A central element of surgical simulators is the generation of appropriate haptic feedback. Several factors influence this rendering process, which could potentially degrade the f...
A novel teleoperation interface is introduced featuring an integrated virtual reality based simulation augmented by sensors and image processing capabilities on-board the remotely...
3D information systems for education must be investigated and adopted for a more involving form of learning. It is in this context that we propose the use of Second Life as an env...
A conceptual model of a virtual world is a high-level representation of how the objects behave and how they are related to each other. The conceptual models identify the most esse...
