ABSTRACT
We introduce MetaPo, a mobile robot with spheric display, 360° media I/O and robotic hands for creating a unified model of interspace communication. MetaPo works as a portal between pairs of physical-physical, cyber-cyber and cyber-physical spaces to provide 1) panoramic communication for multiple remote users, and 2) immersive interspace migration with mobility functionality. The paper overviews our concept and first prototype of MetaPo with its hardware and software implementation.

A Classification of Human-to-Human Communication during the Use of Immersive Teleoperation Interfaces
VRIC '15: Proceedings of the 2015 Virtual Reality International ConferenceWe propose a new classification of the human-to-human communication during the use of immersive teleoperation interfaces based on real-life examples. While a large body of research is concerned with communication in collaborative virtual environments (...
A meta-analysis of recent studies on haptic feedback enhancement in immersive-augmented reality
ICVR 2018: Proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Virtual RealityIn this study, we address a research direction on haptic feedback-driven object presence in immersive Augmented Reality (AR). We reviewed 30 current studies in regard of sensory feedback in domain of Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Virtuality (AV), AR ...
Immersive environment for robotic tele-operation
AIR '15: Proceedings of the 2015 Conference on Advances In RoboticsIn various modern day situations, controlling a robot from a remote location is essential due to hazardous environmental conditions (for human operators) near the robot. Thus arises the need for an intuitive user interface for tele-operation, which must ...
