Career Summary

Biography

Dr Zi Siang See has specialised over the past 10 years in the design, use and integration of interactive media, including but not limited to augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) research-creation. Zi has over 15 years’ experience of working within the field of interaction design and digital media in both industry and within university institutions, nationally and internationally. These include collaborations with multinational corporations such as McDonald’s, Lafarge Cement, Servier, Leo Burnett, DDB and Saatchi & Saatchi Arachnid. As an early career researcher, he has been part of various MOOC projects and been actively involved in scholarly research and international collaborations. His work has contributed to new systems, theory and studies in human-computer-interaction, education technologies and inclusive design. Some of these technical research papers were published at specialised venues such as SIGGRAPH, IEEE Virtual Systems and Multimedia (VSMM), and the Springer’s Virtual Reality. Zi is part of the International Society on Virtual Systems and Multimedia (VSMM) as a Board of Directors committee member, supporting VSMM conferences and as a reviewer, in which role he has co-organised a number of collaborations and research workshops in VSMM. He is also the guest editor and a member of the Editorial Board for Virtual Creativity (Intellect Books), a Scopus-indexed international journal focused on emerging technologies and digital creativity. Zi completed his Ph.D. at the University of Newcastle, he has trained under the guidance of Prof Lizbeth Goodman (SMARTlab), Prof Mark Billinghurst (Emphatic Computing Lab / HIT Lab NZ), and supported by A/Prof Craig Hight (SOCI). As part of the research for his doctoral thesis focused on human-computer interaction aspects of virtual reality titled Creating High Dynamic Range Spherical Panorama Images for High Fidelity 360 Degree Virtual Reality, Zi developed a method and apparatus solution for creating high fidelity virtual reality 360 (VR360) that is free from major imaging errors and obstacles. Currently, Zi is also working on extended reality (XR) research projects in digital heritage, computational photography, medical and health sciences training.

Both drones and 360-degree video (VR 360) have been attractive topics for the past decade. 360-degree videos hit Internet fame as soon as YouTube and Facebook started to adopt them into their ecosystem, which made users familiar with and intrigued by these techniques. This definitely made the camera industry race to democratize 360-degree cameras, and now we are graced with affordable, out-of-the-box 360 cameras from Samsung, Ricoh, and Garmin, to Nikon. The company DJI has been the leading drone manufacturer since their first quadcopter captivated our imagination and love of playing with remote control toys in our young age. With this same adventurous and imaginative mindset, we embarked on combining the two technologies: 360-degree cameras and aerial drones. In this article we present the development of an approach to an aerial virtual reality 360 video capture technique. We retrofitted a drone with a 360 spherical panorama camera for acquiring source aerial visual content. Our case study, as described in this article, reproduces an experiment using a 360-fly-by video for the intended use of an event launching in which user perception was being observed in terms of practicality and suitability A user study was conducted to gauge the usability of comparing aerial VR360 being experienced on hand-held multimedia tablets and head-mount-devices (HMD). We also describe the proposed configuration and workflow of aerial 360-video and identify its potential capabilities and limitations, a user evaluation study and directions for future work. In the discussion section, we share how this setup can affect the decisions of the producer, director or the director photography in achieving the creative shot that they aim to produce.

This paper presents a development of an aerial virtual reality 360 video capture approach. A drone was converted and retrofitted with a 360 spherical panorama camera for acquiring source aerial visual content. In this case study, an experiment of a 360-fly-by video was reproduced for the intended use of an event launching where user perception was being observed in terms of practicality and suitability. Utilizing a consumer 360 camera the Samsung Gear 360 and the DJI Inspire 1, it allowed the researcher to capture aerial 360-degree video. The paper documented the process of retrofitting the 360-camera onto the drone. Research findings on why certain drones are suitable for the 360-degree camera will be presented. A user study was conducted to gauge the usability for comparing aerial VR360 being experienced on hand-held multimedia tablets and head-mount-devices (HMD). In this paper we describe the proposed configuration and workflow of aerial 360-video and identifying its potential capabilities and limitation, a user evaluation study and directions for future work.
