“…In the literature, it is demonstrated that the perception of a virtual environment is strongly influenced by the colours and natural conditions (Kruijff, Swan II and Feiner, 2010). Studying the effect of background colour in Augmented Reality (AR), Gabbard et al (2010) found that the colour scheme and variety of an environment can affect perception and concluded that contrast, saturation and other colour characteristics are fundamental for the usability of AR. In their theory on Presence, Slater and Wilbur (1997) included colour as an important characteristic of "vividness", which is a fundamental factor of immersion.…”

2Jaguar Land Rover, Virtual Innovation Centre (VIC) (bwaterf1@jaguarlandrover.com) Abstract. Virtual Reality (VR) can reduce time and costs, and lead to an increase in quality, in the development of a product. Given the pressure on car companies to reduce time-to-market and to continually improve quality the automotive industry has championed the use of VR across a number of applications, including design, manufacturing, and training. This paper describes interviews with 11 stakeholders from an automotive manufacturer about their current physical and virtual properties and processes. The results guided a review of research findings and scientific advances from the academic literature, which formed the basis of recommendations for future developments of VR technologies and applications. These include: develop a greater range of virtual contexts; use multi-sensory simulation; address perceived differences between virtual and real cars; improve motion capture capabilities; implement networked 3D technology; and use VR for market research.

“…text might turn unreadable when washed out, or color encoded information might lose their visual meaning. Gabbard et al[2010], studied such color changes in optical seethrough displays by building an experimental test-bed and examining display (27 colors on the edge of the RBG gamut) and background colors (6 common outdoor colors -foliage, brick, sidewalk, pavement, white and no background). Their results show that high intensity backgrounds affect all display colors by pulling them towards white, and backgrounds of different hues pull all colors toward them.…”

“…Their results show that high intensity backgrounds affect all display colors by pulling them towards white, and backgrounds of different hues pull all colors toward them. Gabbard et al [2010] modeled the color blended and perceived by a user (CP) as a function of the light source (L1), the reflectance (RF) of a background object (B), the light emitted by the display (L3), the interaction of both L1 and L3 in the display (ARD), and the human perception (HP). See equation 1:…”

“…This approach to generating background colors is limited by the color gamut of the LCD. Our testbed differs from previous systems [Gabbard et al 2010] which prioritize the capacity to obtain background colors as seen in nature. Our design prioritizes the capacity to automatically produce a wide variety of background colors.…”

An important aspect of additive OST displays is that light coming from real-world objects mixes with the light emitted by the display: also known as color blending [Gabbard et al 2010]. Color blending is an important issue as it affects the legibility and colorencodings of digital information and compromises the general usability of such devices.…”

In optical see-through displays, light coming from background objects mixes with the light originating from the display, causing what is known as the color blending problem. Color blending negatively affects the usability of such displays as it impacts the legibility and color encodings of digital content. Color correction aims at reducing the impact of color blending by finding an alternative display color which, once mixed with the background, results in the color originally intended.In this paper we model color blending based on two distortions induced by the optical see-through display. The render distortion explains how the display renders colors. The material distortion explains how background colors are changed by the display material. We show the render distortion has a higher impact on color blending and propose binned-profiles (BP) -descriptors of how a display renders colors -to address it. Results show that color blending predictions using BP have a low error rate -within nine just noticeable differences (JND) in the worst case. We introduce a color correction algorithm based on predictions using BP and measure its correction capacity. Results show light display colors can be better corrected for all backgrounds. For high intensity backgrounds light colors in the neutral and CyanBlue regions perform better. Finally, we elaborate on the applicability, design and hardware implications of our approach.
