Exploring Bichronous Collaboration in Virtual Environments
Alexander Giovannelli, Shakiba Davari, Cherelle Connor +7
Virtual environments (VEs) empower geographically distributed teams to collaborate on a shared project regardless of time. Existing research has separately investigated collaborati…
Exploring Multiscale Navigation of Homogeneous and Dense Objects with Progressive Refinement in Virtual Reality
Leonardo Pavanatto, Alexander Giovannelli, Brian Giera +3
Locating small features in a large, dense object in virtual reality (VR) poses a significant interaction challenge. While existing multiscale techniques support transitions between…
Exploring the Effects of Level of Control in the Initialization of Shared Whiteboarding Sessions in Collaborative Augmented Reality
Logan Lane, Jerald Thomas, Alexander Giovannelli +2
Augmented Reality (AR) collaboration can benefit from a shared 2D surface, such as a whiteboard. However, many features of each collaborators physical environment must be considere…
Planet Purifiers: A Collaborative Immersive Experience Proposing New Modifications to HOMER and Fishing Reel Interaction Techniques
Alexander Giovannelli, Fionn Murphy, Trey Davis +6
This paper presents our solution to the 2025 3DUI Contest challenge. We aimed to develop a collaborative, immersive experience that raises awareness about trash pollution in natura…
Investigating the Influence of Playback Interactivity during Guided Tours for Asynchronous Collaboration in Virtual Reality
Alexander Giovannelli, Leonardo Pavanatto, Shakiba Davari +5
Collaborative virtual environments allow workers to contribute to team projects across space and time. While much research has closely examined the problem of working in different…
Spatial Bar: Exploring Window Switching Techniques for Large Virtual Displays
Leonardo Pavanatto, Jens Grubert, Doug Bowman
Virtual displays provided through head-worn displays (HWDs) offer users large screen space for productivity, but managing this space effectively presents challenges. This paper exp…
