Active Visual Localization for Multi-Agent Collaboration: A Data-Driven Approach
Rather than having each newly deployed robot create its own map of its surroundings, the growing availability of SLAM-enabled devices provides the option of simply localizing in a map of another robot or device. In cases such as multi-robot or human-robot collaboration, localizing all agents in the same map is even necessary. However, localizing e.g. a ground robot in the map of a drone or head-mounted MR headset presents unique challenges due to viewpoint changes. This work investigates how ac…

Spatial Personas Make Apple Vision Pro a Less Isolating Experience
Spatial Persona, Apple Vision Pro's support for up to five people to watch movies and TV shows, play augmented reality games, and collaborate on work, is rolling out today to make the spatial computing headset more a multi-user experience as opposed to an isolating, single-user one.

Penetration Vision through Virtual Reality Headsets: Identifying 360-degree Videos from Head Movements
In this paper, we present the first contactless side-channel attack for identifying 360 videos being viewed in a Virtual Reality (VR) Head Mounted Display (HMD). Although the video content is displayed inside the HMD without any external exposure, we observe that user head movements are driven by the video content, which creates a unique side channel that does not exist in traditional 2D videos. By recording the user whose vision is blocked by the HMD via a malicious camera, an attacker can ana…

Because it's the beginning of the International Trombone (work) Week (it started yesterday, because America), and it's my last day solo before my office mate comes back to work, I'm blasting out some Trombone jazz in the office (on my personal headset). Mostly Wycliffe Gordon, because his playing is inspirational.

Alljoined1 -- A dataset for EEG-to-Image decoding
We present Alljoined1, a dataset built specifically for EEG-to-Image decoding. Recognizing that an extensive and unbiased sampling of neural responses to visual stimuli is crucial for image reconstruction efforts, we collected data from 8 participants looking at 10,000 natural images each. We have currently gathered 46,080 epochs of brain responses recorded with a 64-channel EEG headset. The dataset combines response-based stimulus timing, repetition between blocks and sessions, and diverse ima…

We’re getting to that point with personal computers and phones too.
We've largely reached the point of most people having quite enough computing power at the ready for their personal use and entertainment. Even if hardware and software can keep advancing as it has in recent decades, we don't have the capacity to do anything directly with that extra power. …
