Abstract

Headmounted displays (HMDs) are evaluated as a tool to facilitate studentteacher interaction in sign language. Deaf or hardofhearing children who communicate in sign language receive all instruction visually. In normal deaf educational settings the child must split visual attention between signed narration and visual aids. Settings in which visual aids are distributed over a large visual area are particularly difficult. Sign language displayed in HMDs may allow a deaf child to keep the signed narration in sight, even when not looking directly at the person signing. Children from the community who communicate primarily in American Sign Language (ASL) participated in two phases of a study designed to evaluate the comfort and utility of viewing ASL in an HMD.

Thinning trainer based on forest-growth model, virtual reality and computer-aided virtual environment

Immersive virtual reality is applied in many human activities. This virtual reality can be used as a training tool for thinning operations in forests. The aim of this study is to describe the complex solution of Thinning Trainer, that we developed. This ...
Natural Perspective Projections for Head-Mounted Displays

The display units integrated in today's head-mounted displays (HMDs) provide only a limited field of view (FOV) to the virtual world. In order to present an undistorted view to the virtual environment (VE), the perspective projection used to render the ...
