Context Aware, Multimodal, and Semantic Rendering Engine

Patrick Salamin

Nowadays, several techniques exist to render digital content such as graphics, audio, haptic, etc. Unfortunately, they require different faculties that cannot always be applied, e.g. providing a picture to a blind person would be useless. In this thesis, w ...

Quantifying effects of exposure to the third and first-person perspectives in virtual-reality-based training

Daniel Thalmann, Olaf Blanke, Patrick Salamin, Frédéric Vexo

In the recent years, usage of the third-person perspective (3PP) in virtual training methods has become increasingly viable and despite the growing interest in virtual reality and graphics underlying third-person perspective usage, not many studies have sy ...

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 ...

Intelligent switch: An algorithm to provide the best third-person perspective in augmented reality

Daniel Thalmann, Patrick Salamin, Frédéric Vexo

Augmented reality (AR) environments are suffering from a limited workspace. In addition, registration issues are also increased by the use of a mobile camera on the user that provides a first-person perspective (1PP). Using several fixed cameras reduces th ...
