Evaluating Closed-Loop EEG Feedback for Simulated Prosthetic Vision in Immersive VR: A Sham-Controlled Feasibility Study
Ruyi Cao, Lily M. Turkstra, Adyah Rastogi +1
Visual prostheses require users to interpret sparse and distorted artificial percepts through active visual search. We developed an EEG-guided neuroadaptive training platform for s…
Actionable Guidance Outperforms Map and Compass Cues in Demanding Immersive VR Wayfinding
Apurv Varshney, Lily M. Turkstra, Jiaxin Su +5
Navigation aids are central to immersive virtual reality (VR) experiences that involve physical locomotion. Their effectiveness depends not only on how much spatial information the…
Bionic Vision as Neuroadaptive XR: Closed-Loop Perceptual Interfaces for Neurotechnology
Michael Beyeler
Visual neuroprostheses are commonly framed as technologies to restore natural sight to people who are blind. In practice, they create a novel mode of perception shaped by sparse, d…
Navigating the Last Mile: Evaluating Head- and Cane-Mounted Cameras for Egocentric Spatial Awareness
Apurv Varshney, Lucas Nadolskis, Tobias Höllerer +1
Robust navigational guidance is an important XR application for both sighted and non-sighted populations. In this paper, we mainly focus on blind pedestrians, who continue to face…
Assistive technology use in domestic activities by people who are blind
Lily M. Turkstra, Tanya Bhatia, Alexa Van Os +1
People who are blind employ unique strategies when performing instrumental activities of daily living (iADLs), often relying on multiple sensory modalities and assistive technologi…
