Towards Better Quality in Virtual Environments

In this paper, we present a collaborative volume rendering application which can be used in distributed virtual environments.. The application allows the users to collaboratively

Distributed virtual environments offer an efficient way for a number of users to create complex 3D virtual worlds.. However, navigation within these virtual environments can

To enable the use of ENVIRON in VR environments with different kinds of devices, we developed an independent tool, called ViRAL (Virtual Reality Abstraction Layer), which may also

The 2D/3D registration procedure, described in detail in Fani et al [DCY03] consists of extracting surface normals from the video frames using a linear shape from shading tech-

The framework makes it possible to easily create rich virtual environments with rigid-body dynamics, ad- vanced rendering using OpenGL Shaders, 3D sound and human avatars..

What are the quantitative differences in gaze count, total viewing time, and gaze transitions between agents, envi- ronment, and the region of screen where the wayfinding aid

There are considerable numbers of data models to be man- aged when designing today’s Virtual Reality software. For example, scene data, rendering specifics, simulation data

As a solution to immersive virtual museum visits, we propose an extension upon the platform we previously developed for Setting-up Interactive Virtual Environments (pSIVE)
