  @inproceedings{hube2023leisure, abstract = {User avatars are a critical component in collaborative Virtual Environments. A multitude of tools exist, employing various avatar types for self-representation and the representation of others. However, the optimal appearance for these avatars remains unclear. Consumer applications predominantly utilize stylized avatars, which are less prevalent in enterprise sectors. To investigate users’ avatar preferences, we conducted three user studies in both non-immersive and immersive environments, exploring whether social contexts influence virtual self-avatar selection. We generated individual avatars based on photographs of 91 participants, comprising 71 employees in the automotive industry and 20 individuals external to the company. Our findings indicate that work situations, irrespective of the occupational domain, significantly impact selfavatar choices. Conversely, we observed no correlation between the display medium or personality dimensions and avatar selection. Drawing upon our results, we provide recommendations for future avatar representation in work environments.}, address = {Association for Computing Machinery}, author = {Hube, Natalie and Reinelt, Melissa and Vidackovic, Kresimir and Sedlmair, Michael}, booktitle = {Proceeding of the 16th International Symposium on Visual Information Communication and Interaction (VINCI '23)}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1145/3615522.3615537}, title = {Work vs. Leisure – Differences in Avatar Characteristics Depending on Social Situations}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1145/3615522.3615537}, year = 2023 }

  @preprint{sousacalepso2022cardlearner, abstract = {Augmented reality (AR) has a diverse range of applications, including language teaching. When studying a foreign language, one of the biggest challenges learners face is memorizing new vocabulary. While augmented holograms are a promising means of supporting this memorization process, few studies have explored their potential in the language learning context. We demonstrate the possibility of using flashcard along with an expressive holographic agent on vocabulary learning. Users scan a flashcard and play an animation that is connected with an emotion related to the word they are seeing. Our goal is to propose an alternative to the traditional use of flashcards, and also introduce another way of using AR in the association process.}, author = {Sousa Calepso, Aimée and Hube, Natalie and Berenguel Senn, Noah and Brandt, Vincent and Sedlmair, Michael}, publisher = {ACM}, title = {cARdLearner: Using expressive Virtual Agents when learning vocabulary in Augmented Reality}, year = 2022 }

  @inproceedings{9974563, abstract = {Visual representations are used in various digitization processes to display objects in immersive environments. In industrial environments, the self-representation can be very helpful when reviewing 3D models to conform realistic proportions, particularly in combi-nation with haptic feedback that goes beyond vibrating controllers. For instance, haptic feedback in combination with a virtual representation supports working on use cases where collision is an important part to maintain data quality. To understand the dependency of both, we conducted a pilot study with 15 users from the automotive sector to examine the influence of upper limb representations on haptic feedback in Virtual Reality. Each participant was assigned with one of three upper limb representations which was used in different scenarios using haptic feedback devices. Overall, we found that the realistic arm representation was rated highest in terms of perceived realism and achieved the best task performance.}, author = {Hube, Natalie and Achberger, Alexander and Liepert, Philipp and Vogelsang, Jonas and Vidačković, Krešimir and Sedlmair, Michael}, booktitle = {2022 IEEE International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality Adjunct (ISMAR-Adjunct)}, doi = {10.1109/ISMAR-Adjunct57072.2022.00172}, pages = {802-807}, title = {Study on the Influence of Upper Limb Representations and Haptic Feedback in Virtual Reality}, url = {https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9974563}, year = 2022 }

The approach is empirically proven to be powerful for uncovering previously unseen structures in the data. While observing the results of the intermediate optimization steps of DR algorithms, we coincidently discovered the artistic beauty of the DR process. With enthusiasm for the beauty, we decided to look at DR from a generative art lens rather than their technical application aspects and use DR techniques to create artwork. Particularly, we use the optimization process to generate images, by drawing each intermediate step of the optimization process with some opacity over the previous intermediate result. As another alternative input, we used a neural-network model for face-landmark detection, to apply DR to portraits, while maintaining some facial properties, resulting in abstracted facial avatars. In this work, we provide such a collection of such artwork.}, author = {Cutura, Rene and Angerbauer, Katrin and Heyen, Frank and Hube, Natalie and Sedlmair, Michael}, booktitle = {2021 IEEE VIS Arts Program (VISAP)}, doi = {10.1109/VISAP52981.2021.00013}, organization = {IEEE}, pages = {59--72}, title = {DaRt: Generative Art using Dimensionality Reduction Algorithms}, year = 2021 }

At its heart, the pre-evaluated approach leverages semiotics, a theory used in linguistic. In doing so, we want to compare pre-evaluation with an approach that seeks to directly map real facial expressions onto their virtual counterparts. To evaluate both approaches, we conduct a controlled lab study with 22 participants. The results show that users are significantly more accurate in judging virtual facial expressions with pre-evaluated mapping. Additionally, participants were slightly more confident when deciding on a presented emotion. We could not find any differences regarding potential Uncanny Valley effects. However, the pre-evaluated mapping shows potential to be more convenient in a conversational scenario.}, author = {Hube, Natalie and Lenz, Oliver and Engeln, Lars and Groh, Rainer and Sedlmair, Michael}, booktitle = {IEEE International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality Adjunct (ISMAR-Adjunct)}, doi = {10.1109/ISMAR-Adjunct51615.2020.00023}, organization = {IEEE}, pages = {30-35}, title = {Comparing Methods for Mapping Facial Expressions to Enhance Immersive Collaboration with Signs of Emotion}, year = 2020 }
