A Modular Approach towards Wearable Computing

Thanks to recent improvements in electronics, conductive materials and energy storage capabilities, we are now able to embed small circuits but also ultra-mobile PCs (UMPC) into clothes. These devices are able to sense, process and communicate information ...

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 ...

Services surround you: Physical-virtual linkage with contextual bookmarks

Xavier Righetti

Our daily life is pervaded by digital information and devices, not least the common mobile phone. However, a seamless connection between our physical world, such as a movie trailer on a screen in the main rail station and its digital counterparts, such as ...

Immersive flight for surveillance applications

Daniel Thalmann, Frédéric Vexo, Sylvain Cardin, Xavier Righetti

In this paper , we present a VR-based first-person view paradigm applied to a tele-surveillance application. Using an Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV), we have developed an intuitive tangible interface between the pilot and his airship (blimp). The idea is to ma ...
