      We describe a user study comparing a low cost VR system using a Head-Mounted-Display (HMD) to a desktop and another setup where the image is projected on a screen. Eighteen participants played the same game in the three ...

    • User Evaluation of Visuo-Haptic Collocation System 

      Cha, B.; Bae, Y.; Choi, W.; Ryu, J. (The Eurographics Association, 2018)
      In the encounter-type haptic display systems, visuo-haptic collocation is essential because a poorly collocated pair of virtual and real objects may hinder natural interaction. This poster presents user evaluation results ...

    • A User Guidance Approach for Passive Haptic Environments 

      Steinicke, Frank; Welzel, Hanno; Bruder, Gerd; Hinrichs, Klaus (The Eurographics Association, 2008)
      Traveling through virtual environments (VEs) by means of real walking is a challenging task since usually the size of the virtual world exceeds the size of the tracked interaction space. Redirected walking is one concept ...

    • Using Proprioception as a Cue towards Effective Spatial Input in VR: a Framework for an Experimental Study 

      Veit, Manuel; Capobianco, Antonio; Bechmann, Dominique (The Eurographics Association, 2007)
