Item Controlling Game Objects Using Multiple Degrees-Of-Freedom(The Eurographics Association, 2020) Sandoval, Mario; Morris, Tim; Turner, Martin; Ritsos, Panagiotis D. and Xu, KaiLISU (Library for Interactive Settings and User-modes) is an input management computing framework which enables groups of researchers to cohabit real-time simulation environments simultaneously and to visualise and manipulate virtual objects within multiple computer-assisted visualisation applications. The key novelty of LISU is an automated layered approach (physicaldriver- transport-upper layers) with importantly a built-in HCI ontology and strictly defined set of sub-APIs between the layers. All of this allows multiple input devices with multiple degrees of freedom to interact simultaneously, allowing for more intuitive and natural behaviour. Evaluation combines both linear and non-linear user modes, with a comparison system provided by Unity3D. By combining human spatial reasoning and computer graphics theory, technologies like LISU have the potential to improve our ability to understand, test and evaluate, reengineer, and then communicate better virtual dataset behaviour.Item Interaction Framework within Collaborative Virtual Environments for Multiple Users each interacting with Multiple Degrees-Of-Freedom Controllers(The Eurographics Association, 2020) Sandoval, Mario; Morris, Tim; Turner, Martin; Ritsos, Panagiotis D. and Xu, KaiCollaboration is a process in which two or more agents work together to achieve shared goals. However, many existing platforms cannot generate a collaborative environment to engage multiple users with multiple controllers in a seamless manner. To address this need, this poster and work in progress article will describe LISU (Library for Interactive Settings and User-modes) an input management computing framework that enables collaboration across multiple input controllers as its default. Within the system team members cohabit any real-time simulation environments simultaneously and are then able to jointly control visualisation software across multiple controllers while being continually monitored and evaluated at a low level, allowing research questions to be answered.
