“…With developments that make them more precise and less cumbersome to use, they may become a part of the future wearables. Gaze-based interaction is also an 'almost viable' possibility in XR, based on eye tracking [115], or head tracking (i.e., head gaze) [116]. Eye tracking devices supported by near-infrared sensors work well, and webcam-based eye tracking is improving [117,118].…”

This manuscript identifies and documents unsolved problems and research challenges in the extended reality (XR) domain (i.e., virtual (VR), augmented (AR), and mixed reality (MR)). The manuscript is structured to include technology, design, and human factor perspectives. The text is visualization/display-focused, that is, other modalities such as audio, haptic, smell, and touch, while important for XR, are beyond the scope of this paper. We further narrow our focus to mainly geospatial research, with necessary deviations to other domains where these technologies are widely researched. The main objective of the study is to provide an overview of broader research challenges and directions in XR, especially in spatial sciences. Aside from the research challenges identified based on a comprehensive literature review, we provide case studies with original results from our own studies in each section as examples to demonstrate the relevance of the challenges in the current research. We believe that this paper will be of relevance to anyone who has scientific interest in extended reality, and/or uses these systems in their research.

“…For simulation of deformed hand a penalty method is used and implemented in a proposition [5]. Head gaze interaction approach experimented on numerous volunteers which shows the effectiveness of the proposed approach [6]. Another paper proposes a gaze detection based on deep learning techniques [7].…”

Virtual Reality is an emerging breed in technology. It is gaining an increasing amount of interest and considerable work is being done on it recently. A virtual environment without any user interaction can quickly lose users' interest. To make virtual environment more captivating, user interaction with virtual world is important. The paper reviews recent technologies and methods of human-computer interaction in the virtual environment. First a thorough examination of recent work done on different ways of interacting with virtual environment was carried out. Based on this review a variety of virtual reality interaction techniques were identified and then categorized into four major categories namely, haptic devices, gesture recognition, brain-computer interface, and gaze-based interaction. These techniques were evaluated against certain predefined parameter. An extensive analysis of the different techniques and their literature has led to a consolidated review that is presented in this paper.

“…For the three agents that had a visual representation, we looked at the number of times participants gazed at the agent (Figure 5d), as well as the duration of each gaze (Figure 5e). Gaze was estimated using head orientation based on the HoloLens headset, similar to in VR systems [7]. We determined gaze by seeing if the agent or agent's face was visible on screen.…”

Prior work has shown that embodiment can benefit virtual agents, such as increasing rapport and conveying nonverbal information. However, it is unclear if users prefer an embodied to a speech-only agent for augmented reality (AR) headsets that are designed to assist users in completing real-world tasks. We conducted a study to examine users' perceptions and behaviors when interacting with virtual agents in AR. We asked 24 adults to wear the Microsoft HoloLens and find objects in a hidden object game while interacting with an agent that would offer assistance. We presented participants with four different agents: voice-only, non-human, full-size embodied, and a miniature embodied agent. Overall, users preferred the miniature embodied agent due to the novelty of his size and reduced uncanniness as opposed to the larger agent. From our results, we draw conclusions about how agent representation matters and derive guidelines on designing agents for AR headsets.
