Research · The collection

Thirteen papers. Thirteen holo cards.

Every paper on my publication list, as a card you can tilt, flip and keep. The front is the paper. The back says what it found, in plain English.

The collection

Four foils, one for each kind of paper.

Tap or click a card, or its Flip button, to turn it over. On a computer, move your pointer across a card to catch the light. Save keeps a copy you can share.

    The Role of Display Type and Camera Perspective in Shaping VR Presence and Motion Sickness

    ACM VRSTSendai 2026
    yasassri.me/cards01/13
    What it’s about

    How the kind of display you use, and where the camera sits, shape two things in VR: how present you feel, and whether you feel sick. I present it at ACM VRST in Sendai, Japan, on 16–18 November 2026.

    Wickramasinghe, Y.S. (presenting author), et al. 32nd ACM Symposium on Virtual Reality Software and Technology (VRST 2026).

    Evaluating Spatial Decision-Making and Player Experience in a Remote Multiplayer Augmented Reality Hide-and-Seek Game

    Study 0260 participants
    yasassri.me/cards02/13
    The finding

    Hide-and-seek between players in different places, compared with playing in the same room. AR changed where people hid and searched: they used mid-air and vertical space. A lightweight view-cone cue made players feel connected without avatars or video.

    On the Impact of Augmented Reality Game Mechanics on the Player Experience in Remote Multiplayer Gameplay

    Study 0338 participants
    yasassri.me/cards03/13
    The finding

    Real-time object manipulation, particle-effect feedback and time pressure, built into remote multiplayer AR play. These core AR mechanics deepened strategic search and engagement when they came with clear feedback and well-calibrated constraints.

    yasassri.me/cards04/13
    The finding

    Study 02 at IEEE VR: location-based AR hide-and-seek between remote players, compared with co-located play. AR shifted players’ strategies toward mid-air and vertical space.

    Representing Remote Locations with Location-Based Augmented Reality Game Design

    Study 0130 participants
    yasassri.me/cards05/13
    The finding

    Three ways to show someone a remote room in AR: Window, Overlay and Tabletop. Overlay gave the strongest sense of “being there”; Window felt like the remote place extending into your own; Tabletop gave a detached, strategic overview.

    Designing Multiplayer Location-Based Augmented Reality Games that Connect Remote Players and Places

    3 studies128 participants
    yasassri.me/cards06/13
    The question

    How can augmented reality make meaningful use of the real world so remote players can play together, live? Three user studies answer it: how to represent a remote space, how players decide where to go in it, and which AR mechanics make distributed play meaningful.

    What it’s about

    When people exchange virtual items in shared AR, do they trust each other? A 36-participant study of how design choices shape that trust.
