ABSTRACT
Open offices, despite their tangible advantages, are challenging for autistic individuals due to continuous visual and social interruptions. In order to filter out these distractions and enhance autistics' attention and communication with their coworkers, here we introduce the mediated reality mirror (MRM) concept deriving from the inspiring developments in diminished and augmented reality. We conducted two bodystorming workshops and interviews with 14 non-autistic participants in order to inform the design process of MRM and our future studies with autistics which is a one shot opportunity. In this paper we present the outcomes of the workshops and the interviews as well as their contributions to our future studies with autistic users of MRM.

Perceived weight of a rod under augmented and diminished reality visual effects
VRST '18: Proceedings of the 24th ACM Symposium on Virtual Reality Software and TechnologyWe can use augmented reality (AR) and diminished reality (DR) in combination, in practice. However, to the best of our knowledge, there is no research on the validation of the cross-modal effects in AR and DR. Our research interest here is to ...
