Situated VR: Toward a Congruent Hybrid Reality Without Experiential Artifacts
IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications
|June 7, 2022
Summary
Extended reality (XR) systems can cause lingering virtual afterimages, known as experiential artifacts (EAs), disrupting daily life. Situated virtual reality (VR) offers a solution by blending real and virtual elements to reduce these artifacts and enhance presence.
Area of Science:
- Human-computer interaction
- Virtual reality studies
- Extended reality research
Background:
- Extended reality (XR) aims to seamlessly blend real and virtual experiences.
- Virtual reality (VR) use can lead to lingering experiential distortions, termed experiential artifacts (EAs), upon returning to the real world.
- These EAs can cause disruptions in users' daily lives.
Purpose of the Study:
- To define and categorize experiential artifacts (EAs) in virtual reality (VR).
- To investigate the prevalence and duration of EAs through user surveys.
- To propose situated virtual reality (VR) as a method to mitigate EAs and improve user presence.
Main Methods:
- Conducted an informal online survey with 76 virtual reality (VR) users.
- Collected data on the types and durations of experiential artifacts (EAs) experienced.
- Analyzed survey results to identify common EA patterns.
Main Results:
- Identified various types of experiential artifacts (EAs) reported by VR users.
- Documented the lingering effects and durations of these artifacts.
- Preliminary data highlights the need for solutions to mitigate EA disruptions.
Conclusions:
- Experiential artifacts (EAs) are a significant challenge in virtual reality (VR) transitions.
- Situated virtual reality (VR), by blending real and virtual elements, shows potential for reducing incongruencies.
- Developing artifact-free hybrid realities is crucial for the future of immersive XR experiences.

01:21Gestalt Principles of Perception
493
Gestalt principles provide a framework for understanding how humans perceive objects as unified wholes within their context. These principles are essential in explaining the cognitive processes that make sense of complex visual stimuli by organizing them into coherent groups. One fundamental principle is proximity, which posits that objects located close to each other are perceived as a collective group. For instance, when dots are positioned near one another, the visual system interprets them...

01:06Virtual Work for a System of Connected Rigid Bodies
479
Virtual work is a powerful method used to solve problems involving several connected rigid bodies. When the system is in equilibrium, virtual work is zero. This allows the calculation of the resulting forces when a system undergoes a virtual displacement. When attempting to analyze such a system, first, use a free-body diagram, where an independent coordinate represents the configuration of the links, and mark its deflected position resulting from the positive virtual displacement.
