Orchestral Conducting in Virtual Reality
… for beginners. To bridge this gap, we built the Virtual Reality Conducting system (VRC), a virtual reality system in which a user conducts a simulated orchestra. VRC detects the user’s hand movements and algorithmically infers fundamental conducting gestures, such as timekeeping and accent …

Virtual Reality for Sport Training
Virtual reality (VR) has been successfully applied to a broad range of training domains; however, to date there is little research investigating its benefits for sport training. In this work we investigated the feasibility and usefulness of using VR for two sport subdomains: sport psychology and …

Stationarity Perception and Virtual Reality Sickness
Stationarity perception involves accurately perceiving a stable visual environment, a critical skill for self-motion. This perception relies on evaluating signals from eye and head movements for congruence. Through a series of experiments, we systematically manipulated the consistency between …
