Abstract

Our field and the world have changed greatly in the ten years since the first VRST was held in Singapore in 1994. Computers have grown smaller, faster, and cheaper, while polygon counts, frame rates, and display resolutions have increased impressively, true to the promise of Moore's Law. But, what comes next?This talk will sketch some of the directions in which I feel virtual reality is (or should be) heading. I will discuss the potential for taking virtual reality outside, through wearable and mobile computing; for bring the outside in, by capturing the real world; and for accommodating large numbers of displays, users, and tasks, by embedding them in a fluid and collaborative augmented environment.

VR Grabbers: Ungrounded Haptic Retargeting for Precision Grabbing Tools
UIST '18: Proceedings of the 31st Annual ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology

Haptic feedback in VR is important for realistic simulation in virtual reality. However, recreating the haptic experience for hand tools in VR traditionally requires hardware with precise actuators, adding complexity to the system. We propose Ungrounded ...
