Influence of Path Complexity on Spatial Overlap Perception in Virtual Environments
(The Eurographics Association, 2015)
Real walking in large virtual indoor environments within a limited real world workspace requires effective spatial compression methods. These methods should be unnoticed by the user. Scene manipulation that creates overlapping ...
Yther: A Proposal and Initial Prototype of a Virtual Reality Content Sharing System
(The Eurographics Association, 2015)
There are many virtual reality development tools, but we argue that none has solved the disparate problems of ease of content creation, openness of access for developers and broad support for a variety of immersive and ...
The Stretchable Arms for Collaborative Remote Guiding
(The Eurographics Association, 2015)
The help of a remote expert to guide an agent in performing a physical task can be advantageous in many ways: saving time and money by avoiding travel, and thus increasing the rate of intervention. In many situations, the ...
Bimanual Haptic Simulation of Bone Fracturing for the Training of the Bilateral Sagittal Split Osteotomy
(The Eurographics Association, 2015)
In this work, we present a haptic training simulator for a maxillofacial procedure comprising the controlled breaking of the lower mandible. To our knowledge the haptic simulation of fracture is seldom addressed, especially ...
Anthropomorphism and Illusion of Virtual Body Ownership
(The Eurographics Association, 2015)
In this paper we present a novel experiment to explore the impact of avatar realism on the illusion of virtual body ownership (IVBO) in immersive virtual environments, with full-body avatar embodiment and freedom of ...
How to Time Travel in Highly Immersive Virtual Reality
(The Eurographics Association, 2015)
What would it be like to be able to time travel to the past, meet your previous self, and override your previous actions in order to achieve a better outcome? While we cannot (yet?) achieve physical time travel, digital ...
Mutual Proximity Awareness in Immersive Multi-User Virtual Environments with Real Walking
(The Eurographics Association, 2015)
Are users aware of each other in an immersive multi-user virtual environment if they cannot see or hear each other? We present a study on users' awareness of other users who share the same physical space. The goal of our ...
Development of Mutual Telexistence System using Virtual Projection of Operator's Egocentric Body Images
(The Eurographics Association, 2015)
In this paper, a mobile telexistence system that provides mutual embodiment of user's body in a remote place is discussed. A fully mobile slave robot was designed and developed to deliver visual and motion mapping with ...
Effectiveness of Spatial Coherent Remote Drive Experience with a Telexistence Backhoe for Construction Sites
(The Eurographics Association, 2015)
In this paper, a spatial coherent remote driving system was designed and implemented to operate a telexistence backhoe over a wireless network. Accordingly, we developed a 6 degrees of Freedom (DOF) slave robot that can ...
Roles in Collaborative Virtual Environments for Training
(The Eurographics Association, 2015)
In this paper we present a novel approach to role modelling for Collaborative Virtual Environments with an Action Oriented Scenario Engine. Our role model is able to take into account different data about the actions such ...
