Virtual humans for virtual reality and augmented reality

Daniel Thalmann

The tutorial will explain the techniques for integrating virtual humans into virtual and real environments. It will first present the concept of avatars and autonomous virtual actors and the main techniques to create and animate them (body and face). It wi ...

Fully Automated and Stable Registration for Augmented Reality Applications

Daniel Thalmann, Pascal Fua, Vincent Lepetit

We present a fully automated approach to camera registration for augmented reality systems. It relies on purely passive vision techniques to solve the initialization and real-time tracking problems, given a rough CAD model of parts of the real scene. It do ...

Real-time augmented face

Daniel Thalmann, Pascal Fua, Vincent Lepetit

This real-time augmented reality demonstration relies on our tracking algorithm described in V. Lepetit et al (2003). This algorithm considers natural feature points, and then does not require engineering of the environment. It merges the information from ...

Strengthening MDA by Drawing from the Living Systems Theory

Alain Wegmann, Otto Preiss

OMGs Model Driven Architecture initiative comes at a time where information system builders and integrators have realized that application design and thus application interoperability is not primarily a technology issue but is about understanding different ...

Towards real time virtual human life simulations

Daniel Thalmann, Etienne De Sevin

We describe an approach to construct interactive virtual environments, which are suitable for the development of artificial virtual human life simulations. Our main goal is to have virtual human actors living and working autonomously in virtual environment ...

Augmented reality for real and virtual humans

Daniel Thalmann, Pascal Fua, Michal Ponder

Current virtual reality technologies provide many ways to interact with virtual humans. Most of those techniques, however, are limited to synthetic elements and require cumbersome sensors. We have combined a real-time simulation and rendering platform with ...

A Distributed Architecture for Teleoperation over the Internet with Application to the Remote Control of an Inverted Pendulum

Denis Gillet, Christophe Salzmann

This paper discusses challenges in enabling teleoperation over the Internet for the specific case of real systems which exhibit fast dynamics. A distributed client-server architecture is proposed to provide the necessary level of interactivity for supervis ...

VPARK - A Windows NT software platform for a virtual networked amusement park

Daniel Thalmann, Joaquim Esmerado

Presents the VPARK (Virtual Park) system, which includes a networked virtual environment (NVE) system called W-VLNET and an “attraction building system” that is able to create and modify the attractions used in the NVE. Both systems have been developed in ...
