ESROP – Unobtrusive Visual/Walking Guidance in Mixed Reality

Mixed reality (MR) based visual guidance enables intuitive interaction between the user and the environment and has various applications (e.g., picking tasks, navigation, and surgical support). These applications require highlighting physical objects, and many existing techniques utilize obvious virtual elements such as outlines and arrows. While effective, they significantly increase visual clutter when conveying a […]
