Mission confiée
In the context of the project ASTRAL, this PhD will focus on the human-computer interaction dimension, and in particular on how users can interact with their AR avatarized version of their self. We envision the AR avatar as an interaction tool that will augment the user's interaction capabilities, enabling the interaction with real and augmented content.
When interacting with virtual and augmented reality, three main strategies can be considered: (1) Reality-based interactions, in which the interaction closely resembles interactions in the real world, such as isomorphic grasping [10], (2) Illusory interactions, in which the actions of the user can be altered in order to create illusions, such as redirected touching [5] and pseudo-haptics [6] and (3) Beyond-real interactions, in which the interaction capabilities of users surpass those of in real life, such as interacting with remote objects [13]. Although a large number of different interaction methods have been proposed in the literature, a key aspect of all the different interaction strategies is the available feedback to the user while interacting. In the context of VR, this feedback can be provided either by the user's avatar [1] or by additional visual elements (e.g., 3D cursor), which play a major role in ensuring efficient and precise interactions. In the context of AR, a key aspect of the feedback relies on the actual user's body representation, which is at the same time one of the main input modalities (e.g., gesture-based interfaces). Typical AR-based interactions rely on grasping and pinching gestures, coupled with other interaction modalities such as gaze and vocal commands. However, while the role of the user's representation has been largely studied in the context of Virtual Reality [2], few studies have systematically explored the impact of the user's representation in an AR context. A few notable works have started to address the impact on the avatar in the interaction process in AR [7], it remains scarcely explored the actual role of the avatar within the interaction process in AR.
Principales activités
While in VR, the visual aspects of the user's avatar are potentially unlimited [1], in AR such representations are limited by a wide range of conflicts, in particular visual, proprioceptive and haptic [2], [3], potentially hindering the interaction process. Moreover, interacting through AR avatars poses several challenges in terms of how users will leverage their augmented representation to efficiently interact with real and augmented content. This raises questions regarding the integration not only of virtual and real content, but also on the alterations of the user’s body scheme by the AR avatar and the potential impact of the avatar to the sense of agency [4].
The main outcome of the PhD is to provide guidelines and tools to improve the impact of the avatar in the interaction process and design and evaluate novel interaction methods to AR to support efficient interaction with AR avatars.
