Virtual environments (VEs) very often contain buildings that have to be navigated by users. In the literature, several navigation aids based on maps have been proposed for VEs, bu...
Grid computing intends to share heterogeneous resources in dynamic service-based environments. This kind of systems has the major advantages of enabling rapid composition of distr...
Inspection of an environment is often limited to a single video feed, provenient from a camera assembled on a mobile robot. This is known as the keyhole effect. In addition to thi...
Grid environments enable users to share non-dedicated resources that lack performance guarantees. This paper describes the design of application-centric middleware components to a...
We report an experimental high- delity system for making psychophysical measurements on human operators performing real, virtual, and real-remote 3D haptic manipulation tasks. Ope...
