However, it faces several limitations, mainly due to hardware constraints and limitations engendered by the stimulation needed by the BCI. The main restriction is still the low transfer rate that can be achieved by current BCI technology, preventing movement while using VR. The goal of this paper is to review current limitations and to provide application creators with design recommendations to overcome them, thus significantly reducing the development time and making the domain of BCI more accessible to developers. We review the design of video games from the perspective of BCI and VR with the objective of enhancing the user experience. An essential recommendation is to use the BCI only for non-complex and non-critical tasks in the game. Also, the BCI should be used to control actions that are naturally integrated into the virtual world. Finally, adventure and simulation games, especially if cooperative (multi-user), appear to be the best candidates for designing an effective VR game enriched by BCI technology.

This project examines some issues common to developing games in general, like the uncanny valley, as well as those specific to VR, such as virtual reality sickness. A number of commercially and critically successful games are then examined to identify the factors that contribute to their success. Some of these factors are then applied in the creation of an entirely new VR game, impacting the game in areas of game mechanics, visual elements, and overall genre. This game aims to create an innovative style of play using game mechanics that rely on the movement of VR controllers, as opposed to controlling with button pressing, to take full advantage of the immersive nature of VR. ii Acknowledgements Firstly I would like to thank my mentor Tyler Brownlow-Calkin for his help throughout the entire process and his enthusiasm for my project.

Abstract Temporal IK: Data-Driven Pose Estimation for Virtual Reality by James Lin Master of Science in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science in University of California, Berkeley Professor James O'Brien, Chair High-quality human avatars are an important part of compelling virtual reality (VR) experiences. Animating an avatar to match the movement of its user, however, is a funda- mentally difficult task, as most VR systems only track the user's head and hands, leaving the rest of the body undetermined. In this report, we introduce Temporal IK, a data-driven approach to predicting full-body poses from standard VR headset and controller inputs. We describe a recurrent neural network that, when given a sequence of positions and rotations from VR tracked objects, predicts the corresponding full-body poses in a manner that ex- ploits the temporal consistency of human motion.

  • AR/VR Innovation Report August 2018
    AR/VR Innovation Report August 2018 Presented by xrdconf.com AR/VR Innovation Report | August 2018 Register for XRDC 2018 1 AR/VR Innovation Report August 2018 elcome to the third annual 2018 XRDC AR/VR Innovation Report. WThe data in this report was gathered from surveying over 650 professionals involved in the development of augmented, virtual, and mixed reality experiences. The wealth of data it contains is intended to offer up useful insight into a rapidly growing and diverse industry. Notable findings from this research include a rising tide of self-funded AR/VR/MR development, a continued focus on the HTC Vive as the most common platform of choice, and increasing confidence in the profitability of the AR/VR/MR market. Survey respondents also shared some of their favorite AR/VR/MR experiences, like Beat Saber and Lone Echo, as well as their excitement for the debut of the Magic Leap One headset. This data was collected, organized and presented by the UBM Game Network, which runs the XRDC as well as the Game Developers Conference (GDC) and Gamasutra.com. XRDC will take place October 29-30, 2018 and will bring together creators of immersive experiences of all kinds—including groundbreaking work for games, education, entertainment, healthcare, medicine, training, automotive, sports, UX, data visualization, brand experience, and more. AR/VR Innovation Report | August 2018 Register for XRDC 2018 2 MOST AR/VR/MR DEVELOPERS ARE STILL FOCUSED ON MAKING GAMES To get a better sense of where AR/VR/MR professionals’ interests lie, we asked them to tell us what sort of experiences they’re currently focused on creating.

  • Directions for 3D User Interface Research from Consumer VR Games
    DIRECTIONS FOR 3D USER INTERFACE RESEARCH FROM CONSUMER VR GAMES Anthony Steed Tuukka M. Takala Daniel Archer Department of Computer Science Aalto University Department of Computer Science University College London Waseda University University College London [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Wallace Lages Robert W. Lindeman School of Visual Arts HIT Lab NZ Virginia Tech University of Canterbury [email protected] [email protected] June 25, 2021 ABSTRACT With the continuing development of affordable immersive virtual reality (VR) systems, there is now a growing market for consumer content. The current form of consumer systems is not dissimilar to the lab-based VR systems of the past 30 years: the primary input mechanism is a head-tracked display and one or two tracked hands with buttons and joysticks on hand-held controllers. Over those 30 years, a very diverse academic literature has emerged that covers design and ergonomics of 3D user interfaces (3DUIs). However, the growing consumer market has engaged a very broad range of creatives that have built a very diverse set of designs. Sometimes these designs adopt findings from the academic literature, but other times they experiment with completely novel or counter-intuitive mechanisms. In this paper and its online adjunct, we report on novel 3DUI design patterns that are interesting from both design and research perspectives: they are highly novel, potentially broadly re-usable and/or suggest interesting avenues for evaluation. The supplemental material, which is a living document, is a crowd-sourced repository of interesting patterns. This paper is a curated snapshot of those patterns that were considered to be the most fruitful for further elaboration.
