What is it about?
Join our
Hands-On Studio on prototyping tangible interaction in
Extended Reality (XR) @ TEI 2023
in Warsaw. We will showcase a tangible manikin from the
EU Horizon Project
Med1stMR
which uses chroma-key, the Varjo XR-3 Headset and enables the
use of real tools in Mixed Reality. With tools and
equipment provided by us you will be able to prototype your
ideas and usecases for tangible XR in four teams. We will
discuss current best practises, opportunities and limitations
of the technology, with a special focus on the evaluation of
tangible XR. The developed prototypes and the outcomes of this
studio are aimed to additionally result in a position paper,
discussing the future of tangible XR.
Studio Abstract: Tangible devices and interaction in Extended Reality (XR) increase immersion and enable users to perform tasks more intuitively, accurately and joyfully across the reality-virtuality continuum. However, upon reviewing the literature, we noticed no clear trend for a publication venue, as well as no standard in evaluating the effects of tangible XR. To position the topic of tangible XR in the TEI community, we propose a hands-on studio, where participants will bring in their own ideas for tangible XR from their application fields, and develop prototypes with the cutting-edge technology and a selection of virtual assets provided. Additionally, we will collectively reflect upon evaluation methods on tangible XR, and aim to find a consensus of a core evaluation suite. With this, we aim to foster a practical understanding and spark new developments in tangible XR and its use cases within the TEI community.
The TEI’23 takes place February 26 – March 1, 2023 in Warsaw, Poland in the University of Warsaw Library and the Copernicus Science Centre.
