    • Anatomy-Inspired Weight for Real-time Character Animation 

      Kim, YoungBeom; Park, Byung-Ha; Jung, Kwang-Mo; Han, JungHyun (The Eurographics Association, 2016)
      In this paper, the use of anatomy-inspired weight (AIW) is proposed to automatically compute the skinning weights for realtime character animation. AIW is modeled as a function of the anatomical distance to consider ...

    • Force Feedback Device using Electro-Rheological Gel and One-sided Pattern Electrodes 

      Miyama, K.; Koyanagi, K.; Kakinuma, Y.; Anzai, H.; Sakurai, K.; Sawai, K.; Motoyoshi, T.; Masuta, H.; Oshima, T. (The Eurographics Association, 2016)
      We develop a force feedback device that generates rotational and translational resistive forces using electro-rheological (ER) gel with one-sided pattern electrodes. ER gel is a functional material in which applied electric ...

    • Video Guides on Head-Mounted Displays: The Effect of Misalignments on Manual Task Performance 

      Pathirathna, Shalika; Sandor, Christian; Taketomi, Takafumi; Plopski, Alexander; Kato, Hirokazu (The Eurographics Association, 2016)
      Head-Mounted Displays (HMD) are becoming widely available at affordable prices. A typical application of HMDs is supporting users when perform manual tasks. However, displaying information on a HMD without any registration ...

    • Superimposing Questioner on Presentation Screen Using Microphone with Whole-Sky Camera 

      Kobayashi, Yuki; Funahashi, Kenji (The Eurographics Association, 2016)
      Academic conferences are usually held at a large hall. It is difficult that audiences watch the facial expression and gesture of a presenter there. Sometimes the presenter is shot by video camera and projected onto another ...

    • A Study of Sense of Self-agency Focused on Cross-correlation and Delay Between Action and Effect in Continuous Operation 

      Kataoka, Toshiki; Funahashi, Kenji; Tanida, Koji; Yashiro, Katsuya (The Eurographics Association, 2016)
      Sense of self-agency has been proposed in psychology field, and it is the sense that I am the initiator or source of the action. We discuss it on continuous operation to find out the transition of the sense for a change ...
