Introducing the Human Brain Project

Henry Markram, Richard Frackowiak

The Human Brain Project (HBP) is a candidate project in the European Union's FET Flagship Program, funded by the ICT Program in the Seventh Framework Program. The project will develop a new integrated strategy for understanding the human brain and a novel ...

Scalable real-time planar targets tracking for digilog books

Vincent Lepetit

We propose a novel 3D tracking method that supports several hundreds of pre-trained potential planar targets without losing real-time performance. This goes well beyond the state-of-the-art, and to reach this level of performances, two threads run in paral ...

VR simulation of interventional radiology and microsurgery

Fei Wang

Currently trainees typically learn surgery techniques directly on mocks, animals or cadavers. For safety, cost and ethics reasons, one cannot try all possible strategies to achieve efficient learning. Virtual Reality (VR) based surgery training systems int ...

Crowds of Moving Objects: Navigation Planning and Simulation

Daniel Thalmann, Helena Stephanie Grillon Le Gallennec

This paper presents a solution to interactive navigation planning and real-time simulation of a very large number of entities moving in a virtual environment. From the environment geometry analysis, we deduce a structure called navigation graph, which is t ...

Design and clinical evaluation of an image-guided surgical microscope with an integrated tracking system

Charles Baur, Gaëtan Marti, Jaime Garcia Giraldez

A new image-guided microscope system using augmented reality image overlays has been developed. With this system, CT cut-views and segmented objects such as tumors that have been previously extracted from preoperative tomographic images can be directly dis ...

Real-time navigating crowds: Scalable simulation and rendering

Daniel Thalmann, Jonathan Maim, Barbara Yersin

This paper introduces a framework for real-time simulation and rendering of crowds navigating in a virtual environment. The solution first consists in a specific environment preprocessing technique giving rise to navigation graphs, which are then used by t ...

The Benefits of Third-Person Perspective in Virtual and Augmented Reality?

Daniel Thalmann, Patrick Salamin, Frédéric Vexo

Instead of the reality in which you can see your own limbs, in virtual reality simulations it is sometimes disturbing not to be able to see your own body. It seems to create an issue in the proprioperception of the user who does not completely feel integra ...

Haptic interface design and control with application to surgery simulation

Ulrich Spälter

This thesis proposes a framework for haptic devices interacting with virtual environments. As application of the theoretical results a haptic device for the surgical training of hysteroscopy, a gynecologic intervention, is presented. Surgery simulators, wh ...

Dynamic thread for real-time knot-tying

Etienne Burdet, Fei Wang, Ankur Dhanik

Real-time simulation of knot-tying with visual and force feedback is essential to VR surgery training. We present a physics-based simulator that enables realistic knot tying at haptic speed. The virtual thread obeys Newton's laws and behaves naturally. The ...

Haptic instrumentation for an interventional radiology simulator

Dejan Ilic

Low trauma, reduced costs and fast recovery are only a few factors why minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is taking over classical surgical methods. Interventional Radiology (IR) is a minimally invasive procedure where thin tubular instruments are steered th ...
