The scope of implementing a virtual instructor is to achieve enhanced learning outcomes during an autonomous training (education) sessions of a human learner. Based on the evidenc...
This paper proposes an intra-stream synchronization algorithm for haptic media in networked virtual environments where a user manipulates a CG object collaboratively in a 3-D virt...
A novel interactive virtual needle insertion simulation is presented. Simulation models are based upon planar tissue deformations and forces measured during needle insertion exper...
This paper describes a teleconferencing application that uses real objects to interact with virtual on-screen content. A variety of tangible interaction techniques can be used to l...
Recent research has shown that virtual agents expressing empathic emotions toward users have the potentiality to enhance human-machine interaction. To provide empathic capabilitie...
