Real-time evaluation of distributed contact forces between rigid or deformable 3D objects is a key ingredient of 6-DoF force-feedback rendering. Unfortunately, at very high tempora...
In this paper, we show how to deform a planar rational cubic based on a local interpolation constraint while retaining the qualitative shape of the curve. An impedance-type, paral...
In this experiment we investigated the influence of stimulus properties on exploratory movement parameters in active touch. More precisely, we investigated whether and to what ex...
The simulation of organ-organ interaction is indispensable for practical and advanced medical VR simulator such as open surgery and indirect palpation. This paper gives a method t...
In this paper we describe the development of an interactive virtual reality (VR) system that aims to realistically simulate specific paracentesis clinical procedures (particularly ...
