Sensitivity of hip tissues contact evaluation to the methods used for estimating the hip joint center of rotation

Daniel Thalmann, Ronan Boulic

Computer-based simulations of human hip joints generally include investigating contacts happening among soft or hard tissues during hip movement. In many cases, hip movement is approximated as rotation about an estimated hip center. In this paper, we inves ...

Two-arm haptic force-feedbacked aid for the shoulder and elbow telerehabilitation

Daniel Thalmann, Frédéric Vexo, Patrick Salamin

In this paper, we present a telerehabilitation system aiming to help the physiotherapists for the shoulder and elbow treatment. It is based on a two-arm haptic force feedback to avoid excessive efforts and discomfort with the spinal column. This system, re ...

Crowd Patches: Populating Large-Scale Virtual Environments for Real-Time Applications

Daniel Thalmann, Jonathan Maim, Barbara Yersin

Populating virtual environments (VEs) with large crowds is a subject that has been tackled for several years. Solutions have been proposed to offer realistic trajectories as well as interactivity, but limitations remain on the environment dimensions with r ...

Organic shape modeling through haptic devices

Daniel Thalmann, Frédéric Vexo

This paper presents a sketching system for 3D organic shapes modeling and animation using virtual reality devices. On the hardware side, it is based on the Haptic Workstation™ which conveys force feedback on the user arms (upper body limbs), and a head mou ...

An integrated perception for autonomous virtual agents: active and predictive perception

Daniel Thalmann, Toni Conde

This paper presents an original model with methodologies that integrate in a novel way different types of an autonomous virtual agent's perception in a virtual environment. Our first new approach permits the coherent management of the shared virtual enviro ...

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 ...

VR haptic interfaces for teleoperation: an evaluation study

Daniel Thalmann, Frédéric Vexo

We present the results of an evaluation study in the framework of user interfaces for teleoperation of vehicles. We developed a virtual cockpit with haptic feedback provided by a Haptic Workstation™. Four alternative teleoperation interfaces were implement ...

A history of crowd simulation: the past, evolution, and new perspectives

Daniel Thalmann

This paper aims to discuss the past, evolution, and new perspectives in crowd simulation. Many work have been produced and published in this area that was launched approximately 30 years ago. In this paper, we re-visited the main aspects of the area, prese ...

Quantifying effects of exposure to the third and first-person perspectives in virtual-reality-based training

Daniel Thalmann, Olaf Blanke, Frédéric Vexo, Patrick Salamin, Ravi Tej Sai Giridhar Tadi

In the recent years, usage of the third-person perspective (3PP) in virtual training methods has become increasingly viable and despite the growing interest in virtual reality and graphics underlying third-person perspective usage, not many studies have sy ...

Action Semantics in Smart Objects

Daniel Thalmann, Tolga Abaci, Jan Ciger

We present a method of formal description of the action semantics in smart objects. Smart objects were primarily used for behavioral animation in the past. We demonstrate, how a formally described semantics can be used for action planning purposes by intel ...

Wearable Mixed Reality System In Less Than 1 Pound

Daniel Thalmann, Frédéric Vexo, Achille Peternier

We have designed a wearable Mixed Reality (MR) framework which allows to real-time render game-like 3D scenes on see-through head-mounted displays (see through HMDs) and to localize the user position within aknown internet wireless area. Our equipment weig ...

A motivational model of action selection for virtual humans

Daniel Thalmann, Etienne De Sevin

Nowadays virtual humans such as non-player characters in computer games need to have a real autonomy in order to live their own life in persistent virtual worlds. When designing autonomous virtual humans, the action selection problem needs to be considered ...

Enhancing Pilot Performance with a SymBodic System

Daniel Thalmann, Dario Floreano, Sylvain Cardin

Increased fatigue of pilots during long flights can place both humans and machine at high risk. In this paper, we describe our research on a SymBodic (SYMbiotic BODies) system designed to minimize pilot fatigue in a simulated 48 hour mission. The system de ...

Motion Lab: A Mat lab Toolbox for Extracting and Processing Experimental Motion Capture Data for Neuromuscular Simulations

Daniel Thalmann, Anders Sandholm

During the last years several neuromuscular simulation platforms have been developed, from commercial tools to open-source based solutions to pure in-house solutions which are not public available. A major problem in running neuromuscular simulations in an ...

Interactive Low-Dimensional Human Motion Synthesis by Combining Motion Models and PIK

Daniel Thalmann, Ronan Boulic

This paper explores the issue of interactive low-dimensional human motion synthesis. We compare the performances of two motion models, i.e. Principal Components Analysis (PCA) or Probabilistic PCA (PPCA), for solving a constrained optimization problem with ...

A subject-specific software solution for the modeling and the visualization of muscles deformations

Daniel Thalmann, Ronan Boulic, Anders Sandholm

Today, to create and to simulate a virtual anatomical version of a subject is useful in the decision process of surgical treatments. The muscular activity is one of the factors which can contribute to abnormal movements such as in spasticity or static cont ...
