How to Localize Ten Microphones in One Fingersnap

A compelling method to calibrate the positions of microphones in an array is with sources at unknown locations. Remarkably, it is possible to reconstruct the locations of both the sources and the receivers, if their number is larger than some prescribed mi ...

On the Benefits of a Monetary Union: Does it Pay to Be Bigger?

Chiara Forlati

This paper revisits the question of the appropriate domain of a currency area using a New-Keynesian open economy model in which the world is split in two areas, each framed as a continuum of small open regions. We show that the adoption of a common currenc ...

To a cultural perspective of mixed reality events: a case study of event overflow in operas and concerts in mixed reality

Jean-François Lucas

Mixed reality defines the sharing of a space-time between the real and the virtual world. The definition of this concept is further extended when virtual worlds such as Second Life (SL) are included. Through cultural events such as concerts and operas, we ...

An Event-Based Architecture to Manage Virtual Human Non-Verbal Communication in 3D Chatting Environment

Daniel Thalmann, Ronan Boulic, Stéphane Gobron, Junghyun Ahn, Quentin Silvestre

Non-verbal communication (NVC) makes up about two-thirds of all communication between two people or between one speaker and a group of listeners. However, this fundamental aspect of communicating is mostly omitted in 3D social forums or virtual world orien ...

Practical 3 dimensional sound reproduction using Wave Field Synthesis, theory and perceptual validation

Hervé Lissek, Xavier Falourd, Lukas Rohr

Sound ﬁeld reproduction using Wave Field Synthesis has been so far limited to the positioning of virtual sources and listeners in the horizontal plane only although the underlying formulation (Kirchhoﬀ-Helmholtz) describes the reproduction of 3 dimensional ...

Virtual Human Control for Reaching Tasks

Damien Maupu

In the framework of virtual prototyping, a virtual human is a useful tool to evaluate what one can reach or see. However because engineers and industrial designers are not necessarily skilled animators, it is important to provide intuitive or high-level in ...
