    • 3-Hand Manipulation of Virtual Objects 

      Aguerreche, Laurent; Duval, Thierry; Lécuyer, Anatole (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      In this paper we introduce a new 3D interaction technique called '3-Hand Manipulation', for multi-user collaborative manipulation of 3D objects. The 3-Hand Manipulation relies on the use of three manipulation points that ...

    • Characteristics of Perception of Stiffness by Varied Tapping Velocity and Penetration in Using Event-Based Haptic 

      Ikeda, Yuto; Hasegawa, Shoichi (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      There are many works that uses event-based haptic to improve realism. We intend to investigate how the hardness presentation improves using event-based haptic, and how the perception of stiffness varies through presented ...

    • Opportunistic Music 

      Hachet, Martin; Kian, Arash; Berthaut, Florent; Franco, Jean-Sébastien; Desainte-Catherine, Myriam (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      While mixed reality has inspired the development of many new musical instruments, few approaches explore the potential of mobile setups. We present a new musical interaction concept, called opportunistic music. It allows ...

    • Echocardiogram Simulator based on Computer-Simulated Heart 

      Hirota, Koichi; Okada, J.; Washio, T.; Hisada, T.; Sugiura, S. (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      In this paper, we report our approaches to implementing an echocardiography simulator for medical training. The simulator provides experience of diagnosis by echocardiography using normal and endoscope probes; the user ...

    • Tree-shaded screen: A Propeller type screen for Public Art 

      Kunihiro, Nishimura; Suzuki, Yasuhiro; Tokuda, Yutaka; Iida, Tomohiro; Kajinami, Takashi; Tanikawa, Tomohiro; Hirose, Michitaka (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      Tree-shaded screen is a novel artwork for the public space. One can also think of it as a novel virtual reality system. The artwork consists of a surround couch, a column, and a propeller with six blades. When we sit down ...

    • Geodesic Haptic Device for Surface Rendering 

      Cugini, U.; Bordegoni, Monica; Covarrubias, M.; Antolini, M. (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      This paper describes a haptic device whose aim is to render the contact with a continuous and developable surface by means of the representation of a geodesic trajectory. Some preliminary tests conducted with industrial ...

    • Scent Presentation Expressing Two Smells of Different Intensity Simultaneously 

      Noguchi, Daisuke; Ohtsu, Kaori; Bannai, Yuichi; Okada, Kenichi (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      Studies aiming at increasing the sense of reality by using scents with the picture medium, such as movies, have lately attracted much attention. In the picture medium, multiple objects with different scents are seen at the ...

    • The Effects of Teleportation on Recollection of the Structure of a Virtual World 

      Cliburn, Daniel; Rilea, Stacy; Parsons, David; Surya, Prakash; Semler, Jessica (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      Teleportation is a virtual world navigation technique that allows users to travel at an infinite velocity from one lo-cation to another. Unfortunately, teleportation is known to cause disorientation in many users. This ...
