Abstract Augmented reality superimposes digital information onto objects in the physical world and enables multi-user collaboration. Despite that previous proxemic interaction research has explored many applications of user-object distance and user-user distance in an augmented reality context, respectively, and combining both types of distance can improve the efficiency of users’ perception and interaction with task objects and collaborators by providing users with insight into spatial relations of user-task object and user-user, less is concerned about how the two types of distances can be simultaneously adopted to assist collaboration tasks across multi-users. To fulfill the gap, we present UOUU, the user-object distance… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract The buoyancy of groundwater can reduce the foundation bearing capacity and cause the metro tunnels to float as a whole, which threatens the safety of structures seriously. Therefore, uplift piles are set up to improve the structural stability. In this paper, FLAC3D software is used to establish the calculation models of pile foundation. The bearing failure process of uplift piles was simulated to study the influencing factors on single pile load bearing capacity as well as the cooperative work laws of pile groups. The load-displacement curves of pile top under different length-diameter ratios, pile-soil interface characteristics and pile types are… More >
