A Virtual Reality Simulation System for Flying Shears

The Design of a Performance Simulation System for Virtual Reality

We have developed a software framework for the creation of live performance simulations by non-technologists. This is a toolkit for simulating various types of cultural performances using motion capture, 3D animation, virtual reality, and reactive agents. The software allows the developer to define the components of a performance such as actors, audience members, and venue using a standard scor...

A Hybrid Virtual Reality Simulation System for Wave Energy Conversion

Virtual Reality Based Robot Graphic Simulation and Virtual Manufacturing System

This paper reports research into an interface between industry robots and Virtual Reality systems and creates a virtual robot for robot arm simulation, control language conversion, physical communication, robot networking and teleoperation control. The paper is based on an integrated manufacturing networking software which includes a PUMA robot, a Lansing welding robot, and CNC machines. The ai...

TrackFly: virtual reality for a behavioral system analysis in free-flying fruit flies.

Modern neuroscience and the interest in biomimetic control design demand increasingly sophisticated experimental techniques that can be applied in freely moving animals under realistic behavioral conditions. To explore sensorimotor flight control mechanisms in free-flying fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster), we equipped a wind tunnel with a Virtual Reality (VR) display system based on standar...

Vehicle Simulation System: Controls and Virtual-reality-based Dynamics Simulation

Abstract: This paper introduces a cable-suspended robot, the Vehicle Simulation System, designed for pilot and driver training. The main idea of this work is to make a system that will provide realistic simulations of vehicle motion using virtual reality and a motion platform. A method to produce inertial forces acting on the vehicle user is proposed. A detailed description of the robot’s dynam...
