And the ringleaders were banned: an examination of protest in virtual worlds
Protest has made the jump between the offline and the online spaces and is frequently used in most virtual worlds available today. Despite the frequency of these protest actions i...

Health Document Explanation by Virtual Agents
We describe the design and evaluation of a virtual agent that explains health documents to patients. The prevalence and impact of low health literacy is presented as a motivation f...

Kinetic bounding volume hierarchies for deformable objects
We present novel algorithms for updating bounding volume hierarchies of objects undergoing arbitrary deformations. Therefore, we introduce two new data structures, the kinetic AAB...

A passive 2DOF walker: Finding gait cycles using virtual holonomic constraints
— A planar compass-like biped on a shallow slope is the simplest model of a passive walker. It is a two-degrees-offreedom impulsive mechanical system known to possess periodic so...

Shaping Event-Based Haptic Transients Via an Improved Understanding of Real Contact Dynamics
Haptic interactions with stiff virtual surfaces feel more realistic when a short-duration transient is added to the spring force at contact. But how should this event-based transi...
