Improved Third-Person Perspective: a solution reducing occlusion of the 3PP?

Daniel Thalmann, Frédéric Vexo, Patrick Salamin

Pre-existing researches [Salamin et al. 2006] showed that Third-Person Perspective (3PP) enhances user navigation in 3D virtual environments by reducing proprio-perception issues. Nevertheless, this approach has shown drawbacks related to occlusions and ad ...

Thanks to geolocalized remote control : the sound will follow

Daniel Thalmann, Frédéric Vexo, Mathieu Hopmann

Dematerialized music and MP3 players offer to the user the possibility of carrying his musical content everywhere. However, at home, the music collection is generally not centralized, split between different rooms and audio supports (CDs, MP3s, etc). In th ...

Motion Modeling: Can We Get Rid of Motion Capture?

Daniel Thalmann

For situations like crowd simulation, serious games, and VR-based training, flexible and spontaneous movements are extremely important. Motion models would be the best strategy to adopt, but unfortunately, they are very costly to develop and the results ar ...

Populating Ancient Pompeii with Crowds of Virtual Romans

Daniel Thalmann, Barbara Yersin, Jonathan Maim

Pompeii was a Roman city, destroyed and completely buried during an eruption of the volcano Mount Vesuvius. We have revived its past by creating a 3D model of its previous appearance and populated it with crowds of Virtual Romans. In this paper, we detail ...

A Fast Method for Finding Range of Motion in the Human Joints

Ronan Boulic, Daniel Thalmann, Ehsan Arbabi

Finding the range of motion for the human joints is a popular method for diagnosing joint diseases. By current technology, it is more trustable and easier to find the range of motion by employing computer based models of the human tissues. In this paper we ...

Immersive flight for surveillance applications

Daniel Thalmann, Frédéric Vexo, Sylvain Cardin, Xavier Righetti

In this paper , we present a VR-based first-person view paradigm applied to a tele-surveillance application. Using an Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV), we have developed an intuitive tangible interface between the pilot and his airship (blimp). The idea is to ma ...

An ontology of virtual humans: Incorporating semantics into human shapes

Daniel Thalmann, Laurent Moccozet, Frédéric Vexo, Alejandra Garcia Rojas Martinez

Most of the efforts concerning graphical representations of humans (Virtual Humans) have been focused on synthesizing geometry for static or animated shapes. The next step is to consider a human body not only as a 3D shape, but as an active semantic entity ...

Motion Pattern Preserving IK Operating in the Motion Principal Coefficients Space

Ronan Boulic, Daniel Thalmann

We introduce a constraint-based motion editing technique enforcing the intrinsic motion flow of a given motion pattern (e.g., golf swing). Its major characteristic is to operate in the motion Principal Coefficients (PCs) space instead of the pose PCs space ...
