Interactive Computer Experiments in Virtual Reality: Issues and Prospects

We discuss here on how to employ virtual reality in setting up interactive computer experiments as a means to probe the attitudes, motivations, reasoning and principles underlying travel decision-making. Modeling travel patterns has remained a difficult problem in urban planning recently made even more complex by transportation modelers’ attempts to incorporate aspects of human decision making ...

Interactive fitting augmented by force-feedback and virtual reality.

The synthesis of low-resolution electron microscopy data with high-resolution molecular structures has become a common routine in the modeling of biomolecular assemblies. In contrast to algorithmic "black box" solutions, the interactive "fitting by eye" takes advantage of an expert's structural or biochemical knowledge and can be used with very noisy experimental data. In the solution proposed ...

Haptic Feedback for Virtual Reality

Haptic feedback is a crucial sensorial modality in virtual reality interactions. Haptics means both force feedback (simulating object hardness, weight, and inertia) and tactile feedback (simulating surface contact geometry, smoothness, slippage, and temperature). Providing such sensorial data requires desk-top or portable special-purpose hardware called haptic interfaces. Modeling physical inte...
