An Application Based on Augmented Reality and Mobile Technology to Support Remote Maintenance
(The Eurographics Association, 2014)
Product maintenance is a service offered to customers which represents an interesting business for companies. Their interest is both providing a good service in terms of quality and at the same time cutting operational ...
Thinking Factory for the Future: from PLM to Augmented Reality
(The Eurographics Association, 2014)
Virtual engineering technologies become an emerging field in industry and research. Nowadays, industrials are using Virtual and Augmented Reality in different phases of their manufacturing process (advanced manufacturing ...
Pocket-size Augmented Reality System for Flight Control
(The Eurographics Association, 2014)
Head-up displays (HUDs) have become common equipment in aircraft cockpits. One of the uses of HUDs is to provide a specific visual interface for pilots in the form of what is called a "tunnel-in-the-sky" (i.e. 3D geometry ...
Towards a New Platform Paradigm for Synergetic Virtual Environments
(The Eurographics Association, 2014)
Most of today's Virtual Reality system architectures follow visualization-centric data paradigms, using hierarchical data structures typically containing static content. As one of the future's - and even today's - key ...
Simpler Interfaces for Better 3D Simulation
(The Eurographics Association, 2014)
As a company providing VR professionals with the immersive visualization and interaction devices they require for their daily tasks, we are witnessing the limitations of existing expert user interfaces that do not address ...
A.C.T.I.V.E.: A Scalable Superellipsoid-based CFD Visualization for Virtual and Desktop Environments
(The Eurographics Association, 2014)
The paper presents a flexible software (A.C.T.I.V.E.) able to visualize the superellipsoidal glyphs describing the orientation of short fibres during the dynamic process of casting a short fibre reinforced composite in a ...
A New Fast and Robust Collision Detection and Force Computation Algorithm Applied to the Physics Engine Bullet: Method, Integration, and Evaluation
(The Eurographics Association, 2014)
We present a collision detection and force computation algorithm based on the Voxelmap-Pointshell Algorithm which was integrated and evaluated in the physics engine Bullet. Our algorithm uses signed distance fields and ...
To Feedback or not to Feedback - the Value of Haptics in Virtual Reality Surgical Training
(The Eurographics Association, 2014)
As surgical procedures become more complex; require higher levels of precision and surgical skill; as patient safety is taking in an increasingly important place and ethical awareness, practicality and cost, rule out more ...
New Techniques for Hand Pose Estimation Based on Kinect Depth Data
(The Eurographics Association, 2014)
In this paper we present new techniques for extension and improvement of approaches to markerless 3D hand pose estimation: A new algorithm for finger segmentation in point clouds of hands is presented which makes use of ...
Interactive Visualization of Energy Efficiency Concepts Using Virtual Reality
(The Eurographics Association, 2014)
Virtual reality is an important topic for the engineers of tomorrow. This is especially the case when it comes to modeling, visualization and interaction with complex information structures and concepts. The paper presents ...
