In this paper, we propose the opposite: brining virtual world events and instantiate them in the real world. The proposed system, named KissMe, comprises two components: (1) a virtual reality environment that has avatars that represent real humans interacting with each other, and (2) a neck piece (tactile haptic device) that is put on the neck of the real person. When one of the avatars kisses the other, an event is triggered and a message is sent over the Internet, via web service paradigm, to a Bluetooth-enabled neck piece hardware. The neck piece applies the haptic stimulus that simulates the kiss feeling using actuators that are embedded in a scarf-like suit. Examples of potential applications for the KissMe prototype include 3D gaming and virtual reality social communities such as second life, among others.","PeriodicalId":284224,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE Conference on Virtual Environments, Human-Computer Interfaces and Measurement Systems","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128385237","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ebisawa","doi":"10.1109/VECIMS.2008.4592775","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/VECIMS.2008.4592775","url":null,"abstract":"A remote video-based head pose detection system is useful to observe the behavior of the driver, e.g., prevention oft the driver from failing to keep the eyes on the road. In addition, if the precision of the system is high, it may be used as a pointing device. We have already proposed a horizontal and vertical head pose estimation method using the 3-D positions of the two pupils and two nostrils, which are obtained from the stereo cameras. In the method, the horizontal and vertical angles of the average vector of the normal vector of the plane including the two pupils and one nostril and that of the plane including the two pupils and another nostril were determined as the head angle. The system showed the measurable ranges of more than plusmn 40 deg in horizontal and 30 deg in vertical. In this paper, we propose the head pose detection method with one camera in order to increase the horizontal range. The 3D positions of the pupils and nostrils are determined by giving the distances among the feature points as restraint conditions. The experimental results showed the measurable ranges of approx. plusmn 45 deg in horizontal and 40 deg in vertical. In addition, the one-camera method indicated high resolution compared to our previous stereo method. Finally, the proposed one-camera method was introduced into each of the two stereo-calibrated cameras, placed with 30 deg separated. The two-camera system showed a wide horizontal range of plusmn 60 deg.","PeriodicalId":284224,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE Conference on Virtual Environments, Human-Computer Interfaces and Measurement Systems","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132306750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents AVRA, a framework that receives the simulation models and the description of the view as XML files and dynamically generates a VR (Virtual Reality) application that corresponds to those specifications. The result consists of a 3D scene with configurable graphical elements that are animated based on the numerical outputs of the simulation models. The task of managing the communication between the model and view components as well as their construction and destruction is automatically handled by AVRA. In essence, this framework allows developers to quickly construct the simulation components of a VR application through XML descriptions and view plug-ins thereby allowing developers to focus their efforts on implementing the higher level functionalities of the application.","PeriodicalId":284224,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE Conference on Virtual Environments, Human-Computer Interfaces and Measurement Systems","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124872043","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data fusion to be accurate requires that nodes be referred to a common clock and among themselves. In this scenario node synchronization got a crucial research topic and even sophisticated synchronization algorithms can be easily found in literature. Not a few others show to be especially designed for low cost, low memory and low power architectures. Their performance is usually evaluated either through analytical considerations or in simulation environments, but in some cases where ad hoc radio systems have been adopted. This paper makes a first step toward an experimental characterization of synchronization protocols that hold into account also influence factors which arise when commercial wireless communication busses as WiFi, BlueTooth (BT), ZigBee are adopted.","PeriodicalId":284224,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE Conference on Virtual Environments, Human-Computer Interfaces and Measurement Systems","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121755299","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
