Globe4D is an interactive four-dimensional globe. It is a projection of the Earth's surface on a physical sphere. The sphere can be freely rotated along all axes, viewed from any angle and enables the user to control time as its fourth dimension. An ...

This project establishes an interactive environment in cyberspace in which users interact with autonomous agents generated from video images of real-world creatures. Each agent has autonomy, personality traits, and behaviors that reflect the results of ...

We propose a "transparent cockpit" that is aimed toward improving the operativeness, safety, and comfort during controlling a vehicle. In the transparent cockpit, the interior appointments of the vehicle are virtually transparent; this is enabled by ...

We have proposed a system that can acquire natural and comfortable visual information and can accurately track the head motion of the person. The conventional imaging device for head-mounted display was only able to express the 3-axis rotation of the ...

The String Walker is a locomotion interface using eight strings actuated by motor-pulley mechanisms mounted on a turntable. It enables the user to walk in virtual environment while his/her position is maintained. The mechanism enables omni-directional ...

Shoot Cut & Play Camera (SCP.Camera) is an application combining a real-time montage interface and an immersive device. It provides to film-maker or camera operator an easy tool to set up their work or previsualization. User can activate actors ...

A simple inexpensive high-contrast stereo microscopic is constructed from a single video imager sensor. Two field-synchronous LEDs illuminate the subject creating disparity. The stereo microscope outputs standard field-sequential 3D video and is ...

While a great deal of computer generated imagery is modeled and rendered in 3D, the vast majority of this 3D imagery is shown on 2D displays. Various forms of 3D displays have been contemplated and constructed for at least one hundred years [Lippman ...

We present an integrated 3D capturing, visualization and user interaction system composed of a computer vision based 3D capturing device, a scene composer and a large scale holographic display. The system performs in real-time and provides the ...

Grimage glues multi-camera 3D modeling, physical simulation and parallel execution for a new immersive experience. Put your hands or any object into the interaction space. It is instantaneously modeled in 3D and injected into a virtual world populated ...

We propose a wearable haptic display to present the weight sensation of a virtual object, which is based on our novel insight that the deformation on fingerpads makes a reliable weight sensation even when the proprioceptive sensation is absent. This ...

An example of an application enhanced by the "manipulation-by-projection" technique, this cooperative game allows players to visually and intuitively control a robot with projectors. Players interchangeably move and connect their projected images to ...

BYU-BYU-View is a novel interface realized with the symbiosis of the input/output of wind and the computer graphics. "BYU-BYU" is a japanese onomatopoeia for a howling wind. It adds a new element, that is, "wind", to the direct interaction with a user ...
