Interaction goes virtual: towards collaborative XR

This demo presents an interactive communication system based on immersive media for analyzing the users' Quality of Experience in collaborative tasks. The interaction between users is studied in an asymmetric scenario where a peer-to-peer communication has been set up between a PC and a Virtual Reality headset. Two application scenarios have been considered: a Block Building task and a Treasure Hunt game. The two users will cooperate to perform the two tasks. The goal is to study the relation between the type of transmitted information (i.e., audio and video or audio only) and the quality and quantity of interaction. During the demo, participants will have the opportunity to try one of the designed applications.
