ABSTRACT
Mica is an autonomous, photoreal human character that runs on the Magic Leap One spatial computing platform. The past ten years have seen tremendous improvements in virtual character technology on screen, in film and games. Spatial computing hardware such as Magic Leap One allows us to take the next step: interacting with virtual characters off the screen. We believe that virtual characters who are aware of and can interact directly with users in real-world environments will provide a uniquely compelling experience.

AoEs: enhancing teleportation experience in immersive environment with mid-air haptics
SIGGRAPH '17: ACM SIGGRAPH 2017 Emerging TechnologiesTo alleviate cybersickness in the immersive virtual reality (VR), teleportation is a common method of moving around in virtual spaces. Although users can receive the visual and auditory feedbacks from their first-person perspective with the advances of ...
Haptic around: multiple tactile sensations for immersive environment and interaction in virtual reality
VRST '18: Proceedings of the 24th ACM Symposium on Virtual Reality Software and TechnologyIn this paper, we present Haptic Around, a hybrid-haptic feedback system, which utilizes fan, hot air blower, mist creator and heat light to recreate multiple tactile sensations in virtual reality for enhancing the immersive environment and interaction. ...
A virtual reality keyboard with realistic haptic feedback in a fully immersive virtual environment
This study presents a 3D virtual reality (VR) keyboard system with realistic haptic feedback. The system uses two five-fingered data gloves to track finger positions and postures, uses micro-speakers to create simulated vibrations, and uses a head-...
