With the growing interest in virtual reality, mid-air ground navigation is becoming a fundamental interaction for a large collection of application scenarios. While classical input devices (e.g., mouse/keyboard, gamepad, ...

Spherical images contain full 360 visual information of recorded locations. By sharing such an image, it is possible to reproduce immersive sense of a remote location. This paper proposes a remote home appliances control ...

We present the results of two studies to quantify the effects of bezels LHRDs on human eye movements and on saliency algorithm predictions. Subjects observe natural images on two different display systems, with and without ...

To support a bedridden person, we propose a novel teaching method for a caregiving robot to manipulate a physical object in a real world. User's instruction can be intuitively transmitted to the robot by the ''drag-and-drop'' ...

Large-scale tasks in the field, such as site investigation or civil engineering projects, require workers to have a certain level of situational awareness. However, the coverage area is too broad to investigate at once in ...

The intelligence within these systems has been developed so that the products are autonomous. Among them, we especially focused on the air conditioning control with smart products. This paper proposes a smart fan robot ...

This paper discuss an image presenting method that projects information on an inner wall of a car in order to raise safety by using RPT(Retro-reflective Projection Technology). In previous research, we can see through the ...

The visually-induced pseudo-haptic is a type of haptic illusion induced by a visual stimulus. This phenomenon is con-sidered to be helpful in formation of a haptic (force) display without using actuators. It is believed ...

Large-scale simulations in HPC environments produce massive data sets in the order of several terabytes which pose challenges both to data storage and data analysis. A promising approach for reducing the amount of data ...

In accordance with the space exploration goals declared by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in 2010 and 2013, the investigation of the deeper solar system becomes a central objective for upcoming ...
