As Extended Reality (XR) technologies continue to mature, they offer ever more diverse, complex, and impactful experiences. This paper presents "Therapet", an augmented reality (AR) application designed for AR glasses such as the Hololens 2. Therapet presents an interactive therapeutic pet avatar-using both Volumetric Video (VV) recordings and traditionally animated rigged models-with which users can interact with by feeding, playing fetch, and petting. We conducted a pilot study to investigate usability and user preferences, revealing positive user experiences and insights into the use of (and perceptions towards) Volumetric Video based avatars for interactive AR experiences. Furthermore, we analyze the feasibility of using VV in production (where memory usage and performance are critical factors) and discuss lessons learned to create a successful AR therapeutic pet application.

Analysing and understanding brain function and disorder is the main focus of neuroscience. Due to the high complexity of the brain, directionality of the signal and changing activity over time, visual exploration and data analysis are difficult. For this reason, a vast amount of research challenges are still unsolved. We explored different challenges of the visual analysis of brain data and the design of corresponding immersive environments in collaboration with experts from the biomedical domain. We built a prototype of an immersive virtual reality environment to explore the design space and to investigate how brain data analysis can be supported by a variety of design choices. Our environment can be used to study the effect of different visualisations and combinations of brain data representation, as for example network layouts, anatomical mapping or time series. As a long-term goal, we aim to aid neuro-scientists in a better understanding of brain function and disorder.
