The Critical Role of Self-Contact for Embodiment in Virtual Reality

Ronan Boulic, Sidney Bovet, Bruno Herbelin, Eray Molla, Henrique Galvan Debarba

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 ...

Egocentric Mapping of Body Surface Constraints

Ronan Boulic, Eray Molla, Henrique Galvan Debarba

The relative location of human body parts often materializes the semantics of on-going actions, intentions and even emotions expressed, or performed, by a human being. However, traditional methods of performance animation fail to correctly and automaticall ...

SPA: Sparse Photorealistic Animation Using a Single RGB-D Camera

Ronan Boulic, Eray Molla, Jingyu Yang, Kun Li

Photorealistic animation is a desirable technique for computer games and movie production. We propose a new method to synthesize plausible videos of human actors with new motions using a single cheap RGB-D camera. A small database is captured in a usual of ...

One Step from the Locomotion to the Stepping Pattern

Ronan Boulic, Eray Molla, Utku Evci

The locomotion pattern is characterized by a translation displacement mostly occurring along the forward frontal body direction, whereas local repositioning with large re-orientations, i.e. stepping, may induce translations both along the frontal and the l ...

Characterizing Embodied Interaction in First and Third Person Perspective Viewpoints

Ronan Boulic, Bruno Herbelin, Eray Molla, Henrique Galvan Debarba

Third Person Perspective (3PP) viewpoints have the potential to expand how one perceives and acts in a virtual environment. They offer increased awareness of the posture and of the surrounding of the virtual body as compared to First Person Perspective (1P ...

Singularity Free Parametrization of Human Limbs

Ronan Boulic, Eray Molla

In this paper we propose the Middle-Axis-Rotation (MAR) parametrization of human limbs that addresses the ill-conditioned cases of analytical Inverse Kinematics (IK) algorithms. The MAR parametrization is singularity-free in the reach space of the human li ...

A two-arm coordination model for phantom limb pain rehabilitation

Ronan Boulic, Eray Molla

Following limb loss, patients usually continue having sensations on their missing limbs as if they were still present. Signicant amount of such sensations are painful and referred as Phantom Limb Pain (PLP). Previous research has shown that providing the p ...

Realistic modeling of spectator behavior for soccer videogames with CUDA

Eray Molla

Soccer has always been one of the most popular videogame genres. When designing a soccer game, designers tend to focus on the game field and game play due to the limited computational resources, and thus the modelling of virtual spectators is paid less att ...
