In this paper, we will be introducing a technological solution enabling the use of multiplex imaging technique on the living room television screen. FamiLinkTV allows all the family members to enjoy an experience that goes far beyond the simple screen ...

We present BrainX³ as a novel immersive and interactive technology for exploration of large biological data, which in this paper is customized towards brain networks. Unlike traditional machine-inference systems, BrainX³ posits a two-way coupling of ...

This paper proposes "Virtual Rope Slider", which expands a rope sliding experience by stimulating sense of sight, hearing, wind and vestibular sensation. A rope slide in a real world has physical restrictions in terms of scale and location whereas our "...

This paper proposes a new system for 3D object sharing with multiple clients using networks. Our system aims to support group communication across devices over the same 3D object and puts the annotations with augmented reality automatically. In order to ...

Training in the use of robot-assisted surgery systems is necessary before a surgeon is able to perform procedures using these systems because the setup is very different from manual procedures. In addition, surgery robots are highly expensive to both ...

Driving simulation from the very beginning of the advent of VR technology uses the very same technology for visualization and similar technology for head movement tracking and high end 3D vision. They also share the same or similar difficulties in ...

This paper aims to identify and define the characteristics of 3D Real Time Tele-Immersive Environments (RT-TIE), which is central to the 3D-LIVE European Research Project. A RT-TIE allows a "twilight space" which is a space where users can be physically ...

We present an immersive VR system that allows to manipulate network data structures by creating, removing or reconfiguring their elements and export the results at any time for direct 3D printing.

Through videoconferencing, people search to interact and communicate with their remote friends or family as they were together in the same place. The influence of form variables such as screen size has been mainly investigated on the sense of physical ...

This paper tries to demonstrate a very new real-scale 3D system and sum up some firsthand and cutting edge results concerning multi-modal navigation and interaction interfaces. This work is part of the CALLISTO-SARI collaborative project. It aims at ...

In mobile applications it is crucial to provide intuitive means for 2D and 3D interaction. A large number of techniques exist to support a natural user interface (NUI) by detecting the user's hand posture in RGB+D (depth) data. Depending on a given ...

The development of systems that allow multimodal interpretation of human-machine interaction is crucial to advance our understanding and validation of theoretical models of user behavior. In particular, a system capable of collecting, perceiving and ...

The recent development of Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) to Virtual World has resulted in a growing interest in realistic visual feedback. In this paper, we investigate the potential role of Virtual Agents in neurofeedback systems, which constitute an ...

One possibility to make virtual worlds more immersive is to address as many human senses as possible. This paper presents a system for creating wind and warmth simulations in Virtual Reality (VR). Therefore, suitable hardware and an implemented software ...

The intricate web of information we generate nowadays is more massive than ever in the history of mankind. The sheer enormity of big data makes the task of extracting semantic associations out of complex networks more complicated. Stemming this "data ...

Often presented as competing products on the market of low cost 3D sensors, the Kinect™ and the Leap Motion™ (LM) can actually be complementary in some scenario. We promote, in this paper, the fusion of data acquired by both LM and Kinect sensors to ...

In this paper, we establish a roadmap of Scritter, a promising multiplex hidden imaging technology enabling multiple users to watch different contents on the same display at the same time. After explaining how we adapted Scritter to current home display ...

We describe the design of an interactive shop window created and installed for use in an independent teahouse. Using cameras to track the gestures of customers on the street front, the system allowed visitors to interact with an animatronic character ...

This paper introduces an interface that helps understand the correspondence between the patient and medical images. Surgeons determine the extent of resection by using tomographic images such as MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) data. However, ...

This paper presents a new technique for automatic, interactive 3D subdomaining coupled to mesh and simulation refinements in order to enhance local resolutions of CAE domains. Numerical simulations have become crucial during the product development ...
