Augmented White Cane with Multimodal Haptic Feedback

Hannes Bleuler, Dominique Chapuis, Simon Gallo, Roger Gassert, Laura Santos Carreras

This paper proposes an instrumented handle with multimodal augmented haptic feedback, which can be integrated into a conventional white cane to extend the haptic exploration range of visually impaired users. The information extracted from the environment t ...

Human-Computer Interface Issues in Controlling Virtual Reality With Brain-Computer Interface

Robert Leeb, Mel Slater

We have integrated the Graz brain-computer interface (BCI) system with a highly immersive virtual reality (VR) Cave-like system. This setting allows for a new type of experience, whereby participants can control a virtual world using imagery of movement. H ...

Multimodal Speaker Localization from Omnidirectional Videos

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Mihai Gurban, Pascal Reuse

The use of omnidirectional cameras for videoconferencing promises to simplify the hardware setup necessary for large groups of participants. We investigate the use of a multimodal speaker detection algorithm on audio-visual sequences captured with such a c ...

Head Mounted Wind

Daniel Thalmann, Frédéric Vexo, Sylvain Cardin

Within the context of tele-presence and immersion for piloting light aircraft, knowledge about the surrounding wind offers useful information for piloting purposes. Rendering wind in virtual simulation or tele-presence application has been used still the e ...

A Distributed Architecture for Teleoperation over the Internet with Application to the Remote Control of an Inverted Pendulum

Denis Gillet, Christophe Salzmann

This paper discusses challenges in enabling teleoperation over the Internet for the specific case of real systems which exhibit fast dynamics. A distributed client-server architecture is proposed to provide the necessary level of interactivity for supervis ...
