A Reference Architecture for Gamified Cultural Heritage Applications Leveraging Generative AI and Augmented Reality
The rapid advancement of Information and Communication Technologies is transforming Cultural Heritage access, experience, and preservation. However, many digital heritage applications lack interactivity, personalization, and adaptability, limiting user engagement and educational impact. This short paper presents a reference architecture for gamified cultural heritage applications leveraging generative AI and augmented reality. Gamification enhances motivation, artificial intelligence enables ad…

Assessing Workers Neuro-physiological Stress Responses to Augmented Reality Safety Warnings in Immersive Virtual Roadway Work Zones
This paper presents a multi-stage experimental framework that integrates immersive Virtual Reality (VR) simulations, wearable sensors, and advanced signal processing to investigate construction workers neuro-physiological stress responses to multi-sensory AR-enabled warnings. Participants performed light- and moderate-intensity roadway maintenance tasks within a high-fidelity VR roadway work zone, while key stress markers of electrodermal activity (EDA), heart rate variability (HRV), and electr…

SplArt: Articulation Estimation and Part-Level Reconstruction with 3D Gaussian Splatting
Reconstructing articulated objects prevalent in daily environments is crucial for applications in augmented/virtual reality and robotics. However, existing methods face scalability limitations (requiring 3D supervision or costly annotations), robustness issues (being susceptible to local optima), and rendering shortcomings (lacking speed or photorealism). We introduce SplArt, a self-supervised, category-agnostic framework that leverages 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) to reconstruct articulated ob…

Network Digital Twin for 6G and Beyond: An End-to-End View Across Multi-Domain Network Ecosystems
With the rapid development of technology, the number of smart mobile users is increasing, accompanied by growing demands from applications such as virtual/augmented reality (VR/XR), remote surgery, autonomous vehicles, and real-time holographic communications, all of which require high transmission rates and ultra-low latency in 6G and beyond networks (6G+). This poses enormous challenges in efficiently deploying large-scale networks, including network design, planning, troubleshooting, optimiz…

Context-Aware Semantic Communication for the Wireless Networks
In next-generation wireless networks, supporting real-time applications such as augmented reality, autonomous driving, and immersive Metaverse services demands stringent constraints on bandwidth, latency, and reliability. Existing semantic communication (SemCom) approaches typically rely on static models, overlooking dynamic conditions and contextual cues vital for efficient transmission. To address these challenges, we propose CaSemCom, a context-aware SemCom framework that leverages a Large L…

Quality assessment of 3D human animation: Subjective and objective evaluation
Virtual human animations have a wide range of applications in virtual and augmented reality. While automatic generation methods of animated virtual humans have been developed, assessing their quality remains challenging. Recently, approaches introducing task-oriented evaluation metrics have been proposed, leveraging neural network training. However, quality assessment measures for animated virtual humans that are not generated with parametric body models have yet to be developed. In this contex…

Vision-Based Assistive Technologies for People with Cerebral Visual Impairment: A Review and Focus Study
Over the past decade, considerable research has investigated Vision-Based Assistive Technologies (VBAT) to support people with vision impairments to understand and interact with their immediate environment using machine learning, computer vision, image enhancement, and/or augmented/virtual reality. However, this has almost totally overlooked a growing demographic: people with Cerebral Visual Impairment (CVI). Unlike ocular vision impairments, CVI arises from damage to the brain's visual process…
