Mengmeng Yu, Chongke Bi, Dong Han

Abstract: Cross-reality systems provide visual representations at different levels of virtuality/physicality and offer smooth transitions between them to users. These systems also support multiple modes of interaction, and coordinate collaboration between users with multiple realities. In this paper, we explore a cross-reality 360° video social system, aiming to enable users with different personalities to get a social experience consistent with their psychological changes and behavioral habits when watching 360° video. We designed the prototype system CRVideo, conducted a preliminary user survey and a user study to research the social requirements of users and verify the effectiveness of our cross-reality system. The results show that the social habits of extroverted and introverted users in video platforms differ greatly, and the system across realistic levels can meet the psychological change curve of users in different periods.
