ABSTRACT
WoBo (World in a Box) aims to provide a new experience for travellers, allowing them to visit distant or hardly reachable places through the exploitation of consumer cameras and a head mounted display. The experience consists in watching a 360-degrees video with 3D audio in a dedicated cabin. The user can select videos shot in different places, which have been created with six consumer cameras. We describe the proposed experience, the hardware and the software used for a first prototype.

Negative Effects Associated with HMDs in Augmented and Virtual Reality
Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality. Design and InteractionAbstractHead mounted displays (HMD) are becoming ubiquitous. Simulator sickness has been an issue since the first simulators and HMDs were created. As computational power and display capabilities increase, so does their utilization in technologies such as ...
Analyzing the effect of a virtual avatar's geometric and motion fidelity on ego-centric spatial perception in immersive virtual environments
VRST '09: Proceedings of the 16th ACM Symposium on Virtual Reality Software and TechnologyPrevious work has shown that giving a user a first-person virtual avatar can increase the accuracy of their egocentric distance judgments in an immersive virtual environment (IVE). This result provides one of the rare examples of a manipulation that can ...
