    • Managing Missed Interactions in Distributed Virtual Environments 

      Parkin, S. E.; Andras, P.; Morgan, G. (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      A scalable distributed virtual environment (DVE) may be achieved by ensuring virtual world objects communicate their actions to only those objects that fall within their influence, reducing the need to send and process ...

    • Measuring the Discernability of Virtual Objects in Conventional and Stylized Augmented Reality 

      Fischer, Jan; Cunningham, Douglas; Bartz, Dirk; Wallraven, Christian; Bülthoff, Heinrich; Straßer, Wolfgang (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      In augmented reality, virtual graphical objects are overlaid over the real environment of the observer. Conventional augmented reality systems normally use standard real-time rendering methods for generating the graphical ...

    • A Model for the Expected Running Time of Collision Detection using AABB Trees 

      Weller, René; Klein, Jan; Zachmann, Gabriel (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      In this paper, we propose a model to estimate the expected running time of hierarchical collision detection that utilizes AABB trees, which are a frequently used type of bounding volume (BV). We show that the average running ...

    • Model-based Hybrid Tracking for Medical Augmented Reality 

      Fischer, Jan; Eichler, Michael; Bartz, Dirk; Straßer, Wolfgang (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      Camera pose estimation is one of the most important, but also one of the most challenging tasks in augmented reality. Without a highly accurate estimation of the position and orientation of the digital video camera, it is ...

    • A Multi Modal Table-Top 3D Modeling Tool in Augmented Environments 

      Novotny, Tom; Lindt, Irma; Broll, Wolfgang (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      Even with today's highly sophisticated 3D modeling programs, creating, assembling and adapting 3D models is still a big challenge for inexperienced users. In this paper we present our approach of an intuitive table-top 3D ...

    • A New View Management Method for Wearable Augmented Reality Systems - Emphasizing the User-viewed Object and the Corresponding Annotation - 

      Tenmoku, R.; Kanbara, M.; Yokoya, N. (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      This paper describes a new view management method for annotation overlay using augmented reality(AR) systems. The proposed method emphasizes the user-viewed object and the corresponding annotation in order to present links ...

    • A Survey and Taxonomy of 3D Menu Techniques 

      Dachselt, R.; Hübner, A. (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      A huge variety of interaction techniques was developed in the field of virtual and augmented reality. Whereas techniques for object selection, manipulation, travel, and wayfinding were covered in existing taxonomies quite ...

    • Wearable Mixed Reality System In Less Than 1 Pound 

      Peternier, Achille; Vexo, Frédéric; Thalmann, Daniel (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      We have designed a wearable Mixed Reality (MR) framework which allows to real-time render game-like 3D scenes on see-through head-mounted displays (see through HMDs) and to localize the user position within a known internet ...
