Animating 3D characters requires extensive practice and learning to achieve realistic outcomes. To address this challenge, we present TimeTunnel Live, an animation authoring interface for recording and editing motion in Virtual Reality. TimeTunnel Live ...

Editing character motion in Virtual Reality is challenging as it requires working with both spatial and temporal data using controls with multiple degrees-of-freedom. The spatial and temporal controls are separated, making it difficult to adjust poses ...

Understanding users’ subjective feelings is vital for Virtual Reality (VR) research, and questionnaire is one of the common used approaches to obtain subjective feedback. Embedding questionnaires into VR systems has been shown effective in reducing the ...

Free-hand mid-air Qwerty enables entering text in virtual reality without the use of controllers. However, it is much slower and more error prone than its physical counterpart, primarily due to the absence of haptic feedback and reduced spatial ...

We present a new approach for modelling musculoskeletal anatomy. Unlike previous methods, we do not model individual muscle shapes as geometric primitives (polygonal meshes, NURBS etc.). Instead, we adopt a volumetric segmentation approach where every ...

Recent developments in human machine interaction offer three principal different approaches to interact with 3D environments, namely: 2D overlays using icons, 3D interfaces resembling interactions of the real world and speech ...

Bringing cinematic experiences from traditional film screens into Virtual Reality (VR) has become increasingly popular in recent years. However, striking a balance between storytelling and user interaction can cause a big challenge for filmmakers. ...

Successful navigation in a teleoperation scenario requires a good level of situational or environmental awareness. This paper presents the main features and capabilities of a new augmented virtuality-based system aimed at providing users with improved ...

When attending a conference some audiences lose attention following points on the screen. Although presenters usually use a pointer rod or a laser pointer, they are not convenient or easily visible on a large screen. A camera and another screen are also ...

This research explores a novel hybrid interface which dynamically links a virtual reality based 3D interface object with multiple hypertext webpages. The tree or network structured 3D graphic object named I-Sphere, consists of multiple nodes and links ...

The Joyman is an interface dedicated to the navigation in virtual worlds. It is based on the metaphor of a "human-scale joystick". By leaning himself in the corresponding direction, the user controls his virtual locomotion. The Joyman exploits the human ...

We study interaction modalities for mobile devices (smartphones and tablets) that rely on a camera-based head tracking. This technique defines new possibilities for input and output interaction. For output, by computing the position of the device ...

This paper presents ZeroN, a new tangible interface element that can be levitated and moved freely by computer in a three dimensional space. ZeroN serves as a tangible rep-resentation of a 3D coordinate of the virtual world through which users can see, ...

Recommender systems in e-commerce applications help consumers with information useful to decide which products to purchase, suggesting products, services, and information items to potential consumers. Nowadays recommender systems interfaces are more ...

This paper presents a system to track position and orientation of a generic mobile device equipped with a camera using a set of variable size fiducial markers. The system provides six degrees-of-freedom (6-DOF) by tracking fiducial markers through the ...

Mobile devices such as the iPhone provide state of the art interaction capabilities also for web browser applications. Our mobile development is targeted to a Energy Awareness application that provides playful access to detailed and realtime information ...

This article presents a hand-held interface system for 3D interaction with digital media contents. The system is featured with 1) tracking of the full 6 degrees-of-freedom position and orientation of a hand-held controller, 2) robust gesture recognition ...

Mastermind was created in the seventies, when an Israeli telecommunications expert called Mordecai Meirowitz created a new cunning and logic game. A Mastermind session played by human players is typically short as it takes about twenty minutes. Such ...

Motivation -- To design virtual environments that support collaborative activities.

Research approach -- An experimental approach in which 44 students were asked to work in pairs to reconstruct five 3D figures.

Findings/Design -- The results show that ...

Current virtual workspaces such as window managers and virtual environments impose unnecessary constraints on both users and developers. This research focusses on the development of a flexible 3D workspace environment that runs on commodity hardware but ...
