A Stand-Alone Augmented Reality Intervention for Chronic Pain using Embodied Systolic Stimulation

Andrea Serino, Robert Leeb, Oliver Alan Kannape, Skander Mensi, Sylvain Cardin, Fabien Bourban, Alexis Dorier

Chronic pain presents a tremendous personal, societal, and financial burden. Treatment options are often limited to managing symptoms as opposed to treating the causes, and the consequences of pharmacological treatments can be immensely harmful as evidence ...

Virtual reality intervention alleviates dyspnoea in patients recovering from COVID-19 pneumonia

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Florian Lance, Oliver Alan Kannape, Sylvain Cardin, Sophie Jacqueline Andrée Betka, Jemina Fasola, Aline Schmit

Background Immersive virtual reality (iVR)-based digital therapeutics are gaining clinical attention in the field of pain management. Based on known analogies between pain and dyspnoea, we investigated the effects of visual respiratory feedback on persiste ...

Application of Tactile Perception Enhancement

Sylvain Cardin

Surrounding environment is mainly perceived through sight and hearing. Our sense of touch is mostly dedicated to explore the surface of objects using hands and fingers. Tactile sensitivity of the body skin is rather limited in common life, however this rep ...

Enhancing Pilot Performance with a SymBodic System

Daniel Thalmann, Dario Floreano, Walter Karlen, Sylvain Cardin

Increased fatigue of pilots during long flights can place both humans and machine at high risk. In this paper, we describe our research on a SymBodic (SYMbiotic BODies) system designed to minimize pilot fatigue in a simulated 48 hour mission. The system de ...

WAPA: A wearable framework for aerobatic pilot aid

Daniel Thalmann, Sylvain Cardin, Xavier Righetti

Disorientation induced by G-forces during aerobatic flight generates difficulties for the pilots to perfectly align their aerobatic maneuver. This paper presents a modular wearable system for enhancing training of aerobatic pilots. A combination of acceler ...

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 ...

Wearable Obstacle Detection System for visually impaired People

Daniel Thalmann, Frédéric Vexo, Sylvain Cardin

This paper presents an obstacle detection system for visually impaired people. User can be alerted of closed obstacles in range while traveling in their environment. The system we propose detects the nearest obstacle via a stereoscopic sonar system and sen ...
