Two-handed haptic feedback in generic virtual environments

Renaud Ott

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 ...

PyNN: a common interface for neuronal network simulators

Eilif Benjamin Muller

Computational neuroscience has produced a diversity of software for simulations of networks of spiking neurons, with both negative and positive consequences. On the one hand, each simulator uses its own programming or configuration language, leading to con ...

Practical Design and Implementation of a CAVE Environment

Daniel Thalmann, Frédéric Vexo, Sylvain Cardin, Achille Peternier

CAVE systems are nowadays one of the best Virtual Reality (VR) immersive devices available for rendering virtual environments. Unfortunately, such kind of hardware is extremely expensive, complex and cum-bersome, thus limited in its spread. Several cheaper ...

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 ...

VR haptic interfaces for teleoperation: an evaluation study

Daniel Thalmann, Frédéric Vexo, Renaud Ott

We present the results of an evaluation study in the framework of user interfaces for teleoperation of vehicles. We developed a virtual cockpit with haptic feedback provided by a Haptic Workstation™. Four alternative teleoperation interfaces were implement ...
