Social Simulation for Integrating Self-Care: Measuring the Effects of Contextual Environments in Augmented Reality for Mental Health Practice
Despite growing interest in virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) for mental well-being, prior work using immersive interventions to teach mental health skills has largely focused on calming or abstract settings. As a result, little is known about how realistic social simulation may better support the transfer and application of skills to in-person environments. In this work, we present a 14-day user study with 43-participants comparing an augmented reality intervention simulating a realistic c…

Twenty participants of varying skill levels performed 3D modeling tasks using both systems. The results showed that while the average task completion time is comparable for both groups, novice designers had a higher completion rate in AR-CAD than in the traditional CAD interface, and experienced designers had a s…

Impact of HRTF individualisation and head movements in a real/virtual localisation task
The objective of Audio Augmented Reality (AAR) applications are to seamlessly integrate virtual sound sources within a real environment. It is critical for these applications that virtual sources are localised precisely at the intended position, and that the acoustic environments are accurately matched. One effective method for spatialising sound on headphones is through Head-Related Transfer Functions (HRTFs). These characterise how the physical features of a listener modify sound waves befo…
