    • Näprä - Affordable Fingertip Tracking with Ultrasound 

      Reunanen, M.; Palovuori, K.; Ilmonen, T.; Mäkelä, W. (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      In this paper we present Näprä, a novel tracking device suitable for fine motor interaction. The motivation for building the device was the need to track users' fingertips in an immersive free-hand drawing environment. ...

    • Optical Tracking and Calibration of Tangible Interaction Devices 

      Rhijn, Arjen van; Mulder, Jurriaan D. (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      In this paper, a novel optical tracking and object calibration system is presented for the recognition and pose estimation of tangible interaction devices for virtual and augmented reality systems. The calibration system ...

    • Pseudo-Physical Interaction with a Virtual Car Interior in Immersive Environments 

      Moehring, Mathias; Froehlich, Bernd (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      The use of Virtual Reality technology for the product engineering process in the automotive industry has a lot of potential in particular in the area of usability and reachability studies. We analyzed the manipulation ...

    • Real-time Deformation of Detailed Geometry Based on Mappings to a Less Detailed Physical Simulation on the GPU 

      Mosegaard, J.; Sørensen, T. S. (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      Modern graphics processing units (GPUs) can be effectively used to solve physical systems. To use the GPU optimally, the discretization of the physical system is often restricted to a regular grid. When grid values represent ...

    • Reducing Fragmentation in Telecollaboration by Using IPT Interfaces 

      Roberts, D.; Al-Liabi, M.; Wolff, R.; Otto, O.; Al-Khalifah, A. (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      Telecommunication systems, such as AccessGrid, allow collaboration across a distributed team. However, these systems typically introduce fragmentation into the view of the shared environment. Many have found that IPT systems ...

    • Running Large VR Applications on a PC Cluster: the FlowVR Experience 

      Allard, Jérémie; Ménier, Clément; Boyer, Edmond; Raffin, Bruno (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      In this paper, we present how FlowVR enables the development of modular and high performance VR applications running on a PC cluster. FlowVR is a middleware we specifically developed targeting distributed interactive ...

    • Tangible 3D: Hand Gesture Interaction for Immersive 3D Modeling 

      Kim, Hyosun; Albuquerque, Georgia; Havemann, Sven; Fellner, Dieter W. (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      Most of all interaction tasks relevant for a general three-dimensional virtual environment can be supported by 6DOF control and grab/select input. Obviously a very efficient method is direct manipulation with bare hands, ...

    • Towards a general concept for distributed visualisation of simulations in Virtual Reality environments 

      J.Metze,; Neidhold, B.; Wacker, M. (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      We present a concept for Virtual Reality-Systems that allows easy design and implementation of applications in virtual environments as well as fast integration of new hardware and software components into an existing system ...

    • Towards Better Quality in Virtual Environments 

      Mannuß, F.; Hinkenjann, A. (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      This paper describes the work done at our Lab to improve visual and other quality of Virtual Environments. To be able to achieve better quality we built a new Virtual Environments framework called basho. basho is a renderer ...

    • Using a single Spatial light modulator for stereoscopic images of high color quality and resolution 

      Hopp, Armin (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      Since stereoscopy is a fundamental part of an immersive display, stereoscopic imaging has been part of many research papers and patents in the past. There have been different approaches developed to generate and transport ...

    • Virtual Pockets in Virtual Reality 

      Ilmonen, Tommi; Reunanen, Markku (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      This paper presents the use of the virtual pocket user interface metaphor in virtual environments (VEs). Virtual pockets act like real-world pockets ó the user can put tools into pockets and select them with simple gestures. ...
