Since [years] we hear about Virtual Reality as a discipline that could potentially provide benefits to many applications. Basically, the principle of Virtual Reality consists in stimulating user senses in order to give the impression to be in another place ...
This paper proposes an instrumented handle with multimodal augmented haptic feedback, which can be integrated into a conventional white cane to extend the haptic exploration range of visually impaired users. The information extracted from the environment t ...
This paper describes a noninvasive electromyography (EMG) signal-based computer interface and a performance evaluation method based on Fitts' law. The EMG signals induced by volitional wrist movements were acquired from four sites in the lower arm to extra ...
This paper presents an original model with methodologies that integrate in a novel way different types of an autonomous virtual agent's perception in a virtual environment. Our first new approach permits the coherent management of the shared virtual enviro ...
Mobile service robots are going to play an increasing role in the society of humans. Voice-enabled interaction with service robots becomes very important, if such robots are to be deployed in real-world environments and accepted by the vast majority of pot ...
The purpose of evaluation procedures is to achieve both qualitative and quantitative statements on haptic rendering realism and performance. Since a haptic interface provides an interaction between a user and a virtual environment, fidelity of a haptic int ...
We are interested in developing real-time applications such as games or virtual prototyping that take advantage of the user full-body input to control a wide range of entities, from a self-similar avatar to any type of animated characters, including virtua ...

The routine use of Computer-Assisted Surgery (CAS) in a wide range of surgical procedures and specialties is being hindered by the lack of suitable user interface for surgical environments. While many computer techniques and software exist to assist surgeo ...
Ultrasound imaging allows the evaluation of the degree of emergency of a patient. However, in many situations no experienced sonographer is available to perform such echography. To cope with this issue, the OTELO project “mObile Tele-Echography using an ul ...
We present a system that exploits advanced Virtual Reality technologies to create a surveillance and security system. Surveillance cameras are carried by a mini Blimp which is tele-operated using an innovative Virtual Reality interface with haptic feedback ...
