    • Panoramic Video Techniques for Improving Presence in Virtual Environments 

      Dalvandi, Arefe; Riecke, Bernhard E.; Calvert, Tom (The Eurographics Association, 2011)
      Photo-realistic techniques that use sequences of images captured from a real environment can be used to create virtual environments (VEs). Unlike 3D modelling techniques, the required human work and computation are independent ...

    • A Panoramic Walkthrough System with Occlusion Culling 

      Yang, Lining; Crawfis, Roger (The Eurographics Association, 2003)
      The interactive and high quality rendering of very complex scenes in a virtual environment is very difficult if not impossible to achieve. This research extends our previous EGVE paper that presents a panoramic walkthrough ...

      This paper presents the Projector-based, Desktop, Reach-In Virtual Environment, or PDRIVE. A PDRIVE user reaches in to the virtual environment, which he views through a mirror. Stereo images are generated by two standard, ...

    • Perception and Mental Rotation of 3D-Freeform Surfaces in an Immersive Projection System 

      Gaggioli, Andrea; Breining, Ralf (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
      This paper reports on three experiments performed to examine the effects of different visualization techniques of 3D computer-generated freeform surfaces on subjects perceptual and cognitive performance while doing ...

    • Personalized Animatable Avatars from Depth Data 

      Mashalkar, Jai; Bagwe, Niket; Chaudhuri, Parag (The Eurographics Association, 2013)
      Abstract We present a method to create virtual character models of real users from noisy depth data. We use a combination of four depth sensors to capture a point cloud model of the person. Direct meshing of this data often ...

    • PHANToM Haptic Device Implemented in a Projection Screen Virtual Environment 

      Fischer, A.; Vance, J. M. (The Eurographics Association, 2003)
      This research combines the PHANToM 1.5 haptic device with a six-sided projection screen virtual environment in order to explore the benefits haptic devices bring to this type of immersive environment. The PHANToM is placed ...

    • Physical Space Requirements for Redirected Walking: How Size and Shape Affect Performance 

      Azmandian, Mahdi; Grechkin, Timofey; Bolas, Mark; Suma, Evan (The Eurographics Association, 2015)
      Redirected walking provides a compelling solution to explore large virtual environments in a natural way. However, research literature provides few guidelines regarding trade-offs involved in selecting size and layout for ...

    • A 'plug and play' approach to testing virtual environment interaction techniques 

      Willans, James S.; Harrison, Michael D. (The Eurographics Association, 2000)
      It is generally agreed that the usability of virtual environment interaction techniques is very poor. One reason for this is because toolkits used by virtual environment developers supply a small number of predefined ...

    • Positioning of Subtitles in Cinematic Virtual Reality 

      Rothe, Sylvia; Tran, Kim; Hussmann, Heinrich (The Eurographics Association, 2018)
      Cinematic Virtual Reality has been increasing in popularity in recent years.Watching 360 degree movies with a head mounted display, the viewer can freely choose the direction of view and thus the visible section of the ...

    • Practical Calibration Procedures for Augmented Reality 

      Fuhrmann, Anton; Schmalstieg, Dieter; Purgathofer, Werner (The Eurographics Association, 2000)
      Augmented Reality overlays computer generated images over the real world. This requires precise knowledge of the viewing projection of the headmounted display (HMD) and its position. Most of the previously published methods ...
