User-embodied Interaction in Virtual Reality (UIVR)

Abstract

The availability of tracking solutions allowing for the embodiment

of users in Virtual- Mixed- and Augmented Reality

(VR/MR/AR) applications challenges human-computer interaction

(HCI) developers. Many potentials are yet to be

explored. By no means is the most realistic replication of the

user and the interaction a general optimum for all applications.

In turn, altered body representations have perceptual

impacts on the users themselves as well as on the perception

of the interaction (“Kleider machen Leute”). To support a

discussion and the generation of a common agenda, we will

organize a half-day workshop on User-embodied Interaction

in VR (UIVR) gathering researchers and practitioners emphasizing

the discussion of different positions on applications

and findings to collect guidelines for future developments.
