    • Materiality Manipulation by Light-Field Projection from Reflectance Analysis 

      Murakami, Kouki; Amano, Toshiyuki (The Eurographics Association, 2018)
      In this paper, we report a method for changing the appearance of an object to different colors as a function of viewing perspective with multiple projectors and cameras. If such appearance manipulation becomes possible, ...

    • A Novel Approach for Cooperative Motion Capture (COMOCAP) 

      Welch, Gregory; Wang, Tianren; Bishop, Gary; Bruder, Gerd (The Eurographics Association, 2018)
      Conventional motion capture (MOCAP) systems, e.g., optical systems, typically perform well for one person, but less so for multiple people in close proximity. Measurement quality can decline with distance, and even drop ...

    • Positioning of Subtitles in Cinematic Virtual Reality 

      Rothe, Sylvia; Tran, Kim; Hussmann, Heinrich (The Eurographics Association, 2018)
      Cinematic Virtual Reality has been increasing in popularity in recent years.Watching 360 degree movies with a head mounted display, the viewer can freely choose the direction of view and thus the visible section of the ...

    • Safe Walking Zones: Visual Guidance for Redirected Walking in Confined Real-World Spaces 

      Lubos, Paul; Bruder, Gerd; Steinicke, Frank (The Eurographics Association, 2018)
      Walking is usually considered the most natural form of self-motion in a virtual environment (VE). However, the confined physical workspace of typical virtual reality (VR) labs often prevents natural exploration of larger ...

    • Scalable Autostereoscopic Display with Temporal Division Method 

      Kurogi, Tadatoshi; Nii, Hideaki; Peiris, Roshan Lalintha; Minamizawa, Kouta (The Eurographics Association, 2018)
      Science-fiction has frequently depicted people directly interacting with life-size autostereoscopic images projected from the walls of buildings in public places. In this paper, we present a large modularized autostereoscopic ...

    • A Scoping Review Exploring the Feasibility of Virtual Reality Technology Use with Individuals Living with Dementia 

      Rose, Vienna; Stewart, Inga; Jenkins, Keith G.; Ang, Chee Siang; Matsangidou, Maria (The Eurographics Association, 2018)
      The existing evidence base in relation to the feasibility of using Virtual Reality technology systems with individuals living with a dementia appeared limited and was therefore explored. The research was collected and ...

    • Soft Finger-tip Sensing Probe Based on Haptic Primary Colors 

      Kato, Fumihiro; Inoue, Yasuyuki; Tachi, Susumu (The Eurographics Association, 2018)
      This paper describes a novel tactile sensing probe based on haptic primary colors (HPCs) and a tactile classifying system. We developed a finger-type soft tactile probe incorporating a sensor to measure three physical ...

    • A Study on AR Authoring using Mobile Devices for Educators 

      Chu, Kinfung; Lu, Weiquan; Oka, Kiyoshi; Takashima, Kazuki; Kitamura, Yoshifumi (The Eurographics Association, 2018)
      Augmented Reality (AR) on consumer devices is now commonplace and it finds application in areas like online retail and gaming. Among which, school education can especially benefit from the interactivity and expressiveness ...

    • Studying Levels of Presence in a Virtual Environment Simulating Drug Use in Schools: Effect on Different Character Perspectives 

      Christofi, Maria; Baka, Evangelia; Stavroulia, Kalliopi Evangelia; Michael-Grigoriou, Despina; Lanitis, Andreas; Thalmann, Nadia Magnenat (The Eurographics Association, 2018)
      This paper studies the aspect of presence in a Virtual Reality (VR) environment that can be used for training purposes in the education sector and more specifically for teacher training and professional development. During ...

    • A Touch Panel for Presenting Softness with Visuo-Haptic Interaction 

      Murata, Karen A.; Oishi, Erika; Nakamura, Takuto; Kajimoto, Hiroyuki; Tanaka, Nobuya; Sano, Takahiro; Naya, Masayuki (The Eurographics Association, 2018)
      This paper proposes a system capable of presenting softness using a touch panel. Many studies of touch panel-based haptic displays have developed methods for manipulating macro-roughness (shape), fine-roughness (texture), ...

    • Usability of Augmented Reality in Aeronautic Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul 

      Fischini, Antoine; Ababsa, Fakhreddine; Grasser, Mickaël (The Eurographics Association, 2018)
      Augmented Reality (AR) is a strong growing research topic in several areas including industry, training, art and entertainment. AR can help users to achieve very complex tasks by enhancing their vision with useful and ...

    • Verification of Necessity of Equivalent Gravity in Telexistence With Scale Conversion for Utilization of Humanoid Small Robot 

      Matsumoto, Kohei; Furukawa, Masahiro; Wada, Kosuke; Kurokawa, Masataka; Miyamoto, Hiroki; Maeda, Taro (The Eurographics Association, 2018)
      According to the concept of telexistence, even telexistence with scale conversion requires control of a robot to maintain the same attitude as that of the operator. However, a mismatch arises between the posture of a person ...

    • Virtual Fixtures in VR - Perceptual Overlays for Assisted Teleoperation, Teleprogramming and Learning 

      Krupke, Dennis; Zhang, Jianwei; Steinicke, Frank (The Eurographics Association, 2018)
