Symbiotic Hands: A virtual reality interactive system that traverses reality

Virtual Reality Interactive Learning Environments

Advanced three-dimensional virtual environment technology, similar to that used by the film and computer games industry has been used to generate an interactive learning environment that allow students to design and perform virtual chemical engineering laboratory experiments. Early attempts at ‘virtual’ chemical laboratories have often consisted of little more than online calculators or interac...

Interactive scientific visualization: An assessment of a virtual reality system

A virtual reality system, consisting of a head-mounted stereoscopic display and a computer-interfaced glove, was assessed by examining interaction with a 3-D model of the human brain. Interactions were recorded on videotape. Non-trivial user interface issues were identified, ranging from constraints imposed by the nature of the wearable interface hardware, to the choice of gestures for controll...

Virtual Reality Telerobotic System

This paper describes a telerobotic system operated through a virtual reality (VR) interface. A least squares method is used to find the transformation mapping, from the virtual to real environments. Results revealed an average transformation error of 3mm. The system was tested for the task of planning minimum time shaking trajectories to discharge the contents of a suspicious package onto a wor...

An Interactive Virtual Reality-based e-Education System

A fully immersive and interactive visualization system that provides extremely vivid stereoscopic views of sceneries in 3-D is developed based on the technologies of distributed virtual reality and computer networking. The system, known as the imseCAVE, is a low cost, high performance generic Cave Automatic Virtual Environment (CAVE) system developed by the researchers at the University of Hong...
