Abstract

We present a new, physically plausible, real-time approach to compute directional occlusion for dynamic objects, lit with image based lighting. For this, we partition the hemisphere into multiple sectors and pre-convolve these into separate irradiance maps. At runtime the contributions of each sector are then individually occluded and summed together.

Immersive Exploration of OSGi-based Software Systems in Virtual Reality

We present an approach for exploring OSGi-based software systems in virtual reality. We employ an island metaphor, which represents every module as a distinct island. The resulting island system is displayed in the confines of a virtual table, where users can explore the software visualization on multiple levels of granularity by performing intuitive navigational tasks. Our approach allows users to get a first overview about the complexity of an OSGi-based software system by interactively exploring its modules as well as the dependencies between them.

An Evaluation of Smartphone-Based Interaction in AR for Constrained Object Manipulation

An Evaluation of Smartphone-Based Interaction in AR for Constrained Object Manipulation

In Augmented Reality, interaction with the environment can be achieved with a number of different approaches. In current systems, the most common are hand and gesture inputs. However experimental applications also integrated smartphones as intuitive interaction devices and demonstrated great potential for different tasks. One particular task is constrained object manipulation, for which we conducted a user study. In it we compared standard gesture-based approaches with a touch-based interaction via smartphone. We found that a touch-based interface is significantly more efficient, although gestures are being subjectively more accepted. From these results we draw conclusions on how smartphones can be used to realize modern interfaces in AR.
