RUI Establishing bidirectional principles of motor learning and rehabilitation in virtual reality

In this RUI proposal, we seek to expand the knowledge of the bidirectional relationship between users and virtual reality (VR) systems to maximize learning of motor skills via two feasibility studies. Through understanding the user experience while learning in VR, we can develop more targeted training practices that fully leverage both human and VR adaptation. In the physical rehabilitation domain, V...

The AWARE Project: Arming Wearable Augmented Reality Equipment to Strengthen Psychological Reserves and Resilience

Augmented reality (AR) offers a powerful new tool to see and interact with the world. To unlock the potentials of using holograms, the US Army recently invested $22 BILLION into the research and development of AR headsets to enhance soldiers' abilities on the battlefield. The risks of entering battle to protect freedom and democracy are severe – as 10% to 30% of military persons who...

NAVI NASA SUITS

This proposal presents a visual display system called Navi for consideration as part of NASA's Spacesuit User Interface Technologies for Students (SUITS) Design Challenge. Navi utilizes a Microsoft HoloLens 2 augmented reality (AR) head-mounted display (HMD) to unobtrusively present information to Artemis astronauts as they complete lunar extravehicular activities (EVAs) in order to increase efficiency and decrease cognitive load. Though Navi has potential for myriad features...
