Survey of Virtual Reality Interactions via Haptic Solutions In the past few years, the terms “Virtual Reality” and “Haptics” have been amongst the most quoted keywords in HCI conferences. Why enabling haptics in VR? Virtual Reality experiences are evaluated in terms of presence. Presence is the feeling of being in another place than the one we are actually in. It heavily relies on the users’ senses. Currently, immersion and realism levels in terms of vision and auditory cues are really…

All the details regarding CoVR and the interactions it enables will be available soon. Nevertheless, the technical aspect of CoVR and its control are defined in the next paragraphs. A UnityPackage to replicate our controls/models is available below. We present in the paper a model to control the robot displacements. While trajectories are easily generated by the Cartesian structure (XY displacements), the algorithm inputs for scenarios involving multiple objects of interest need to be defined and safety measures around the…

This project consists of a wearable device for the elderly. Its aim is two-fold: (1) preventing independent people from becoming frail people, and (2) detecting the degradation of one’s health and bring assistance. New technologies currently allow to track patients from home, but also act as motivational coaches. First, patients become aware of their own health state. Second, they actually improve it to be able to share data with a doctor or even with friends. Prevention Detection My work on…
