Abstract

We are exposed daily to the risk of collision at numerous blind intersections. To avoid the risk of collision, we propose a system that elicits an "approaching sensation" by presenting a visual stimulus. Possible factors for the approaching sensation are the "expansion" and "motion" of a silhouette. We compared the effects of these two factors on the approaching sensation and found that to elicit an approaching sensation, the expansion factor is important, and the motion factor has a certain effect in alarming pedestrians. On the base of this result, we produced a system that presents an expanding and moving silhouette of an approaching pedestrian to the pedestrians user.

Generalized reciprocal collision avoidance

Reciprocal collision avoidance has become a popular area of research over recent years. Approaches have been developed for a variety of dynamic systems ranging from single integrators to car-like, differential-drive, and arbitrary, linear equations of ...
Improving virtual reality safety precautions with depth sensing
OzCHI '18: Proceedings of the 30th Australian Conference on Computer-Human Interaction

Securing users' safety is a prerequisite for any Virtual Reality (VR) experience no matter in which kinds of circumstances. In this work, we present two Augmented Virtuality interfaces that integrate the depth sensing of surroundings into the VR scene ...
Seeking a path through the crowd: Robot navigation in unknown dynamic environments with moving obstacles based on an integrated environment representation

We present a novel algorithm for collision free navigation of a non-holonomic robot in unknown complex dynamic environments with moving obstacles. Our approach is based on an integrated representation of the information about the environment which does ...
