Three undergraduate students have presented the results of their independent studies in CS and ECE poster sessions and demonstrations here at Duke University.
Michael Glushakov presented a poster and a demo of his work on edge computing-supported augmented reality with Google ARCore, demonstrating how edge computing can be used to enable persistent and personalized augmented reality experiences, and developing a portal that allows people without coding background to create personalized AR experiences. Joseph DeChicchis presented a poster and a demo of his work on using reinforcement learning to teach holograms to move out of the way of real-world objects. Joseph’s demonstration showcased this capability on Magic Leap One devices. Madeline Wilkinson presented a poster of her work on using eye tracking to personalize user experiences in augmented reality on Magic Leap One devices.
