“…In this work, we propose strategies to enable HMD immersed users to be aware of people in their physical environment without compromising their presence in the virtual space. We tackle this problem by using the concept of proxemics-based interactions and gradual engagement [10,45], which provides a framework of people's relationship with their space and other people considering different proxemic variables. In our specific scenario, more importance is given to people that are closer to the immersed user and may influence or affects their presence, while users located far away are still made aware but without the same importance as the ones closely located.…”

“…Furthermore, Hall describes that interpersonal relationships are enacted through proxemic zones (intimate, personal, social, and public interactions). And current research suggests that proxemics help mediate interactions between people and devices for human-to-human or human-to-device interactions [1,3,9,10,17,29]. Marquardt et al [28] generalized cross-device information transfers by proposing the gradual engagement design pattern.…”

Head-Mounted Virtual reality (VR) systems provide full-immersive experiences to users and completely isolate them from the outside world, placing them in unsafe situations. Existing research proposed different alert-based solutions to address this. Our work builds on these studies on notification systems for VR environments from a different perspective. We focus on: (i) exploring alert systems to notify VR users about non-immersed bystanders' in socially related, non-critical interaction contexts; (ii) understanding how best to provide awareness of non-immersed bystanders while maintaining presence and immersion within the Virtual Environment(VE). To this end, we developed single and combined alert cues -leveraging proxemics, perception channels, and push/pull approaches and evaluated those via two user studies. Our findings indicate a strong preference towards maintaining immersion and combining audio and visual cues, push and pull notification techniques that evolve dynamically based on proximity.

“…Such transitions may then manifest more significantly in people's spatial re-organization, as shown by Møller et al in their study of collaborative ideation with physical and digital sticky notes [32]. While we have focused on proxemic transitions in the creativity domain, such transitions are not confined to these practices, but can also be found in, for instance, collaboration in a learning context [18], during surgery [50,49] or sense making [28,5,69].…”

“…The increasing embedding of computing in our physical environments (e.g. interactive tabletops and mobile spatially aware computing) has spurred an interest in concepts and frameworks that allow for articulating spatial collaboration and social interaction while considering the complex interplay between the environment, technologies, and co-located people [13,14,29,35,45]. For example, proxemics is increasingly influential in the field of HCI research [2,13,29,35], as we elaborate in the following section.…”

Augmented Reality (AR) has shown great potential for supporting co-located collaboration. Yet, it is rarely articulated in the design rationales of AR systems that they promote a certain socio-spatial configuration of the users. Learning from proxemics, we argue that such configurations enable and constrain different co-located spatial behaviors with consequences for collaborative activities. We focus specifically on enabling different collaboration styles via the design of Handheld Collaborative Augmented Reality (HCAR) systems. Drawing upon notions of proxemics, we show how different HCAR designs enable different socio-spatial configurations. Through a design exploration, we demonstrate interaction techniques to expand on the notion of collaborative coupling styles by either deliberately designing for aligning with physical reality or going beyond. The main contributions are a proxemics-based conceptual lens and vocabulary for supporting interaction designers in being mindful of the proxemic consequences when developing handheld multi-user AR systems.
