“…When a user touches a certain document in the document group, the documents become transparent to show the target document. They examined interactivity and transparent representations to help users recognize easily the overlap of the documents [82]. Inami et al proposed a transparent haptic device [83] and suits (optical camouflage suits) [84] using a projector camera (pro-cam), and Yoshida et al proposed a pro-cam-based transparent cockpit to see through a car body from its inside [18].…”

In this paper, we review diminished reality (DR) studies that visually remove, hide, and see through real objects from the real world. We systematically analyze and classify publications and present a technology map as a reference for future research. We also discuss future directions, including multimodal diminished reality. We believe that this paper will be useful mainly for students who are interested in DR, beginning DR researchers, and teachers who introduce DR in their classes.

“…Selective transparency has also been used to make a user's hands and tools appear partially transparent to aid in manual tasks [3]. Similarly, related research has employed virtual transparentising to alter the appearance of the top layer of a document stack to reveal the documents beneath [24].…”

Figure 1. Chameleons are well known for their ability to change the colour of their skin for survival and social signalling [10]. Sometimes this colour change is to indicate aggression towards other animals, or in response to temperature or mood (left); at other times, as in the centre left image shown here, chameleons can match the pattern of their surroundings near perfectly, perhaps to lessen the danger from predators. In this work, we explore how mobile devices might be able to perform the same feat. The centre right image, then, shows a phone placed normally on a table. At right: the same phone blended in to its surroundings, but still able to present social signals to its owner in a subtle manner. ABSTRACTMany users value the ability to have quick and frequent sight of their mobiles when in public settings. However, in doing so, they expose themselves to potential risks, ranging from being targets of robbery to the more subtle social losses through being seen to be rude or inattentive to those around them. In nature, some animals can blend into their environments to avoid being eaten or to reduce their impact on the ecosystem around them. Taking inspiration from these evolved systems we investigate the notion of chameleon approaches for mobile interaction design. Our probes were motivated, inspired and refined through extended interactions with people drawn from contexts with differing ranges of security and privacy concerns. Through deployments on users' own devices, our prototypes show the value of the concept. The encouraging results motivate further research in materials and form factors that can provide more effective automatic plain-sight hiding.

“…Limpid Desk is a visualization tool that allows its users to "see" the contents of a stack of documents; in particular, it allows a user to "see" contents of documents further down in the stack without the top layer needing to be removed [10,11]. The upper layer is transparentized and users can find desired documents even if they are hidden in the document stack.…”

Abstract. Most web searches aim to re-find previously known information or documents. Keeping track of one's digital and printed reading material is known to be a challenging and costly task. We describe the design, implementation and evaluation of our Human-centred workplace (HCW) -a system that supports the tracking of physical document printouts. HCW embeds QR codes in the document printout, stores the documents in a personal Digital Library, and uses cameras in the office to track changes in the document locations. We explored the HCW in three evaluations, using the system over several weeks in an office setting, a user study in a lab environment, and extensive functional tests.
