Simulation of a Virtual Reality Environment for Cognitive and Motoric Testing with Unity and a Mechanical Treadmill
(The Eurographics Association, 2021)
In many virtual reality applications the movement is done with simple pointing and teleportation to the designated location. On the other side there is a need of combining treadmill walking with virtual reality environments ...
A Virtual Geographic Environment for the Exploration of Hydro-Meteorological Extremes
(The Eurographics Association, 2021)
We propose a Virtual Geographic Environment for the exploration of hydro-meteorological events. Focussing on the catchment of the Müglitz River in south-eastern Germany, a large collection of observation data acquired via ...
Partial Finger Involvement Reflects into Grasping Tasks Performance and Accuracy
(The Eurographics Association, 2020)
This paper presents a user study comparing a grasping algorithm we adapted for the Valve Index controller to common grasping approaches using the HTC Vive Wand or the Oculus Quest's Computer Vision-based finger tracking. ...
Effect of Motion and Hand Shape of a Massage Robot on Social Impression: Exploratory study in a Virtual Environment
(The Eurographics Association, 2020)
We aimed to investigate the effects of motion pattern and hand shape on social impressions of a massage robot. The experiment was performed in a virtual environment as an exploratory study. Participants observed a massage ...
The Spectare Device for Experiencing Stereoscopic Photographs -- Best Poster Award
(The Eurographics Association, 2021)
Stereoscopic photography was one of the main forms of visual communication in the second half of the 19th century, leaving even today an important impact on our visual culture. In this work, we have re-imagined the classical ...
Empathy with Human's and Robot's Embarrassments in Virtual Environments
(The Eurographics Association, 2020)
We feel embarrassed not only when we are embarrassed but also when we are watching others embarrassed. Humans show empathy for pain not only human others but also robots. However, it has not been investigated whether humans ...
A Wind Interaction System from the Real to the Virtual World
(The Eurographics Association, 2020)
We propose a wind interaction system from the real to the virtual world. Specifically, when the spectator waves the VIVE controller to the VR player, a wind is generated according to the direction and acceleration of waving ...
Immersive Analytics of Heterogeneous Biological Data Informed through Need-finding Interviews
(The Eurographics Association, 2021)
The goal of this work is to improve existing biological analysis processes by means of immersive analytics. In a first step, we conducted need-finding interviews with 12 expert biologists to understand the limits of current ...
Towards a Collaborative Experimental Environment for Graph Visualization Research in Virtual Reality
(The Eurographics Association, 2021)
Graph visualization benefit from virtual reality (VR) technology and a collaborative environment. However, implementing collaborative graph visualizations can be very resource consuming and existing prototypes cannot be ...
Estimating the Pose of a Medical Manikin for Haptic Augmentation of a Virtual Patient in Mixed Reality Training
(The Eurographics Association, 2021)
Virtual medical emergency training provides complex while safe interactions with virtual patients. Haptically integrating a medical manikin into virtual training has the potential to improve the interaction with a virtual ...
