This work present the TeamBridge, a middleware able to perform the communication between digital games and hardware devices, like joysticks, mice and motion capture cameras. That communication does not require any modification to the game source code, ...

In this study, a simulator is proposed for inspection and training of a wheel loader based on a first-person serious game and virtual reality. The simulator was developed using a cross-platform game engine and integrated into various virtual reality ...

Traditional military shooting training methods have high costs, logistics complexity, spatial-temporal constraints, and safety risk. VR-based simulation can help address these drawbacks while serving as a platform for supplementing current training ...

Research into Fish Tank Virtual Reality (FTVR) techniques commonly uses specific wearable sensors such as infrared cameras, glasses, or helmets to estimate the position of the user’s eyes. However, using only existing RGB cameras on laptops is more ...

Museums are plural spaces that can exhibit different forms of art, cultural pieces, as well as educational content. In this environment, virtual reality (VR) is being used as a tool to enhance those spaces and create new experiences that were not ...

The use of technology inside museums is a topic of growing interest. Technology-driven installations not only create new experiences for the regular visitors but also may be enough to attract the interest of new ones. When those experiences happen ...

Reading is one of the basic activities inherent to humans. By reading, we communicate to each other, sharing and receiving information. In a world technology is constantly evolving, it is not hard to find software solutions for speed reading. However, ...

This study presents a validation and maintenance of a virtual reality game proposed in the literature to assist hand rehabilitation processes. In order to allow direct user interaction, that game uses Oculus Rift and Leap Motion to track the hands. The ...

This paper aims to present a multisensory (visual, auditory, and olfactory) virtual reality experience concerning the history and production process of a beverage that influences habits, pleasures, interactions with family and friends, and work: coffee. ...

This project used 2D and 3D graphics to raise awareness and information about the Laje de Santos Marine State Park (Parque Estadual Marinho da Laje de Santos), the first marine park of the State of São Paulo in Brazil. The project’s main goal was to ...

Since the 2020s a phenomenon has been observed on live video platforms contemporarily to the COVID-19 pandemic, known as Virtual YouTubers, or VTubers. This type of content creator is based on the use of virtual avatars through motion capture and with ...

Amputation is a traumatic process where the person needs to start rehabilitation immediately to regain physical independence. Traditionally, rehabilitation periods take up to 12 months and have abandonment rates above 35%. Initiatives to train amputees ...

Understanding humans’ notion of depth and how they interact with stereoscopic virtual environments is still a challenge. This context encompasses investigation about how features of these environments affect the human perception of depth. This ...

A challenge in Spatial Computing considering markerless Augmented Reality is to anchor virtual objects relative to a physical space so that objects positions are stable across different tracking and augmented reality devices. This process must be stable ...

Nowadays the use of virtual reality (VR) and gamification to develop applications with a high degree of interactivity and realism became natural. VR applications often require the use of data captured from the real world to compose the virtual ...

This paper investigates different methods for generating stereoscopic views for a head-mounted smartphone augmented reality (AR). Four conditions were compared, a reference stereoscopic video, produced using two mobile phone cameras separated by 63mm, a ...

Immersive Learning is a research topic that has the potential to improve learning outcomes. Through immersive environments, students have access to new ways of viewing and interacting, providing more engagement in learning. Therefore, the objective of ...

Degenerative diseases and stroke disable many people, so investigating methods for rehabilitating patients is necessary. Thus, using the framework for creating virtual environments to work with neuromotor and neurofunctional rehabilitation, benefits can ...

The use of Augmented Reality (AR) is increasing in several application domains. However, applying AR in data center infrastructure management is still limited. Although solutions are providing DCIM (Data Center Infrastructure Management) with augmented ...

Multimodal performances aggregate multiple forms of interaction and stimulation to create artistical masterpieces. One of those performances is the Ode to Christus Hypercubus, by Jônatas Manzolli. To enhance the original version of this performance and ...

This work presents a mixed reality system for lower limb exercise that detects the user’s gait and synchronizes the Street View navigation in the display. It uses an accessible RGB camera with a computer vision approach to detect the body. 11 Elderly ...
