Posez n’importe quelle question sur les cours, conférences, exercices, recherches, actualités, etc. de l’EPFL ou essayez les exemples de questions ci-dessous.
AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.
While feedback of the grasping force is necessary to manipulate objects skillfully, most Virtual Reality systems do not provide such feedback. Grasping an object is often reduced to pushing a button on the interface. This paper presents the design and real ...
Lumbar puncture (LP) is performed by inserting a needle into the spinal canal to extract cerebrospinal fluid for diagnostic purposes. A virtual reality (VR) lumbar puncture simulator based on real patient data has been developed and evaluated. ...
In the recent years, usage of the third-person perspective (3PP) in virtual training methods has become increasingly viable and despite the growing interest in virtual reality and graphics underlying third-person perspective usage, not many studies have sy ...

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 ...
Crowds are part of our everyday experience; nevertheless, in virtual worlds they are still relatively rare. In this thesis we explore the challenges of bringing crowds into interactive virtual environments and the possible applications of real-time interac ...
We hereby present a study whose aim is to evaluate the efficiency and flexibility of virtual reality as a therapeutic tool in the confines of a social phobia behavioural therapeutic program. Our research protocol, accepted by the ethical commission of the ...
Low trauma, reduced costs and fast recovery are only a few factors why minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is taking over classical surgical methods. Interventional Radiology (IR) is a minimally invasive procedure where thin tubular instruments are steered th ...
This paper describes the instrumentation of a clinical colonoscope needed for a novel colonoscopy simulation framework. The simulator consists of a compact and portable haptic interface and a virtual reality environment to provide real-time visualization. ...
Technological advances of the last decades enabled the development of a set of new medical techniques that differ from traditional open surgery. These techniques, referred to as minimally invasive surgery (MIS), involve complex instruments and imaging devi ...
Virtual reality is gaining on importance in many fields – scientific simulation, training, therapy and also more and more in entertainment. All these applications require the human user to interact with virtual worlds inhabited by intelligent characters an ...
