Received: 30 October 2020; Accepted: 5 December 2020; Published: 10 December 2020 Abstract: Recently, the use of extended reality (XR) systems has been on the rise, to tackle various domains such as training, education, safety, etc. With the recent advances in augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR) technologies and ease of availability of high-end, commercially available hardware, the manufacturing industry has seen a rise in the use of advanced XR technologies to train its workforce. While several research publications exist on applications of XR in manufacturing training, a comprehensive review of recent works and applications is lacking to present a clear progress in using such advance technologies. To this end, we present a review of the current state-of-the-art of use of XR technologies in training personnel in the field of manufacturing. First, we put forth the need of XR in manufacturing. We then present several key application domains where XR is being currently applied, notably in maintenance training and in performing assembly task.

In this context, museums have already embraced new technologies as part of their exhibitions, many of them featuring augmented or virtual reality artifacts. The presented work proposes the synthesis of augmented, virtual and mixed reality technologies to provide unified X-Reality experiences in realistic virtual museums, engaging visitors in an interactive and seamless fusion of physical and virtual worlds that will feature virtual agents exhibiting naturalistic behavior. Visitors will be able to interact with the virtual agents, as they would with real world counterparts. The envisioned approach is expected to not only provide refined experiences for museum visitors, but also achieve high quality entertainment combined with more effective knowledge acquisition. Keywords: extended reality; diminished reality; true mediated reality; augmented reality; virtual reality; natural multimodal interaction; unified user experiences; interactive museum exhibits Citation: Margetis, G.; Apostolakis, K.C.; Ntoa, S.; Papagiannakis, G.; Stephanidis, C.

Today, in the 9th iteration of the series, we focus on the Metaverse and Digital Realities. I am Yongtaek Hong, a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Seoul National University. I am particularly excited to moderate today’s webinar with the leading experts and scholars on the metaverse, a buzzword that has especially gained momentum during the online-everything shift of the pandemic. Today, we have Dr. Michael Kass and Dr. Douglas Lanman joining us from the United States. And we have Professor Byoungho Lee and Professor Woontack Woo joining us from Korea. Now, I will introduce you to our opening Plenary Speaker. Dr. Michael Kass is a senior distinguished engineer at NVIDIA and the overall software architect of NVIDIA Omniverse, NVIDIA’s platform and pipeline for collaborative 3D content creation based on USD. He is also the recipient of distinguished awards, including the 2005 Scientific and Technical Academy Award and the 2009 SIGGRAPH Computer Graphics Achievement Award. Plenary Session Michael KASS: So, my name is Michael Kass. I'm a distinguished engineer from NVIDIA. And today we'll be talking about NVIDIA's view of the metaverse and how we need an open metaverse. And we believe that the core of that metaverse should be USD, Pixar's Universal Theme Description. Now, I don't think I have to really do much to introduce the metaverse to this group, but the original name goes back to Neal Stephenson's novel Snow Crash in 1992, and the original idea probably goes back further.

  • Preprint a Conceptual Model of Immersive Experience H Lee 2020
    Preprint: A Conceptual Model of Immersive Experience in Extended Reality DOI:10.31234/osf.io/sefkh A Conceptual Model of Immersive Experience in Extended Reality Hyunkook Lee ([email protected]) Applied Psychoacoustics Lab (APL), University of Huddersfield, HD1 3DH, UK. ABSTRACT The term immersion or immersive is popularly used when describing and evaluating technologies in the area of extended reality (i.e., virtual/augmented/mixed reality). Much research has been conducted on immersion over the last few decades. However, there is still a lack of consistency in how the term is defined in the literature. Presence and involvement are other prominent concepts studied in the field of extended reality. However, there is currently no consensus on their relationship with immersion among researchers. This paper first discusses different dimensions of immersion as well as those of presence and involvement, aiming to resolve potential confusion around the terms and synthesise a relationship among them. From this, a new conceptual model of immersive experience for future studies in extended reality is proposed. The model defines physical presence, social/self presence and involvement as the main high-level attributes that collectively lead to an immersive experience. Each pair of the three attributes shares a common lower-level attribute of sensory, narrative or task/motor engagement, which is an initial step towards the higher-level experience. Plausibility, interactivity and interestingness are defined as the main properties of immersive system

  • Immersive Multimedia for Extended Reality
    Immersive Multimedia for Extended Reality Important dates Paper submission: 10th of May 14th of June, 2020 -- EXTENDED Notification of paper acceptance: 27th of July, 2020 Camera ready paper due: 16th of August, 2020 Conference: 21st – 23rd of September, 2020 Scope and topics One current big technology trend is Immersive Multimedia (IM), which includes 360-degree video, up to six degrees of freedom, spatial audio, interactivity, multi-sensory processing (vision, hearing, tactile, olfaction, and gustatory) among the others. User experiences range from Virtual Reality (VR) where the content becomes reality for the user, to Mixed Reality (MR) to Augmented Reality (AR) where the content is blended into the real world of the user. The wide spectrum of these experiences is often referred to as Extended Reality (XR). The application of immersive multimedia technologies for extended reality experiences is abbreviated as IMXR. The combination of several heterogeneous IMXR technologies poses several challenges. For example, IMXR experiences are more critical to delay and synchronization, and generally demand more resources from end devices and within the system (CPU, GPU, storage and network bandwidth). As a consequence, there are numerous open issues in the whole delivery pipeline from capture to rendering, including processing of a multitude of sensor information (audio, video, haptics, motion, location, etc.), streaming and visualizing different IMXR streams. Measuring the QoE of such new applications and services is also a totally new territory. In this session, we would like to discuss those issues, connecting a broad and interdisciplinary field of research areas, including signal processing, transport protocols, streaming, architectures, standardization, quality of experience and applications from a range of domains, including entertainment, industry and others.

  • Xrmas: Extended Reality Multi-Agency Spaces for a Magical
    XRmas: Extended Reality Multi-Agency Spaces for a Magical Remote Christmas YAYING ZHANG1, BRENNAN JONES2, SEAN RINTEL3, CARMAN NEUSTAEDTER4 1Microsoft Corporation, 2University of Calgary, 3Microsoft Research Cambridge, 4Simon Fraser University [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Figure 1: XRmas overview. The COVID-19 pandemic has raised attention toward remote and hybrid communications. Currently, one highly-studied solution lets a remote user use virtual reality (VR) to enter an immersive view of a local space, and local users use augmented reality (AR) to see the remote user’s representation and digital contents. Such systems give the remote user a sense of ‘being there’, but we identify two more challenges to address. First, current systems provide remote users with limited agency to control objects and influence the local space. It is necessary to further explore the relationship between users, virtual objects, and physical objects, and how they can play a role in providing richer agency. Second, current systems often try to replicate in-person experiences, but hardly surpass them. We propose XRmas: an AR/VR telepresence system that (1) provides a multi-agency space that allows a remote user to manipulate both virtual and physical objects in a local space, and (2) introduces three family activities in a Christmas context that adopt holographic animation effects to create a ‘magical’ experience that takes users beyond merely the feeling of ‘being there’. We report on preliminary insights from the use of such a system in a remote family communication context. 1 INTRODUCTION The COVID-19 pandemic has raised attention toward remote communication, and there has been increasing interest in adopting augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) in telecommunications.
