SUMMARY:VR, Haptics & Hardware
DESCRIPTION:Role-Aware Virtual Agents for Navigational Interaction guided 
 by a Multimodal Large Language Model\n\nWe present a role-aware virtual ag
 ent navigation system that generates consistent, role-aligned behaviors. U
 sing multimodal large language models (MLLMs), our approach interprets sce
 ne context, user state, and role-context instructions to produce navigatio
 n decisions and stylized paths, enabling age...\n\n\nMinyoung Kim (George

 Research), and Lap-Fai Yu (George Mason University)\n---------------------
 \nEgoRelight: Egocentric Human Capture and Illumination Recovery for Relig
 htable and Photoreal Avatar Rendering\n\nTo enable seamless mixed-reality 
 telepresence in the wild, we present EgoRelight, a robust human performanc
 e capture and HDR illumination recovery approach using a single portable h
 ead-mounted device. This dual capability drives the photorealistic and rel
 ightable full-body 3D avatars, blending users...\n\n\nJianchun Chen (Max P

 for Informatics; Saarbrücken Research Center for Visual Computing, Interac
 tion and AI)\n---------------------\nVoronoi Rooms: Dynamic Visibility Mod
 ulation of Overlapping Spaces for Telepresence\n\nWe propose a multi-user 
 Mixed Reality telepresence system that aligns rooms to maximize shared spa
 ce while visualizing non-shared spaces. Using Voronoi-based dynamic visibi
 lity modulation based on user proximity, our approach conveys spatial cont
 ext of each user's environment, enabling seamless inte...\n\n\nTaehei Kim,

 irflow and Temperature as Tactile Fields for Interactive Experiences in Vi
 rtual Reality\n\nAtmospheric Haptics treats airflow and temperature as pro
 grammable, non-contact tactile fields for VR. Four perceptual primitives—I
 ntensity, Temperature, Spatiality, and Dynamics—drive a three-layer render
 ing pipeline implemented in a handheld prototype. A user study confirms en

 line for retrofitting 3D objects with real-time multi-touch sensing withou
 t modifying their interiors. From a 3D scan, our method routes and optimiz
 es surface-conforming electrode layouts under geometric, fabrication, and 
 hardware constraints. We guide asse...\n\n\nAndela Ilic, Junpeng Gao, Zhip

 -------------------\nGeneralized Aberrations for Processing-Aware Optical 
 Design\n\nOptimal imaging performance requires designing optics with the d
 ownstream processing in the loop—especially as AI pipelines grow in import
 ance. Yet the scalar nature of loss functions in the processing-aware sett
 ing breaks industry-standard lens design solvers. We generalize classical 
 ray aber...\n\n\nGeoffroi Côté (Keysight Technologies, Princeton Universit

 thors to gather around with the audience. Authors are invited to bring any
  material related to their paper that could instigate further conversation
