Virtual reality (VR) has enjoyed significant popularity in recent years. Where navigation has
been a fundamental appeal of 3D applications for decades, facilitating this in VR has been …

Navigation is moving inside a virtual environment to reach to a desired object or location.
This paper presents a new egocentric navigation technique for exploring a virtual scene by …

In most 3D applications, travel is limited to horizontal movement. A few 3D travel techniques
allow for vertical travel, but most of them rely on “magic” abilities, such as flying. We sought …

This paper reports on the design, development and evaluation of TimeViewer, a system
allowing the storing, visualization and multimodal interaction with temporal and semantic …

Virtual Reality (VR) is envisioned to be a mainstream medium that would change how we
work, connect, and play. For this vision to be realized, however, VR must be equally …

In this paper we present a web kiosk framework based on Kinect sensor. The main idea is to
use the framework for creation of simple interactive presentations for informing, advertising …

This paper proposes a navigation technique for traveling inside a real-scale 3D model
based on human gesture analysis. In the first step, a simple threshold is used as a criterion …

In the context of developed countries, a considerable amount of research studies have been
done to make Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) as natural and intuitive as possible for the …

Navigation is one of the 3D interactions often needed to interact with a synthetic world. The
latest advancements in image processing have made possible gesture based interaction …

Body-based interaction constitutes a very intuitive way for humans to communicate with their
environment but also among themselves. Nowadays, various technological solutions allow …
