“…Inspired in part by a review of previous work at IMX around virtual reality and multi-sensory experiences which uncovered work on video journalism [6,28], haptic feedback [1,15], and engaging with suspenseful narratives in VR and 360°video [34], in the following sections we present design for contexts outside mixedreality performances. We propose three diferent experiences and scenarios from the felds of non-fction virtual reality experiences, mixed media interactive narratives, and to educational purposes.…”

“…Inspired by the research into adding haptic feedback to media presentations [1] and social VR settings [15], we iterated on designs that connected the haptic feedback presented to the user and built Some of the most advanced haptic feedback systems in use are those developed for the training of physical skills in situations where there is risk, either to the subject of the manipulations or the manipulator, due to inexperience of the trainee. In the rendering of articulated simulacra of physical bodies, such as the training apparatus developed to give veterinary students the tactile experience of reaching inside a horse [8] or a cow [3] to aid in the identifcation and diagnosis of physical ailments, there is an understandable goal of a realistic physical experience through the movement of certain parts of the object.…”

This paper presents Fractured Objects for the design of virtual and mixed-reality experiences. Drawing on the qualitative analysis of three weeks of artistic activities within a residency program, we present six types of Fractured Objects that were used in sketching a mixed-reality performance. Building on these Fractured Objects, as they were articulated by the artists, we present speculative designs for their use in scenarios inspired by research within the IMX community. In discussion, we look to expand the concept of Fractured Objects by relating it to other design concepts such as Seamful Design and Wabi-Sabi, and explore the relationship to the temporality of interaction. We introduce Kintsugi VR with Fractured Objects, drawing on the concept of 'golden repair' in which the act of reconnecting fractured parts improves the resulting whole object.

“…The registering and aligning of the two sensors are done via the help of a large ArUco 14 marker (30 30 ) and pose matching. This results in a near 180 • 3D representation of the user (front view), from the RGB-D frame pairs [16]. The calibration parameters from the rigid body transformation are sent as metadata together with the RGB-D visual data.…”

Incorporating the sense of touch through haptics in virtual spaces enables people to communicate emotions and engage in more naturalistic and meaningful social interactions. Advances in haptics and virtual reality technologies and applications have been essential to support researchers in the exploration of mediated social touch in virtual environments. The aim of this work is to review the last decade of research on haptics and virtual reality technologies investigating social touch behavior between human avatars as well as between humans and non-human virtual agents. Our systematic review organizes the variety of the conducted research in three dimensions: the context against which mediated social touch is studied, the types of haptics and virtual reality technology used, and empirical studies including data collected and outcome measures. We discuss the results of the analysis of the three dimensions and present implications for future research. We pinpoint the importance of considering in-the-wild studies and emerging issues on social virtual reality; understanding human touch perception for people with different physical and cognitive abilities, and; creating development tools to broaden the exploration of advanced technological setups.
