Simulating Implant Procedures In Dentistry, Brandon Patterson
Frameless
The School of Dentistry in partnership with the health sciences library at the University of Utah developed VR simulations for dental implants. The benefits of using the technology included providing endless scenarios, evaluation measures, and experiential learning experiences for students [1]. The school administration found that the simulations kept pace with the requirements of regulatory authorities, helped reduce costs in dental education, and found that students who trained in VR scored significantly better than traditional methods largely due to their ability to repeat tasks and receive instant feedback [2, 3].

Use of simulation facilities and equipment in medical training has become the fabric of curricula across nearly all professions, most notably medical school, nursing, and related medical sciences programs. The gold standard for simulators is SimMan3G, Laerdal Inc., which offers a static electronic mannequin that affords the opportunity to create disease states, signs/symptoms, and real physiological/vital sign data complemented by voice interactions between faculty (within the control room) and student. All sessions are videotaped and, through a 15-30 minute debriefing, students exchange thoughts and impressions with faculty and engage in a deep reflective learning experience. The other option for medical …

Empathy is arguably the “backbone” of the patient-physician relationship. It has been shown to have numerous positive clinical outcomes especially in a patient-centered careservice. Nevertheless, studies have shown a disintegration of empathy and compassion in physicians during medical school and residency training due to the lack of standardization of empathy training in medical education.

A Review Of Xr Classrooms In Institutions Of Higher Education, Brandon Patterson, Tallie Casucci
Frameless
This talk will review the literature and examine existing physical spaces using virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), often referred together as extended reality (XR), to teach learners in an academic setting. Attendees will better understand best practices and ways of addressing potential challenges when designing a physical XR classroom space for higher education. A physical XR classroom provides institutions with a dedicated space for educational courses and workshops, which utilize XR for both one- off sessions and an entire semester (Pirker, Holly, and Gütl 2020). The talk will help answer the question, why a dedicated XR classroom?

Real-Time Illumination Capture And Rendering On Mobile Devices, Snehal Padhye, James A. Ferwerda
Frameless
We present our efforts to develop methods for rendering 3D objects on mobile devices using real-world dynamic illumination from the user’s environment. To achieve this, we use the front and back cameras on the mobile device to estimate the light distribution in the environment in real time. We then create a dynamic illumination map and render the object at interactive rates in a browser on the device using a web-based graphics API. This project achieves one of the goals of our related work on realistic visualization of virtual objects: to make virtual objects appear to be situated within the scene …

As we rapidly move toward a fully virtual world, commercial industries and organizations are becoming increasingly competitive with their communications strategies so that they can continue to attract audiences’ attention and break through industry noise. As a result, the notion of “immersive experiences” is becoming more popular. XR technology is at the forefront of delivering unique, immersive and interactive experiences — and it has seen significant growth in recent years across all commercial industries and is poised to continue that trend.
How Bright Should It Be: Diffuse White In Optical See-Through Augmented Reality, Lili Zhang, Michael J. Murdoch
How Bright Should It Be: Diffuse White In Optical See-Through Augmented Reality, Lili Zhang, Michael J. Murdoch
Frameless
Augmented reality (AR) realism has been one of the most important aspects of more immersive experiences. Realistic render-ing requires the virtual images to have the correct tone and light intensity compared to the real background for seamless and visually compelling results. In this project, we focus on how bright a 3D rendered white diffusive cube should be on different background con-ditions including the background luminance levels, spatial variance, and luminance con-trast. An interactive psychophysical experi-ment was used to assess the correct lumi-nance level of the cube providing observers the ability to change the cube material reflec-tance and rotation.

Designing Blended Experiences: Laugh Traders Design Fiction, Brian J. Okeefe
Frameless
The increasing ubiquity of interactions that involve complementary digital content, physical objects, and spaces, brings about new challenges for designers. There is a need to embed designs in legacy systems, whether those are existing physical structures or existing digital platforms. Traditional approaches to product design, interaction design, and user experience design often do not take this new context into account. Many systems do not consider how designers produce new digital and physical experiences that work harmoniously, while supporting new interactions and relationships with people (Imaz and Benyon 2007; Jetter, Geyer, Schwarz & Reiterer 2012). To address this, we propose the …

Digital Modeling Of Cultural Heritage Objects, Snehal A. Padhye, James A. Ferwerda, David Messinger
Frameless
Cultural heritage objects are a rich source of information about human history. Due to the physical nature of these often old and typically rare or unique objects, humanity is at risk of losing this history. Given their importance, preservation is an active area of interest in the research community. While, digitally capturing images of the objects is common practice, we propose a more comprehensive approach to preserving these objects. It involves creating digital models that represent both the three- dimensional shapes of the objects and the materials they are made of.

Ar Painting: Homage To Homage To The Square, Luke Hellwig
Ar Painting: Homage To Homage To The Square, Luke Hellwig
Frameless
This work is based on the Homage to the Square series of paintings by Josef Albers, which includes two murals installed in the lobby of the Eastman Building on RIT’s campus. Albers’ work explored how spatial interactions influence our perception of color, how the color we perceive an area to be is affected by the color of the areas around it. These paintings use Albers’s designs to explore the interaction between projected light and paint, and the resulting perceptual ambiguity. The paintings themselves are purely achromatic. Projected regions of colored light aligned with the painted grayscale borders allow the perceived …

Aware: Eliminating Implicit Bias Using Ar, Shagun Bose, Emma Strauch
Frameless
Implicit Bias is something that happens to real people in real spaces all the time. But we can’t see it. Since AR allows us to overlay virtual objects in real environments, we want to leverage this capability to make more salient the various ways in which people experience implicit bias and to realize empathy as a driver for pro-social behavior.

Augmenting Sign Language Exposure For Hearing Parent-Deaf Child Interaction, Ashley Tenesaca, Jung Yun Oh, Sizhe Li, Wanyin Hu, Zhen Bai
Frameless
Above 90% of deaf children are born to hearing parents who are often non-fluent with sign language. The developmental consequences of early language deprivation experienced by deaf children can be witnessed in their later life outcomes. A significant portion of the deaf population are prone to cognitive delays, poor educational experiences, diminished career opportunities, and psychosocial difficulties (Hall 2017, 961). Given this, it becomes imperative to improve early childhood language experiences. To foster neuropsychological growth, language must be accessible to the child; in the case of deaf children, this would mean early exposure to a visual language...
