Abstract:

In this poster we propose an implementation of direct feedforward for the ViRgilites system. The project defines two alternative uses, with respect to the current implementation, that only shows in an indirect way (icons, target object images, text) how to perform an interaction in the simulated environment. The first representation is a single avatar mode where the user sees a virtual avatar performing an action in the same environment as the user, while the second representation is a multiple avatar mode, where the user can choose to compare two interactions and see the avatar representations side by side in dedicated panels. We report on the initial ideas and proof-of-concepts, while we envision further modifications and a future evaluation of the final outcome.
