    AR Avatar Separated from Lecturer for Individual Communication in One-to-many Communication
    (The Eurographics Association, 2020) Kitagishi, Yuki; Tanaka, Yuki; Yonezawa, Tomoko; Kulik, Alexander and Sra, Misha and Kim, Kangsoo and Seo, Byung-Kuk
    In this paper, we propose an augmented reality agent separated from the lecturer as his/her avatar to promote individual communication between the lecturer and the audience in parallel with one-to-many communication such as lectures. The proposed agent is expressed by 1-1) a shadow and 1-2) its trajectory drawn by projection mapping to the floor, as well as 2) localized footsteps using the parametric speaker. The agent approaches a particular audience member who seems to need to talk with the lecturer individually. To emphasize that the agent is the lecturer's avatar, the proposed system draws the trajectory from the lecturer's feet to the agent's current position and shakes the shadow's tail like will-o'-the-wisp. During the lecture, the agent approaches the audience member who wants individual communication with the lecturer. After that, the agent talks to the audience member as the lecturer. We expect that the proposed agent will aid in the individual communication between the lecturer and the audience without the audience's hesitation, and will be able to enable multiple and parallel communications with few additional resources required by the lecturer.

    Spatialized AR Polyrhythmic Metronome Using Bose Frames Eyewear
    (The Eurographics Association, 2020) Pinkl, James; Cohen, Michael; Kulik, Alexander and Sra, Misha and Kim, Kangsoo and Seo, Byung-Kuk
    Polyrhythms, combinations of contrasting but mathematically related rhythms, are challenging to play, even for skilled musicians. This project entails the development of an augmented reality metronome application with an auditorily spatialized, polyphonic soundscape. Audio objects within the scene are metronomes set at polyrhythmic tempos. User control is through a pair of Bose Frames eyewear and the touch screen of a phablet hosting the application. Audio output of the scene is spatialized using the Google Resonance SDK. Options for reverb, rhythmic animation of the sound sources, and visualization of the tempo are also featured.

    Tactile Telepresence for Isolated Patients
    (The Eurographics Association, 2020) Mostofa, Nafisa; Avendano, Indira; McMahan, Ryan P.; Welch, Gregory F.; Kulik, Alexander and Sra, Misha and Kim, Kangsoo and Seo, Byung-Kuk
    For isolated patients, for example COVID-19 patients in an intensive care unit, conventional televideo tools can provide a degree of visual telepresence, but at best approximate a ''through a window'' metaphor-visitors such as loved ones cannot touch the patient. We present preliminary work aimed at providing an isolated patient and remote visitors with visual interactions that are augmented by touch-a perception of being touched for the isolated patient, and a perception of touching for the visitors.
