• Sign Language Recognition: Learning American Sign Language in a Virtual Environment

  CHI EA '19: Extended Abstracts of the 2019 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

  In this paper, we propose an approach, for sign language recognition, that makes use of a virtual reality headset to create an immersive environment. We show how features from data acquired by the Leap Motion controller, using an egocentric view, can be ...

• VR Grabbers: Ungrounded Haptic Retargeting for Precision Grabbing Tools

  UIST '18: Proceedings of the 31st Annual ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology

  Haptic feedback in VR is important for realistic simulation in virtual reality. However, recreating the haptic experience for hand tools in VR traditionally requires hardware with precise actuators, adding complexity to the system. We propose Ungrounded ...
