Abstract

Engineering systems plays a central role in the development of successful Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) applications. Increasing computational resources are utilized to build increasingly complex artificial environments and extensive Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) systems. These types of Realtime Interactive Systems (RIS) establish a closed HCI loop. They are characterized as systems continuously analyzing users' input while concurrently synthesizing appropriate output for several of the human senses in real-time.
