Enhancing Immersive Virtual Reality Experience with Olfactory Interface in IndiaAarav BalachandranProject type - IPIntroducing olfaction, or the sense of smell, into virtual environments opens up a whole new realm of possibilities for enhancing immersion and creating captivating experiences. The sense of smell is intricately connected to memory and emotion, with scents often triggering vivid recollections and evoking powerful emotional responses. By incorporating olfactory cues corresponding to specific in-game events or locations, developers can tap into this direct link between smell and memory, deepening the sense of presence and forging more memorable user experiences.

Augmented Reality-based Screening Test for Dyslexia in ChildrenSahil DeshpandeProject type - IPAugmented Reality (AR) has emerged as a transformative technology reshaping how we interact with technology and the real world. Our tool aims to transform the screening of Dyslexia into an engaging, playful experience. Adhering to Child Computer Interaction principles, the app transcends traditional methods, offering interactive AR games that captivate young minds while assessing their learning patterns and cognitive skills.
NavigAR: Enhancing Localized Space Navigation using Augmented RealitySahil DeshpandeProject type - UDXR Course ProjectIn this study, we use Augmented Reality (AR) to project and let users interact with a 3D-replicated model of a fenced space to understand how AR can improve navigation and enhance space retention by improving wayfinding via recall. We recreated a fenced space in 3D using Blender. Users can see their current position and, using on-screen buttons, see routes to their destinations. We found that users could associate the 3D models of the buildings with their real-world counterparts. We observed that users were better able to navigate the campus after using the application. Our poster has been accepted for publication in the A* conference, IEEE VR 2024.
