Feigl T., Mutschler C., Philippsen M., Kõre E.:In: Proceedings of the ACM Symposium on Virtual Reality Software and Technology (VRST), Gothenburg, Sweden, 2017. Redirected Walking (RDW) manipulates a scene that is displayed to VR users so that they unknowingly compensate for scene motion and can thus explore a large virtual world on a limited space. So far, mostly visual manipulation techniques have been studied.This paper shows that users can also be manipulated by means of acoustical signals. In an experiment with a dynamically moving audio source we see deviations of up to 30% from a 20 m long straight-line walk for male participants and of up…

Roth D., Kleinbeck C., Feigl T., Mutschler C., Latoschik M. E.In: Proceedings of the International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality (ISMAR) 2017.This work in progress report demonstrates a novel approach for behavioral augmentations in Virtual Reality (VR). Using a large scale tracking system, groups of five users explored a virtual museum. We investigated how augmenting social interactions impacts this experience, by designing behavioral transformations for behavioral phenomena in social interactions. Preliminary data indicate a reduction of perceived isolation, and a more thought-provoking experience with active behavioral augmentations.DOI: 10.1109/ISMAR-Adjunct.2017.28URL: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8088445/BibTeX: Download
