Haptic instrumentation for an interventional radiology simulator

Dejan Ilic

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 ...

Collaboration with agents in VR environments

Jan Ciger

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 ...

The mobile animator: interactive character animation in collaborative virtual environments

Daniel Thalmann, Frédéric Vexo

We have designed a mobile -PDA-based- interface for real-time control of virtual characters in multiuser semi-immersive virtual environments - using a large rear-projection screen. The proof-of-concept implementation we present shows the potential of handh ...

The complexity of testing a motivational model of action selection for virtual humans

Daniel Thalmann, Etienne De Sevin

After implementing a motivational model of action selection applied to autonomous virtual humans inspired by models of animals' decision-making, the problem consists of testing it in good conditions for validation. Indeed this model has to respect the six ...

Immersive VR decision training: telling interactive stories featuring advanced virtual human simulation technologies

Daniel Thalmann, Bruno Herbelin, Michal Ponder, Branislav Ulicny

Based on the premise of a synergy between the interactive storytelling and VR training simulation this paper treats the main issues involved in practical realization of an immersive VR decision training system supporting possibly broad spectrum of scenario ...

An informed environment for inhabited city simulation

In combination with the rapid technical improvements of computers, building large virtual scenes has become a popular field in computer graphics for education, films or games. Often, virtual humans populate scenes such as real reconstructed city, disappear ...

Simulating virtual humans in networked virtual environments

Daniel Thalmann

In the past decade, networked virtual environments (NVEs) have been an increasingly active area of research, with the first commercial systems emerging recently. Graphical and behavioral representation of users within such systems is a particularly importa ...

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 paradigm for controlling virtual humans in urban environment simulations

Daniel Thalmann, Ronan Boulic

Presents a new architecture for simulating virtual humans in complex urban environments. The approach is based on the integration of six modules. Four key modules are used in order to manage environmental data, simulate human crowds, control interactions b ...
