Abstract

To improve the interaction of people with virtually generated environments we need first to break the barriers that prevent the user from getting an experience as close to reality as possible. The main problem is to give the user the sensation that his/her presence affects the virtual world and then to let the user perceive that the actions he/she takes on the real world can change the virtual one in a smooth natural way in order to achieve virtual biofeedback. Interacting with virtual nature can transport us out from reality. We developed an interactive application with two interfaces on which the user can pretend to be the wind and interact with a virtual pond. Our application makes the user believe and feel that he/she is modifying a 3D virtual pond by the interaction with a small water receptacle in the real world using innovative wave-sensing device. The user, by speaking to a microphone, can also interact with a virtual tree by making it move according to his/her wishes. The physics for the tree are calculated to present the user's action as a wind force making this an entertaining experience.

捕捉水和声波，与虚拟自然互动

为了改善人们与虚拟生成环境的互动，我们首先需要打破阻碍用户获得尽可能接近现实的体验的障碍。主要问题是让用户感觉到他/她的存在影响着虚拟世界，然后让用户感知到他/她在现实世界中的行为可以以一种流畅自然的方式改变虚拟世界，从而实现虚拟生物反馈。与虚拟的自然互动可以把我们从现实中带出来。我们开发了一个具有两个界面的交互式应用程序，用户可以在其中假装是风并与虚拟池塘交互。我们的应用程序让用户相信并感觉他/她正在修改一个3D虚拟池塘，通过与一个小的水容器在现实世界中使用创新的波浪感应设备的互动。通过对着麦克风说话，用户还可以与虚拟树互动，让它按照自己的意愿移动。这棵树的物理设计是为了将用户的动作呈现为风力，使其成为一种有趣的体验。
