Body-machine interfaces for non-homologous human-machine interactions

Jenifer Cléa Miehlbradt

Virtual reality (VR), the interactive experience of being immersed in a simulated environment, has seen a tremendous development in the last years. Numerous applications came into being, ranging from flight simulators through a virtual ascent of Mount Ever ...

The Critical Role of Self-Contact for Embodiment in Virtual Reality

Ronan Boulic, Bruno Herbelin, Eray Molla, Henrique Galvan Debarba, Sidney Bovet

With the broad range of motion capture devices available on the market, it is now commonplace to directly control the limb movement of an avatar during immersion in a virtual environment. Here, we study how the subjective experience of embodying a full-bod ...

Adequacy of Immersive Virtual Reality for the Perception of Daylit Spaces: Comparison of Real and Virtual Environments

Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Kynthia Chamilothori

This article presents a novel experimental method that uses a virtual reality (VR) headset, aiming to provide an alternative environment for the conduction of subjective assessments of daylit spaces. This method can overcome the difficulty of controlling t ...

Collaborative 3D Manipulation using Mobile Phones

Anderson Maciel

We present a 3D user interface for collaborative manipulation of three-dimensional objects in virtual environments. It maps inertial sensors, touch screen and physical buttons of a mobile phone into well-known gestures to alter the position, rotation and s ...

Characterizing Embodied Interaction in First and Third Person Perspective Viewpoints

Ronan Boulic, Bruno Herbelin, Eray Molla, Henrique Galvan Debarba

Third Person Perspective (3PP) viewpoints have the potential to expand how one perceives and acts in a virtual environment. They offer increased awareness of the posture and of the surrounding of the virtual body as compared to First Person Perspective (1P ...

Thinking Penguin: Multi-modal Brain-Computer Interface Control of a VR Game

Robert Leeb

We describe a multi-modal brain-computer interface (BCI) experiment, situated in a highly immersive CAVE. A subject sitting in the virtual environment controls the main character of a virtual reality game: a penguin that slides down a snowy mountain slope. ...

Haptic/VR Assessment Tool for Fine Motor Control

Hannes Bleuler, Roger Gassert, Olivier Lambercy, Evren Samur, Christophe Emery

The Nine Hole Peg Test (NHPT) is routinely used in clinical environments to evaluate a patient’s fine hand control. A physician measures the total time required to insert nine pegs into nine holes and obtains information on the dexterity of the patient. Ev ...

Motion Synergies for Real-Time Postural Control in Virtual Environments

Daniel Raunhardt

Virtual prototyping has become an important part during the product development process. The common way to let a user interact with the virtual prototype is the use of a three dimensional virtual mannequin that is controlled by the user. These human figure ...
