Object manipulation and grasping for virtual humans

Virtual environments need virtual humans that are capable of interacting with objects around them. Existing virtual environments have not found satisfactory general solutions for this problem. The common method is to combine pre-designed (or motion capture ...

Action Semantics in Smart Objects

Daniel Thalmann, Tolga Abaci, Jan Ciger

We present a method of formal description of the action semantics in smart objects. Smart objects were primarily used for behavioral animation in the past. We demonstrate, how a formally described semantics can be used for action planning purposes by intel ...

Bridging Geometry and Semantics for Object Manipulation and Grasping

Daniel Thalmann, Frédéric Vexo, Tolga Abaci

In this paper, we present our on-going work towards grasping in an object manipulation context. Our proposal is a novel method that combines a tubular feature classification algorithm, a hand grasp posture generation algorithm and an animation framework fo ...

The enigma of the sphinx

Daniel Thalmann, Olivier Renault, Frédéric Vexo, Tolga Abaci, Mireille Clavien, Jan Ciger

This paper presents an evaluation of the benefits and user acceptance of a multimodal interface in which the user interacts with a game-like interactive virtual reality application "The Enigma of the Sphinx". The interface consists of a large projection sc ...
