This paper presents a novel approach for individual agent’s motion simulation in real-time virtual environments. In our model, we focus on addressing two problems: 1) the control...
We introduce a new technique of haptic guidance, for navigation and control of applications in virtual environments. We haptically simulate the collisions of the pointer with the ...
Few HMD-based virtual environment systems display a rendering of the user's own body. Subjectively, this often leads to a sense of disembodiment in the virtual world. We expl...

This paper presents a pre-orientation program for incoming college students, Active Citizenship through Technology (ACT), that engaged students in civic dialogue early in their aca...
Abstract User-centered design is often performed without regard to individual user differences. In this paper, we report results of an empirical study aimed to evaluate whether com...

—When dealing with dynamic large-scale topologies such as those underlying peer-to-peer (P2P) distributed virtual environments (DVE), one inescapably reaches the point where eith...
