Remote View-Dependent Rendering
(The Eurographics Association, 2001)
In this paper we are presenting a novel approach that enables rendering large-shared datasets at interactive rates on a remote inexpensive workstations. Our algorithm is based on view-dependent rendering and client-server ...
VIRPI: A High-Level Toolkit for Interactive Scientific Visualization in Virtual Reality
(The Eurographics Association, 2001)
Research areas that require interactive visualization of simulation data tend to dismiss virtual reality due to the lack of accessible tools for application specialists. This paper presents an integral toolkit for interactive ...
An Investigation into the design of an Interface for Interaction with a Virtual Environment representing a four-dimensional object
(The Eurographics Association, 2001)
Five methods of mapping the input from a six-degrees-of-freedom input device to the set of rotations available in four-dimensional space are evaluated with respect to how well they can be used to perform four-dimensional ...
Invisible Interface for the Immersive Virtual World
(The Eurographics Association, 2001)
Immersive projection technologies such as CAVE can generate a high presence virtual world. However, it is difficult for the user to experience the immersive virtual world in the real workplace, such as the design room or ...
Interactive Storytelling with Virtual Identities
(The Eurographics Association, 2001)
Stories form an integral part of our lives. Interactive storytelling enables the participant to actively explore the story world. However, interactive storytelling has problems such as the problem of narrative flow, the ...
Perception and Mental Rotation of 3D-Freeform Surfaces in an Immersive Projection System
(The Eurographics Association, 2001)
This paper reports on three experiments performed to examine the effects of different visualization techniques of 3D computer-generated freeform surfaces on subjects perceptual and cognitive performance while doing ...
Two-Handed Through-the-Lens-Techniques for Navigation in Virtual Environments
(The Eurographics Association, 2001)
We present a tool set of techniques for navigation in virtual environments. Based on a through-the-lens concept, the user is enabled to simultaneously view the surrounding virtual world and an arbitrary location of the ...
Spring-Based Manipulation Tools for Virtual Environments
(The Eurographics Association, 2001)
In this paper we present new tools for user interaction with virtual worlds, to bring more natural behavior into the manipulation of objects in virtual environments. We present some principles of physically realistic ...
Command and Control Cube : a Shortcut Paradigm for Virtual Environments
(The Eurographics Association, 2001)
New immersive virtual environments (VE) such as the Responsive WorkbenchTM provide users with a very attractive way of interacting with 3D computer-generated worlds. The feeling of immersion is one of the many advantages ...
Measuring an Illusion:The Influence of System Performance on Size Perception in Virtual Environments
(The Eurographics Association, 2001)
The effects of system performance variations on people s estimation of virtual object sizes in a multi-sided back projection virtual reality system have been explored. Seventy-seven participants adjusted the sizes of three ...
