A Modular Framework for Distributed VR Interaction Processing
(The Eurographics Association, 2009)
Interactions are a key part of Virtual Reality systems and can lead to complex software assembly for multi-modal and multi-site collaborative environments. This is even harder, when each participant is interacting in the ...
Desktop Integration in Graphics Environments
(The Eurographics Association, 2009)
In this paper, we present the usage of the Remote Desktop Protocol to integrate arbitrary, legacy applications in various environments. This approach accesses a desktop on a real computer or within a virtual machine. The ...
Basic Characteristics of Shear Tactile Stimulus Generated by Rotating Contactors
(The Eurographics Association, 2009)
This paper describes the characteristics of haptic sensation that is evoked at the finger skin by a shearing stimulus presented using rotational contactors. First, the relation among the contact area, the contact force and ...
Markerless Visual Tracking for Augmented Books
(The Eurographics Association, 2009)
An augmented book is an application that augments such multimedia elements as virtual 3D objects, movie clips, or sound clips to a real book using AR technologies. It is intended to bring additional education effects or ...
Role of Force-cues in Path Following of 3D Trajectories in Virtual Reality
(The Eurographics Association, 2009)
This paper examines the effect of adding haptic force cues (simulated inertia, compensation of gravity) during 3D-path following in large immersive virtual reality environments. Thirty-four participants were asked to follow ...
3-Hand Manipulation of Virtual Objects
(The Eurographics Association, 2009)
In this paper we introduce a new 3D interaction technique called '3-Hand Manipulation', for multi-user collaborative manipulation of 3D objects. The 3-Hand Manipulation relies on the use of three manipulation points that ...
Characteristics of Perception of Stiffness by Varied Tapping Velocity and Penetration in Using Event-Based Haptic
(The Eurographics Association, 2009)
There are many works that uses event-based haptic to improve realism. We intend to investigate how the hardness presentation improves using event-based haptic, and how the perception of stiffness varies through presented ...
Opportunistic Music
(The Eurographics Association, 2009)
While mixed reality has inspired the development of many new musical instruments, few approaches explore the potential of mobile setups. We present a new musical interaction concept, called opportunistic music. It allows ...
Echocardiogram Simulator based on Computer-Simulated Heart
(The Eurographics Association, 2009)
In this paper, we report our approaches to implementing an echocardiography simulator for medical training. The simulator provides experience of diagnosis by echocardiography using normal and endoscope probes; the user ...
Tree-shaded screen: A Propeller type screen for Public Art
(The Eurographics Association, 2009)
Tree-shaded screen is a novel artwork for the public space. One can also think of it as a novel virtual reality system. The artwork consists of a surround couch, a column, and a propeller with six blades. When we sit down ...
