Recent efforts aimed at improving the scalability of the JavaTM platform have focused primarily on the safe collocation of multiple applications in the virtual machine. This is of...
Several studies from different research groups investigating perception of absolute, egocentric distances in virtual environments have reported a compression of the intended size ...

Dynamic properties of robotic manipulators, including inertia, damping, and friction, limit the transparency of a haptic-feedback teleoperator. In this paper, we develop a positio...
Virtual storytelling often uses a fixed, pre-scripted storyline, constraining the characters’ autonomy and behaviour. An agent-based approach provides possibilities of a narrati...
We discuss issues in designing virtual humans for applications which require long-term voluntary use, and the problem of maintaining engagement with users over time. Concepts and t...
