    • Real-time Color Ball Tracking for Augmented Reality 

      Sýkora, Daniel; Sedlácek, David; Riege, Kai (The Eurographics Association, 2008)
      In this paper, we introduce a light-weight and robust tracking technique based on color balls. The algorithm builds on a variant of randomized Hough transform and is optimized for a use in real-time applications like on ...

    • Selective Stylization for Visually Uniform Tangible AR 

      Fischer, Jan; Flohr, Daniel; Straßer, Wolfgang (The Eurographics Association, 2008)
      In tangible user interfaces, physical props are used for direct interaction with a computer system. Tangible interaction applications often use augmented reality display techniques in order to overlay virtual graphical ...

    • Spotlight Interest Management for Distributed Virtual Environments 

      Dunwell, Ian; Whelan, John C. (The Eurographics Association, 2008)
      This paper presents a novel refinement to visual attention-based interest management in distributed virtual environments (VEs). It is suggested that in the context of a desktop VE where only limited immersion occurs, using ...

    • Supervision of 3D Multimodal Rendering for Protein-protein Virtual Docking 

      Bouyer, Guillaume; Bourdot, Patrick (The Eurographics Association, 2008)
      Protein-Protein docking is a recent practice in biological research which involves using 3D models of proteins to predict the structure of complexes formed by these proteins. Currently, the most common methods used for ...

    • Tangible Interaction for 3D Widget Manipulation in Virtual Environments 

      Kruszynski, Krzysztof J.; Liere, Robert van (The Eurographics Association, 2008)
      In this paper we explore the usage of tangible controllers for the manipulation of 3D widgets in scientific visualization applications. Tangible controllers can be more efficient than unrestricted 6-DOF devices, since many ...

    • Using Teleporting, Awareness and Multiple Views to Improve Teamwork in Collaborative Virtual Environments 

      Dodds, Trevor J.; Ruddle, Roy A. (The Eurographics Association, 2008)
      Mobile Group Dynamics (MGDs) are a suite of techniques that help people work together in large-scale col- laborative virtual environments (CVEs). The present paper describes the implementation and evaluation of three ...

    • A View Management Method for Mobile Mixed Reality Systems 

      Shibata, Fumihisa; Nakamoto, Hiroyuki; Sasaki, Ryoichi; Kimura, Asako; Tamura, Hideyuki (The Eurographics Association, 2008)
      This paper describes a view management method for annotations on mobile mixed reality systems. In recent years, mobile devices, such as mobile phones and PDAs, have rapidly gained popularity. Thus, MR systems using mo- ...
