A majority of recently developed advanced vehicles have been equipped with various
automated driver assistance systems, such as adaptive cruise control (ACC) and lane …

The realism and immersion of Virtual Reality (VR) experiences depend on the quality of
interactions between the virtual hand and virtual objects. The current drawbacks, such as …

Established ergonomic practices incorporate only limited user data while designing new
handheld products and hand tools. Design of handheld products and their handles relies …

A sensory evaluation test on spherical and columnar objects with different cross-sectional
shapes was conducted to investigate their gripping comfort. The relationships of the gripping …

Abstract Background and Objective The methods proposed in literature to estimate the
position of hand joints Centers of Rotation (CoRs) typically require computationally non …

In a highly automated system, mode confusion is a significant human error factor that
contributes to accidents. To suppress mode confusion in adaptive cruise control (ACC) …

3-D hand reconstruction is required in many applications, eg, hand gesture controls, hand
modeling, biomechanical analysis, humanoid robot hand design and analysis, hand …

Hands are fundamental to conveying emotions and ideas, especially in sign language. In
the context of virtual reality, motion capture is becoming essential for mapping real human …

In this paper, we propose a new method of reconstructing hand models for individuals
including link structure models, homologous skin surface models and homologous …

To grasp an object successfully, we must select appropriate contact regions for our hands on
the surface of the object. However, identifying such regions is challenging. This paper …
