MINT/Seamless @ ACM VRST 2025
Nathan Salin will present his paper Toward Multimodal Asynchronous Collaboration in VR Artistic Creation with SPARK at ACM VRST in November. The paper is available here.
The MINT team conducts research in Human-Computer Interaction on the notion of "extended interaction in observed situations", covering contexts such as interfaces in public spaces, artistic performances, teaching, but also rehabilitation (e.g., a practitioner observing a patient) or collaboration in general. More specifically, we focus on three main goals:
