A Piecewise Approach to Mapping Interactions between Room-scale Environments in Remote Mixed/Augmented Reality
Akshith Ullal, Nilanjan Sarkar · 2023
Naturalistic interactions from remote settings require the user to have the ability to move and interact with their environment. However, a direct mapping of the interactions onto their photorealistic avatars will cause errors, primarily due to the different spatial configurations between the environments. Hence, the interactions need to be redirected, naturalistically. This redirection is a computationally intensive process and current techniques can only be used for localized spaces. We propose a piecewise approach, where the interaction mapping is split into a 2D locomotion and a 3D gesture redirection mechanism, reducing the computational requirement and making it applicable to room-scale environments.
