Chloe@University: An indoor, HMD-based mobile mixed reality guide

Daniel Thalmann, Xavier Righetti, Achille Peternier, Mathieu Hopmann

This paper describes an indoors, mobile mixed reality guide system: Chloe@University. With a see-through head-mounted display (HMD) connected to a hidden small computing device, Chloe@University provides users with an efficient way of guiding in a building ...

Organic shape modeling through haptic devices

Daniel Thalmann, Frédéric Vexo, Renaud Ott

This paper presents a sketching system for 3D organic shapes modeling and animation using virtual reality devices. On the hardware side, it is based on the Haptic Workstation™ which conveys force feedback on the user arms (upper body limbs), and a head mou ...

Wearable Mixed Reality System In Less Than 1 Pound

Daniel Thalmann, Frédéric Vexo, Achille Peternier

We have designed a wearable Mixed Reality (MR) framework which allows to real-time render game-like 3D scenes on see-through head-mounted displays (see through HMDs) and to localize the user position within aknown internet wireless area. Our equipment weig ...

The mobile animator: interactive character animation in collaborative virtual environments

Daniel Thalmann, Frédéric Vexo

We have designed a mobile -PDA-based- interface for real-time control of virtual characters in multiuser semi-immersive virtual environments - using a large rear-projection screen. The proof-of-concept implementation we present shows the potential of handh ...

Towards interactive real-time crowd behavior simulation

Daniel Thalmann, Branislav Ulicny

While virtual crowds are becoming common in non-real-time applications, the real-time domain is still relatively unexplored. In this paper we discuss the challenges involved in creating such simulations, especially the need to efficiently manage variety. W ...
