“…The exocentric view can improve the operator's understanding of the environment and further increase safety and task performance. Additionally, concepts of switching between ego-and exocentric views is discussed by Baudisch et al (2002), whereas Ferland et al (2009) suggest to switch between egocentric and exocentric views for robot teleoperation. Following the overview-and detail paradigm, their overall goal is to improve task performance by providing information details on demand.…”

Exploration of challenging indoor environments is a demanding task. While automation with aerial robots seems a promising solution, fully autonomous systems still struggle with high-level cognitive tasks and intuitive decision making. To facilitate automation, we introduce a novel teleoperation system with an aerial telerobot that is capable of handling all demanding low-level tasks. Motivated by the typical structure of indoor environments, the system creates an interactive scene topology in real-time that reduces scene details and supports affordances. Thus, difficult high-level tasks can be effectively supervised by a human operator. To elaborate on the effectiveness of our system during a real-world exploration mission, we conducted a user study. Despite being limited by real-world constraints, results indicate that our system better supports operators with indoor exploration, compared to a baseline system with traditional joystick control.

“…Some parts of this space have been discussed in large-display literature and previous work on projectorbased systems for example, increasing the amount of space available for working with documents (e.g. [41]), using a peripheral-vision display for context (e.g., Focus plus Context displays [3]; OMNI [6]), or adding game content to a room-based display (e.g., IllumiRoom [20]). In addition to these previous explorations, we have identified three ways in which the characteristics of FCDs can be used to generate novel interfaces and applications.…”

“…Query calls provide access to room configuration and graphical object information stored in the server. 3 Although the sockets API can be accessed directly by client applications using the appropriate JSON payload format, we also provide an additional Python client API library that facilitates the construction and transmission of well-formed JSON calls for those programming in Python. The REST interface provides the same functionality as the sockets API but is more convenient for web-based client application development and might appeal more to programmers that favor web paradigms (DG2, DG3).…”

Full Coverage Displays (FCDs) cover the interior surface of an entire room with pixels. FCDs make possible many new kinds of immersive display experiences -but current technology for building FCDs is expensive and complex, and software support for developing full-coverage applications is limited. To address these problems, we introduce ASPECTA, a hardware configuration and software toolkit that provide a low-cost and easy-to-use solution for creating full coverage systems. We outline ASPECTA's (minimal) hardware requirements and describe the toolkit's architecture, development API, server implementation, and configuration tool; we also provide a full example of how the toolkit can be used. We performed two evaluations of the toolkit: a case study of a research system built with ASPECTA, and a laboratory study that tested the effectiveness of the API. Our evaluations, as well as multiple examples of ASPECTA in use, show how ASPECTA can simplify configuration and development while still dramatically reducing the cost for creators of applications that take advantage of full-coverage displays.

“…If the information items are not close in either respect, then they are displayed as their visual score dictates. The GVA algorithm's presentation method is similar in concept to the Focus plus Context visualization technique (Baudisch, Good, Bellotti, & Schraedley, 2002). The Focus plus Context visualization has two screen areas: a focus area where information is presented in high details, and a surrounding context area where information is presented in fewer details.…”

Emergency incident response, including Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive (CBRNE) a.k.a. weapons of mass destruction incidents, is evolving from a response involving humans with equipment to a response system combining humans and thinking machines (e.g. robots). The robots, along with possibly other deployed sensors, will generate and capture volumes of information that will be presented in directable visualizations. This paper presents a novel approach to performing information abstraction (i.e., selection and grouping) and determining how each information item should be presented (i.e., its shape) in directable visualizations. This new approach employs the General Visualization Abstraction (GVA) algorithm to make salient and direct attention to the most relevant information items by determining an importance value for each information item based on the item's relationship with two classes of information: historically relevant and currently relevant information, and novel and emerging information.
