EyeSeeX

Abstract

Recent advances in Virtual and Augmented Reality technology enable a variety of new applications (e.g., multi-player games in real environments). However, current devices suffer from having small fields of view, making the process of locating spatially distributed digital content similar to looking through a keyhole. In this work, we present EyeSeeX as a technique for visualizing out-of-view objects with head-mounted devices. EyeSeeX improves upon our previously developed technique EyeSee360 for small field-of-view (FOV) devices. To do so, EyeSeeX proposes two strategies: (1) reducing the visualized field and (2) compressing the presented information. Further, EyeSeeX supports video and optical see-through Augmented Reality, Mixed Reality, and Virtual Reality devices.
