We develop a force feedback device that generates rotational and translational resistive forces using electro-rheological (ER) gel with one-sided pattern electrodes. ER gel is a functional material in which applied electric ...

FRED's Happy Factory

Baggett, Aaron; Jaeger, Alex; Lewis, Benjamin; Wardlaw, Isaac (The Eurographics Association, 2016)

The primary driver of the recent resurgence in virtual reality has been video gaming, and while VR games are becoming an increasingly saturated market, they are likely to linger as the field's prime mover for several years ...

Functional Reactive Augmented Reality: Proof of Concept Using an Extended Augmented Desktop with Swipe Interaction

Marum, Joao Paulo Oliveira; Jones, J. Adam; Cunningham, H. Conrad (The Eurographics Association, 2016)

Functional Reactive Programing (FRP) is a new paradigm that has been evolving and used in many different fields, i.e.: robotics, user interface and others. FRP was originally developed as a programming paradigm to handle ...

Functional Reactive Virtual Reality

Blom, Kristopher J.; Beckhaus, Steffi (The Eurographics Association, 2007)

In this paper we introduce a VR system extension that focuses on the creation of interactive, dynamic Virtual Environments. The extension uses the recently developed programming concept, Functional Reactive Programming. ...

Gait Parameters while Walking in a Head-mounted Display Virtual Environment and the Real World

Mohler, Betty J.; Campos, Jennifer L.; Weyel, Michael B.; Bülthoff, Heinrich H. (The Eurographics Association, 2007)

Full-body motion tracking data was collected for six subjects during free walking. Each participant was asked to walk to a previously seen target under four experimental conditions: eyes closed within the real world, eyes ...

A Gaze-depth Estimation Technique with an Implicit and Continuous Data Acquisition for OST-HMDs

Lee, Youngho; Piumsomboon, Thammathip; Ens, Barrett; Lee, Gun A.; Dey, Arindam; Billinghurst, Mark (The Eurographics Association, 2017)

The rapid development of machine learning algorithms can be leveraged for potential software solutions in many domains including techniques for depth estimation of human eye gaze. In this paper, we propose an implicit and ...

Generation of Walking Sensation by Upper Limb Motion

Sueta, Gaku; Saka, Naoyuki; Yem, Vibol; Amemiya, Tomohiro; Kitazaki, Michiteru; Sato, Makoto; Ikei, Yasushi (The Eurographics Association, 2019)

This paper proposes a method to generate a turning walk sensation to the user by an arm swing display. We assumed a hypothesis that the turning walk sensation is generated by providing different motion profiles of passive ...

The Giant Experience: Visual Transfer Design to Virtually Extend the User's Body

Furukawa, Masahiro; Ando, Hideyuki; Maeda, Taro (The Eurographics Association, 2014)

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 ...

A GPU Ray Tracing Implementation for Triangular Grid Primitives

Buelow, Max von; Kuijper, Arjan; Fellner, Dieter W. (The Eurographics Association, 2023)

Triangular grid primitives are a new technique for more efficient handling of memory intensive meshes, also called micro meshes in recent proprietary hardware implementations. This makes it a technique with high potential ...

Ground Navigation in 3D Scenes using Simple Body Motions

Punpongsanon, Parinya; Guy, Emilie; Boubekeur, Tamy; Iwai, Daisuke; Sato, Kosuke (The Eurographics Association, 2014)

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, ...
