First, let me explain my initial motivation to UIST (skip this if you felt boring 🙂 I just keep it as a memory. The first time I learnt about HCI is when I was conducting a student research project, EyeControl, in…
Lessons learnt from VRSurus: A Tangible Virtual Reality Game Project
Lessons learnt from a live demo of VRSurus at UIST 2015. Introduction: We introduce VRSurus, a tangible serious game that aims to inspire children to protect the environment in immersive virtual reality (VR). VRSurus is built upon a physical puppet and a VR head-mounted display (Oculus Rift DK2) to create “tangible virtual animatronics”. The player will…
