project, we show that virtual
reality is a viable, portable,
and cost-efficient option that
can assist radiodiagnostics by
considerably diminishing the
effects of unsuitable ambient
conditions.

2. TRing
TRing offers a novel method for
bringing interactivity to objects by
embedding a small magnet in them
and using a finger-worn device. No
time-consuming post processing is
needed. Using a magnetic-sensing
technique, the system tracks
the user’s fingertip around the
embedded magnet.
TRing can thus easily replace
conventional physical interface
elements such as buttons and
sliders. Our work will benefit
HCI practitioners as well as
general users who want to
quickly implement a personalized
physical interface without having
deeper knowledge of electronic
components.

3. VRRRRoom
Reading-room conditions such
as illumination, ambient light,
and display luminance play an
important role in how radiologists
analyze and interpret images.
Indeed, serious diagnostic errors
can appear when observing
images through everyday
monitors. Typically these occur
whenever professionals are ill
positioned with respect to the
display, or when they visualize
images under improper light
and luminance conditions.
VRRRRoom combines immersive
HMDs with interactive surfaces
to support radiologists in
analyzing medical images and
formulating diagnostics. In this

By simply embedding
a small magnet, everyday
objects become interactive,
without the need for installing
electronic components.

The system combines
virtual reality and desktop
touch interactions to aid
radiodiagnostics and cancel
out improper light and
luminance conditions.
