Providing the best Third-Person Perspective to a Video-Through HMD

Daniel Thalmann, Patrick Salamin, Frédéric Vexo

This paper describes a system with several fixed cameras that provide Third-Person Perspective (3PP) to the video-through HMD of the user. Once done, our system uses an algorithm to make intelligent switches between the different cameras in order to provid ...

Improved Third-Person Perspective: a solution reducing occlusion of the 3PP?

Daniel Thalmann, Patrick Salamin, Frédéric Vexo

Pre-existing researches [Salamin et al. 2006] showed that Third-Person Perspective (3PP) enhances user navigation in 3D virtual environments by reducing proprio-perception issues. Nevertheless, this approach has shown drawbacks related to occlusions and ad ...

Two-arm haptic force-feedbacked aid for the shoulder and elbow telerehabilitation

Daniel Thalmann, Patrick Salamin, Frédéric Vexo

In this paper, we present a telerehabilitation system aiming to help the physiotherapists for the shoulder and elbow treatment. It is based on a two-arm haptic force feedback to avoid excessive efforts and discomfort with the spinal column. This system, re ...
