Attentional Bias During a Novel Alcohol Cue Virtual Reality Paradigm

Alcohol Clin Exp Res 2026Attentional bias to alcohol cues is largely investigated using pictorial cues (i.e., two‐dimensional images). The addition of eye‐tracking metrics has improved these investigations yet are limited by a lack of naturalistic cues.

AcuVR: Enhancing Acupuncture Training Workflow with Virtual Reality

arXiv preprint 2024Acupuncture is currently taught with 2D atlases and practice on peers, which is unintuitive and carries real risk in sensitive areas such as the eyes. AcuVR moves that practice into virtual reality, using medical imaging and standardized anatomy models to simulate customized scenarios, and was evaluated with eight acupuncture students and practitioners.

Embodied Exploration - Facilitating Remote Accessibility Assessment for Wheelchair Users with Virtual Reality

ASSETS 2023Assessing accessibility for wheelchair users can be challenging, due to lack of accessibility details needed for individual users. Embodied Exploration is a VR technique to deliver the experience of a physical visit while keeping the convenience of remote assessment. Embodied Exploration allows wheelchair users to explore high-fidelity digital replicas of physical environments with themselves embodied by avatars, leveraging the increasingly affordable VR headsets.

Investigating Input Modality and Task Geometry on Precision–first 3D Drawing in Virtual Reality

ISMAR 2022Study on tracing non-planar 3-D curves in VR shows controllers or stylus pens improve accuracy by about 30 % over bare-hand input, with highest precision on high-curvature paths oriented left-right or forward-backward—insights that guide the design of precise 3-D drawing tools.

Enhanced Ultrasound Systems and Methods

US Patent Application 2020 Systems, devices, and methods are disclosed for an enhanced ultrasound system. A system may include an ultrasound probe. The system may include processing circuitry communicatively coupled to the ultrasound probe.

Interactive Multi-User 3D Visual Analytics in Augmented Reality

Electronic Imaging 2020 This publication reports on a research project in which we set out to explore the advantages and disadvantages augmented reality (AR) technology has for visual data analytics.

PintAR: Sketching Spatial Experiences in Augmented Reality

DIS 2019 In this demo, we present PintAR: an interactive prototyping tool that explores Augmented Reality for the design of interactive spatial experiences. Our system aims to remedy the lack of tools for rapid-prototyping situated experiences in AR without programming or 3D modeling.

SIG: Spatiality of Augmented Reality User Interfaces

CHI EA 2019 Augmented reality and spatial information manipulation is being increasingly used as part of environment integrated form factors and wearable device such as head-mounted displays.

What You Sketch Is What You Get: Quick and Easy Augmented Reality Prototyping with PintAR

CHI EA 2019 Augmented Reality(AR) tools are currently primarily targeted at programmers, making designing for AR challenging and time-consuming.

HoloCPR: Designing and Evaluating a Mixed Reality Interface for Time-Critical Emergencies

PervasiveHealth 2018 Performing time-critical procedures such as Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) usually requires trained individuals on the scene. Even when step by step instructions are available, most bystanders do not attempt resuscitation due to panic or fear of failing, often at the cost of the victim's life.
