning performance.

ARGUS: Visualization of AI-Assisted Task Guidance in AR.

The concept of augmented reality (AR) assistants has captured the human imagination for decades, becoming a staple of modern science fiction. To pursue this goal, it is necessary to develop artificial intelligence (AI)-based methods that simultaneously perceive the 3D environment, reason about physical tasks, and model the performer, all in real-time. Within this framework, a wide variety of sensors are needed to generate data across different modalities, such as audio, video, depth, speech, and time-of-flight. The required sensors are typically part of the AR headset, providing performer sensing and interaction through visual, audio, and haptic feedback. AI assistants not only record the performer as they perform activities, but also require machine learning (ML) models to understand and assist the performer as they interact with the physical world. Therefore, developing such assistants is a challenging task. We propose ARGUS, a visual analytics system to support the development of intelligent AR assistants. Our system was designed as part of a multi-year-long collaboration between visualization researchers and ML and AR experts. This co-design process has led to advances in the visualization of ML in AR. Our system allows for online visualization of object, action, and step detection as well as offline analysis of previously recorded AR sessions. It visualizes not only the multimodal sensor data streams but also the output of the ML models. This allows developers to gain insights into the performer activities as well as the ML models, helping them troubleshoot, improve, and fine-tune the components of the AR assistant.

Creation of a Virtual Tour .Exe Utilizing Very High-Resolution RGB UAV Data

In the last decades, developments in game engine technology led to a raised attraction to the virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) concepts which offer users an interactive synthetic environment. Also, with the travel limitations of the current COVID-19 pandemic, VR tour applications that visualize the geospatial data gained popularity more than ever. In this study, a three-dimensional (3D) VR tour application was created for Gebze Technical University (GTU) Campus by integrating unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) data into an artificial environment by using cross-platform game development engine Unity. For creating high-quality 3D models of the Campus, different imaging geometries and flight altitudes were applied. The aerial photos were achieved with a ground sampling distance (GSD) of ≤2.2 cm with a 20 megapixel (MP) Sony Exmor RGB camera. Point cloud processing and the generation of high-quality 3D products were carried out by structure from motion (SfM) based photogrammetric software Agisoft Metashape. Using 86 well-distributed ground control points (GCPs), geometric correction accuracy of ±2 cm (~0.9 pixels) was reached as root mean square error (RMSE). Generated 3D models were imported into the Unity environment and the negative influence of high polygon data on the application performance was reduced by applying occlusion culling and space subdivision rendering optimization algorithms. The visual potential of the VR was improved by adding 3D individual object models such as trees, benches and arbors. For enhancing the information content of the VR tour, interactive information panels including the building metadata such as building name, block name and total floor area were placed. Finally, a first-person player was implemented for a realistic VR experience.

Extracting a Definition and Taxonomy for Audio Augmented Reality (AAR) Using Grounded Theory

The concept of Augmented Reality (AR) has evolved over the years since its inception in 1957. However, as of today, AR is mostly realized using a visual medium. Almost all applications of AR rely on the user’s ability to see. A few recent works have attempted to explore a new modality for AR–e.g., audio. However, the concept of using audio to augment reality has been considered debatable and there is no specific definition of the concept. To better understand this new concept, we launched a study using Grounded Theory to develop a definition and taxonomy for the concept of Audio Augmented Reality (AAR). This paper shares the preliminary results based on the activities conducted thus far, and hopes to generate discussion on using audio to augment reality within the Human Factors community.
