Inertial and magnetic sensing of human movement near ferromagnetic materials - Mixed and Augmented Reality, 2003. Proceedings. The Second IEEE and ACM International Symposium on

Senseshapes: using statistical geometry for object selection in a multimodal augmented reality system - Mixed and Augmented Reality, 2003. Proceedings. The Second IEEE and ACM International Symposium on

We introduce a set of statistical geometric tools designed to identify the objects being manipulated through speech and gesture in a multimodal augmented reality system. SenseShapes are volumetric regions of interest that can be attached to parts of the user’s body to provide valuable information about the user’s interaction with objects. To assist in object selection, we generate a rich set of...

Inertial and magnetic sensing of human movement near ferromagnetic materials

This paper describes a Kalman filter design to estimate orientation of human body segments by fusing gyroscope, accelerometer and magnetometer signals. Ferromagnetic materials near the sensor disturb the local magnetic field and therefore the orientation estimation. The magnetic disturbance can be detected by looking at the total magnetic density and a magnetic disturbance vector can be calcula...

Taking It to the Streets: How Virtual Reality Can Change Mobile Computing

Virtual reality has long been an indoor affair. Whether constrained by stationary computers or displays, or by the limitations of our tracking technologies, researchers typically build virtual environments that work within a single physical room or a portion of a room. Even distributed virtual reality systems usually interconnect two or more such indoor spaces. Meanwhile, as computers grow ever...

The Technical Committee on Wearable Information Systems

Wearable computing is getting increasingly integrated in our every day life and the evolution of our community continues. In addition to the IEEE International Symposium on Wearable Computers, TC WIS co-sponsors the IEEE and ACM International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality (ISMAR) and a few other conferences and workshops. The TC helped initiate the IEEE Computer Society’s Pervasive C...
