Modelling and Animation of Theatrical Greek Masks in an Authoring System
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)This paper describes an authoring system for modelling Greek virtual masks that express emotions for synchronising their facial movements with pre-recorded speech files, and for creating theatrical performances. The system ... -
A Practical Vision Based Approach to Unencumbered Direct Spatial Manipulation in Virtual Worlds
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)We present a practical approach for developing interactive environments that allows humans to interact with large complex 3D models without them having to manually operate input devices. The system provides support for ... -
Form Features in Non-manifold Shapes: A First Classification and Analysis
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)During the industrial design process, a product model undergoes several analyses. One of the most common ones is the finite element analysis. This kind of analysis needs a simplified model, which can include idealised ... -
The Dance of the Air: a Case Study in Interactive Digital Art
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)This paper describes the conception and realization of an interactive art installation called The Dance of the Air . The whole process is taken as a case study for the different challenges encounteredduring the implementation ... -
"Beyond the desktop, Out of the Office..." Designing Interactive Graphics Applications for Mobile Devices
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)The recent availability of increasingly powerful PDAs and mobile phones is making it possible to develop new applications based on interactive (2D as well as 3D) graphics. However, limitations of mobile devices and the ... -
Real Positioning in Virtual Environments Using Game Engines
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)Immersive virtual environments offer a natural setting for educational and instructive experiences for users, and game engine technology offers an interesting, cost-effective and efficient solution for building them. In ... -
Techniques for Computer Assisted Surgery
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)In the recent decades robotic and computer science have been gaining more and more relevance in all aspects of our lives. In surgery, for example, they gave birth to procedures that would be impossible to perform otherwise ... -
Bringing the Semantics into Digital Shapes: the AIM@SHAPE Approach
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)This presentation describes the main objectives and achievements of the European Network of Excellence AIM@SHAPE. This NoE is aimed to advance research in the direction of semantic-based shape representations and tools ... -
Medical Visualization with New Generation Spatial 3D Displays
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)In this paper the capabilities of a modern spatial 3D display are exploited for medical visualization tasks. The systemgives multiple viewers the illusion of seeing virtual objects floating at fixed physical locations. The ... -
Human Robot Interaction in Virtual Reality
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)In this paper, we describe a framework which helps designers visualize and verify the results of robotic work cell simulation in a Virtual Environment (VE). The system aims at significantly reducing production costs and ... -
Methods for Spatial Data Quality of 3D City Models
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)3D city models are nowadays used in very different applications. Due to this, the commercial exchange and, thus, the demand for high quality data becomes more and more important. We describe a quality model that defines ... -
Flexible Multimodal Architecture for CAD Application
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)Multimodal interfaces are proved to increase the input\output bandwidth for a more efficient interaction in 3D activities. This work presents a novel framework designed to simplify the configuration procedures and to provide ... -
Patterns of Creativity in Design
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)One of the most remarkable features of the human mind is its creativity. During the course of this talk we shall be presenting some examples of the creative use of scientific models such as Chua's attractors and Cellular ... -
Collaborative Visualization of Sensor Data Through a Subscription based Architecture
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)In this paper we propose a collaborative prototype for the integration of Geographical Information System (GIS) sensor data into a distributed architecture for Virtual Reality. Sensor data of various origin and classified ... -
VR Studio: Solid Modelling in a Virtual Reality Environment
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)Today one of the most important industrial needs is to improve the design process, making it faster and more robust; of course such a requirement can be obtained by using virtual reality. In the field of mechanical design, ... -
Multiple Techniques Approach to the 3D Virtual Reconstruction of Cultural Heritage
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)According to an UNESCO survey, Italy accounts for more than half of the Cultural Heritage of the entire world. Italy's Cultural Heritage therefore represents an enormous wealth not only for the country itself but also for ... -
A Mixed Environment for Ergonomics Tests: Tuning of Stereo Viewing Parameters
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)Virtual Reality and related technologies are becoming a common practice in the design industry in general and more specifically in the automotive field. By the joined use of virtual prototyping methodologies it is possible ...
