The Concept of Populated Information Terrains (PITS) aims to extend database technology with key ideas from the new fields of Virtual Reality (VR) and Computer Supported Cooperativ...
Abstract. This paper proposes a nonlinear controller to extend the Zwidth of a haptic device. A time-domain passivity analysis of the Z-width diagram leads to the new haptic contro...
Creating accurate haptic models of physical devices is critical to improving the realism and immersiveness of virtual environments. This paper addresses the problem of modeling th...
Agent design has to date concerned itself with the issues pertaining to a single body embedded in a single environment, whether virtual or real. This paper discusses the notion of...
