A Flexible Input Mapping System for Next-Generation Virtual Reality Controllers

A highly flexible virtual reality system

Virtual reality (VR) systems utilize more and more input and output media in order to make virtual environments more realistic. Furthermore, VR developers nowadays concentrate on rich interaction and behavior. This causes the need for a new type of VR development system architecture. In this paper such a new architecture is proposed and discussed. Its key features include support for new input ...

QoS mapping for networked Virtual Reality System

We developed a networked virtual reality system on which one could have live videoes with high iteractive usage. However, since a client in our system receives both live videoes and computer graphics objects continuously from a server while it is rendering the current frame of the virtual world, a quality of the presentation of the virtual space depends on the current available system resources...

Virtual Reality-Wireless Local Area Network: Wireless Connection-Oriented Virtual Reality Architecture for Next-Generation Virtual Reality Devices

In order to enhance the user experience of virtual reality (VR) devices, multi-user VR environments and wireless connections should be considered for next-generation VR devices. Wireless local area network (WLAN)-based wireless communication devices are popular consumer devices with high throughput and low cost using unlicensed bands. However, the use of WLANs may cause delays in packet transmi...

Command Management System for Next-Generation User Input

Next-generation user input and sensor technologies (such as speech, handwriting, vision, and physical location) present new possibilities for adaptable easy-to-use commands. These input modalities also present problems of noise and ambiguity, for which current “ad hoc” command processing services (e.g., undo) are often inconsistent and insufficient. Applications should work with sensor processo...
