ABSTRACT
VITA (Visual Interaction Tool for Archaeology) is an experimental collaborative mixed reality system for offsite visualization of an archaeological dig. Our demonstration of VITA allows multiple users to visualize the dig site in a mixed reality environment in which tracked, see-through, head-worn displays are combined with a multi-user, multi-touch, projected table surface, a large screen display, and tracked hand-held displays. VITA augments existing archaeological analysis methods with new ways to organize, visualize, and combine the standard 2D information available from an excavation (drawings, pictures, and notes) with textured, laser range-scanned 3D models of objects and the site itself. Users can combine speech, touch, and 3D hand gestures to interact multimodally with the environment.

Multimodal augmented reality: the norm rather than the exception
MVAR '16: Proceedings of the 2016 workshop on Multimodal Virtual and Augmented RealityAugmented reality (AR) is commonly seen as a technology that overlays virtual imagery onto a participant's view of the world. In line with this, most AR research is focused on what we see. In this paper, we challenge this focus on vision and make a case ...
Physical-Digital Privacy Interfaces for Mixed Reality Collaboration: An Exploratory Study
ISS '16: Proceedings of the 2016 ACM International Conference on Interactive Surfaces and SpacesWe present a study exploring privacy behaviours in mixed reality collaborative environments. We consider two scenarios involving hiding and sharing blended physical-virtual documents around a tabletop, under two vertical display conditions: a solo ...
