ABSTRACT
Lag in network technology prevents absolute synchronization of distributed Virtual Environments (VEs); our experience of them is in this sense inherently subjective. We describe how subjectivity of this kind provides a means of enabling coherent shared experience in a VE, and present an architecture based on this.

Perceived Egocentric Distances in Real, Image-Based, and Traditional Virtual Environments
VR '02: Proceedings of the IEEE Virtual Reality Conference 2002In virtual environments, perceived egocentric distances are consistently underestimated when compared to the same distance judgments in the real world. The research presented in this paper explores two possible causes for the compressed distance ...
Enabling Reusable Haptic Props for Virtual Reality by Hand Displacement
MuC '21: Proceedings of Mensch und Computer 2021Virtual Reality (VR) enables compelling visual experiences. However, providing haptic feedback is still challenging. Previous work suggests utilizing haptic props to overcome such limitations and presents evidence that props could function as a single ...
Harmonize: a shared environment for extended immersive entertainment
AbstractVirtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) applications are very diffuse nowadays. Moreover, recent technology innovations led to the diffusion of commercial head-mounted displays for immersive VR: users can enjoy entertainment activities ...
