From finger animation to full-body embodiment of avatars with different morphologies and proportions

Mathias Guy Delahaye

VR (Virtual Reality) is a real-time simulation that creates the subjective illusion of being in a virtual world.This thesis explores how integrating the user's body and fingers can be achieved and beneficial for the user to experience VR.At the advent of V ...

Self-attribution of distorted reaching movements in immersive virtual reality

Olaf Blanke, Ronan Boulic, Bruno Herbelin, Roy Salomon, Henrique Galvan Debarba

This study explores the extent to which individuals embodied in Virtual Reality tend to self-attribute the movements of their avatar. More specifically, we tested subjects performing goal-directed movements and distorted the mapping between user and avatar ...

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 ...

A Physical Model of Non-stationary Blur in Ultrasound Imaging

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Yves Wiaux, Paul Hurley, Dimitris Perdios, Matthieu Martin Jean-André Simeoni, Marcel Arditi, Adrien Georges Jean Besson

Conventional ultrasound (US) imaging relies on delay-and-sum (DAS) beamforming which retrieves a radio- frequency (RF) image, a blurred estimate of the tissue reflectivity function (TRF). Despite the non-stationarity of the blur induced by propagation effe ...

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 ...

Improving the theoretical underpinnings of process-based hydrologic models

Bettina Schaefli, Serena Ceola

In this Commentary, we argue that it is possible to improve the physical realism of hydrologic models by making better use of existing hydrologic theory. We address the following questions: (1) what are some key elements of current hydrologic theory; (2) h ...
