SwitchAR: Perceptual Manipulations in Augmented Reality
summary
SwitchAR reconstructs a room using Quest 3 photogrammetry and style transfer, adds pseudo-random noise and a virtual avatar, then imperceptibly switches the live AR feed to a VR 3D reconstruction over about three seconds to apply perceptual manipulations such as redirected walking. A prototype implements redirected walking in a controlled lab study (n=20) where nobody notices the switch and only one participant detects the manipulation, showing it works but also enabling potential misuse.
