      Lécuyer, Flavien; Gouranton, Valérie; Reuzeau, Adrien; Gaugne, Ronan; Arnaldi, Bruno (The Eurographics Association, 2019)
      The demand for augmented reality applications is rapidly growing. In many domains, we observe a new interest for this technology, stressing the need for more efficient ways of producing augmented content. Similarly to ...

    • Automatic Labeling of Training Data by Vowel Recognition for Mouth Shape Recognition with Optical Sensors Embedded in Head-Mounted Display 

      Nakamura, Fumihiko; Suzuki, Katsuhiro; Masai, Katsutoshi; Itoh, Yuta; Sugiura, Yuta; Sugimoto, Maki (The Eurographics Association, 2019)
      Facial expressions enrich communication via avatars. However, in common immersive virtual reality (VR) systems, facial occlusions by head-mounted displays (HMD) lead to difficulties in capturing users' faces. In particular, ...

    • Evaluation of a Mixed Reality based Method for Archaeological Excavation Support 

      Gaugne, Ronan; Petit, Quentin; Otsuki, Mai; Gouranton, Valérie; Nicolas, Théophane (The Eurographics Association, 2019)
      In the context of archaeology, most of the time, micro-excavation for the study of furniture (metal, ceramics...) or archaeological context (incineration, bulk sampling) is performed without complete knowledge of the ...

    • Evaluation of Embodied Agent Positioning and Moving Interfaces for an AR Virtual Guide 

      Techasarntikul, Nattaon; Ratsamee, Photchara; Orlosky, Jason; Mashita, Tomohiro; Uranishi, Yuki; Kiyokawa, Kiyoshi; Takemura, Haruo (The Eurographics Association, 2019)
      Augmented Reality (AR) has become a popular technology in museums, and many venues now provide AR applications inside gallery spaces. To improve museum tour experiences, we have developed an embodied agent AR guide system ...

    • Evaluation of Proxemics in Dynamic Interaction with a Mixed Reality Avatar Robot 

      Zhang, Jingxin; Janeh, Omar; Katzakis, Nikolaos; Krupke, Dennis; Steinicke, Frank (The Eurographics Association, 2019)
      We present a mixed-reality avatar arm swing technique to subtly communicate the velocity of a robotic it is attached to. We designed and performed a series of studies to investigate the effectiveness of this method and the ...

    • Evaluation of Virtual Reality Tracking Systems Underwater 

      Costa, Raphael; Guo, Rongkai; Quarles, John (The Eurographics Association, 2019)
      The objective of this research is to compare the effectiveness of various virtual reality tracking systems underwater. There have been few works in aquatic virtual reality (VR) - i.e., VR systems that can be used in a real ...

    • FaceDrive: Facial Expression Driven Operation to Control Virtual Supernumerary Robotic Arms 

      Fukuoka, Masaaki; verhulst, adrien; Nakamura, Fumihiko; Takizawa, Ryo; Masai, Katsutoshi; Sugimoto, Maki (The Eurographics Association, 2019)
      Supernumerary Robotic Limbs (SRLs) can make physical activities easier, but require cooperation with the operator. To improve cooperation between the SRLs and the operator, the SRLs can try to predict the operator's ...

    • Forty Years of Telexistence —From Concept to TELESAR VI (Invited Talk) 

      Tachi, Susumu (Eurographics Association, 2019-09-11)
      Telexistence is a human-empowerment concept that enables a human in one location to virtually exist in another location and to act freely there. The term also refers to the system of science and technology that enables ...

    • ICAT-EGVE 2019: Frontmatter 

      Kakehi, Yasuaki; Hiyama, Atsushi (Eurographics Association, 2019)

    • Interactive and Immersive Tools for Point Clouds in Archaeology 

      Gaugne, Ronan; Petit, Quentin; BARREAU, Jean-Baptiste; Gouranton, Valérie (The Eurographics Association, 2019)
      In this article, we present a framework for an immersive and interactive 3D manipulation of large point clouds, in the context of an archaeological study. The framework was designed in an interdisciplinary collaboration ...

    • Model and Tools for Integrating IoT into Mixed Reality Environments: Towards a Virtual-Real Seamless Continuum 

      Lacoche, Jérémy; Le Chénéchal, Morgan; Villain, Eric; Foulonneau, Anthony (The Eurographics Association, 2019)
      This paper introduces a new software model and new tools for managing indoor smart environments (smart home, smart building, smart factories, etc.) thanks to MR technologies. Our fully-integrated solution is mainly based ...
