This paper presents our experience towards the conception of a virtual reality medical simulator coupled with haptic interaction aimed at training surgeons. This area of research h...
: Studierstube is an operating system for applications in virtual reality. It supports multiple users collaborating in a distributed system. While initially developed for scientifi...
We present a framework for visualizing remote distributed data sources using a multi-user immersive virtual reality environment. DIVE-ON is a system prototype that consolidates dis...
Virtual reality has been proposed as a training regime for a large number of tasks from surgery rehearsal (cf. [Robb et al. 1996], to combat simulation (cf. [U. S. Congress, Offi...
We present a novel class of virtual reality input devices that combine pop through buttons with 6 DOF trackers. Compared to similar devices that use conventional buttons, pop thro...

In virtual environments, perceived egocentric distances are consistently underestimated when compared to the same distance judgments in the real world. The research presented in t...
The availability of inexpensive and powerful graphics cards as well as fast Internet connections make Networked Virtual Environments viable for millions of users and many new appl...
In this paper, we describe simple techniques for object group manipulation, an important operation in user interaction with a Virtual Environment. All presented manipulation techn...
This paper focuses on the distributed architecture of the collaborative augmented reality system Studierstube. The system allows multiple users to experience a shared 3D workspace...
