To provide a navigational tool to show a building's interior and other related information, we propose a three-dimensional computer graphics (3DCG) display system connected to the elevator's movements that can present a building's structural information. We altered the 3DCG's viewpoint according to the detected acceleration rate of the elevator and compared perceived acceleration rates through somatosensation...
This paper describes development of a distributed framework for creating mobile mixed reality (MR) systems. The goal of the framework is providing the same MR space for a variety of mobile devices which connect via wireless network. This paper discusses a design policy of our framework, system architecture for supporting diverse mobile devices, including an easy-to-implement script language for developing...
This paper presents Virtual Drum. Virtual Drum allows us to play a drum anytime, anywhere by monitoring the player's body movement with Microsoft Kinect, and presenting a virtual drum projected by a small projector on any surface near the player. The colors, shapes, and sounds of drums can be changed by the player's gesture during his/her play. This approach increases the playfulness of the drum play...
