Tone-mapping requirements in real-time videos for studying the dynamism of views-out in virtual reality
Marilyne Andersen, Caroline Karmann, Stephen William Wasilewski, Yunjoung Cho
Current view representation methods in VR predominantly rely on static photographs and tone-mapping operators without temporal variations, limiting the exploration of dynamic features in a view. This study presents an alternative workflow to capture dynami ...
2023A VR-based workflow to assess perception of daylit views-out with a focus on dynamism and immersion
Marilyne Andersen, Caroline Karmann, Yunjoung Cho
Amongst the elements often overlooked in existing studies, dynamic movement and temporal changes in the content of views-out have been suggested to have a high potential to improve its perceived quality and occupant satisfaction. Moreover, in past and ongo ...
2023PointXR: A toolbox for visualization and subjective evaluation of point clouds in virtual reality
Touradj Ebrahimi, Evangelos Alexiou, Nanyang Yang
In this study, we explore the use of virtual reality to subjectively evaluate the visual quality of point cloud contents. To this aim, we develop the PointXR toolbox, a set of Unity applications that can host experiments under variants of interactive and p ...
2020Reconciling Being in-Control vs. Being Helped for the Execution of Complex Movements in VR
Performing motor tasks in virtual environments is best achieved with motion capture and animation of a 3D character that participants control in real time and perceive as being their avatar in the virtual environment. A strong Sense of Embodiment (SoE) for ...
IEEE2019Real-time 360 Body Scanning System for Virtual Reality Research Applications
Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Florian Lance, Louis Philippe Albert
We present a low-cost solution to perform the online and realistic representation of users using an array of depth cameras. The system is composed of a cluster of 10 Microsoft Kinect 2 cameras, each one associated to a compact NUC PC to stream live depth & ...
2019Body-machine interfaces for non-homologous human-machine interactions
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 ...
EPFL2019Adequacy 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 ...
2018Methods for using immersive virtual reality for experimental studies in lighting research
Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Kynthia Chamilothori
Due to the growing popularity of virtual reality (VR) as a tool for conducting subjective experiments, we propose a session addressing methodological concerns and good practices for the use of VR in lighting research, going further than a simple demonstrat ...
2018The 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 ...
2018Temperature-colour interaction: is colour affecting people’s thermal perception?
Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Giorgia Chinazzo
Over the last century, a large number of studies has tried to answer to the question whether coloured stimuli could have an effect on human thermal perceptual evaluation (i.e., temperature-colour interaction). In the building research area, this effect is ...
