Graphics & User Interfaces
The research, done by Steven K. Feiner and Ajoy Fernandes, has application for consumer head-worn VR displays.
In a step toward controlling vibrations, researchers have created an algorithm that automatically optimizes the shape of 2D and 3D objects to control the frequencies and amplitudes of the sounds generated when those objects vibrate.
“Travel in Large-Scale Head-Worn VR” teleports users through virtual environments by allowing them to determine orientation in advance. Another project, “Remote Collaboration in AR and VR Using Virtual Replicas” won a third place finish.
