In this paper, we explore how a familiarly shaped object can serve as a physical proxy to
manipulate virtual objects in Augmented Reality (AR) environments. Using the example of a …

Recent developments in the commercialization of virtual reality open up many opportunities
for enhancing human interaction with three-dimensional objects and visualizations …

Avatars, the users' virtual representations, are becoming ubiquitous in virtual reality
applications. In this context, the avatar becomes the medium which enables users to …

Smartphone augmented reality (AR) lets users interact with physical and virtual spaces
simultaneously. With 3D hand tracking, smartphones become apparatus to grab and move …

Exploring and manipulating complex virtual objects is challenging due to limitations of
conventional controllers and free-hand interaction techniques. We present the TanGi toolkit …

Utilizing everyday objects as tangible proxies for Augmented Reality (AR) provides users
with haptic feedback while interacting with virtual objects. Yet, existing methods focus on the …

The effectiveness of Augmented Reality (AR) for spatial applications is likely influenced by
the extent to which users perceive that they can act on virtual objects as if they are real …

We rely on our sight when manipulating objects. When objects are occluded, manipulation
becomes difficult. Such occluded objects can be shown via augmented reality to re-enable …

There are many situations in which physical interaction with real-world objects is not
possible--for example, museums contain many objects or artefacts which are too fragile or …

Edges are one of the most ubiquitous geometric features of physical objects. They provide
accurate haptic feedback and easy-to-track features for camera systems, making them an …
