iTaiChi: Spatial Intelligence for Augmented Reality Tai Chi Coaching<\/b><\/p>

Abstract:<\/strong> We present iTaiChi, an augmented reality (AR) graphics system powered by spatial intelligence for expert-guided virtual coaching. iTaiChi builds a virtual coach from motion references captured by Tai Chi experts and reuses these references as spatial priors to support movement practice\u2014particularly for older adults. Central to our approach is a body-centered, spatially normalized representation that converts monocular pose observations into a viewpoint- and speed-robust motion space. This representation enables stable alignment between the user and the virtual coach, consistent visualization from diverse camera perspectives, and fine-grained comparison across different execution tempos. By integrating spatial intelligence into the AR graphics pipeline, iTaiChi delivers interpretable, spatially coherent feedback that bridges expert demonstrations and real-world practice, supporting more reliable human\u2013computer interaction in everyday environments. We conclude by discussing broader implications for AR coaching, accessible motion training, and next-generation spatially aware graphics systems.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Working Together in XR: Challenges and Opportunities for Immersive Collaboration<\/span><\/b><\/p>

Abstract:<\/strong>\u00a0This talk provides an overview of a body of work conducted with my team on immersive collaboration using Extended Reality (XR) technologies. It highlights both the opportunities and the challenges of working together in co-located and remote setups. These range from multi-stereoscopic CAVE-like systems to Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented\/Mixed Reality (AR\/MR) headsets. Our research addresses key questions, including user co-habitation, dual presence, spatial consistency, workspace partitioning, engagement, and attention. These topics are explored through several use cases, such as immersive training for assembly tasks, immersive analytics of complex data, and remote immersive learning. For each project, we discuss major outcomes, limitations, and insights. We also highlight promising directions for advancing XR-based immersive collaboration in the future.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
