Multi-Modal Transition and Traces in Everyday Mobile Virtual Reality In ISS'21 Workshop Proceedings: "Transitional Interfaces in Mixed and Cross-Reality: A new frontier?", November 14, 2021, Łódź, Poland. ACM, New York, NY, USA, (bib) |
In everyday transport, virtual reality (VR) users are challenged to quickly transition between realities for a variety of reasons, such as onboarding other passengers into the shared space or making a phone call. To facilitate this in-car transition, we interviewed nine automotive experts about the feasibility of interactive multi-modalities supporting this process, e.g., using car-interior-based passive haptics. We discussed different solutions for ten real-world incidents occurring on the road and triggered by the user, the VR system, or continuous communication between both. The results showed the consensus on using visual and auditory modalities but diverged in using haptic stimuli due to its relevance to emergencies in the automotive context. Our position paper explores multi-modal traces as anchor points to support a quick transition from the real environment back to VR. Finally, we discuss the potential for multi-modal transition in everyday mobile VR to facilitate simultaneous activities in both realities. |
