DIVA: Natural Navigation Inside 3D Images Using Virtual Reality

DIVA Virtual Audio Reality System

A real-time virtual audio reality model has been created. The system includes model-based sound synthesizers, geometric room acoustics modeling, binaural auralization for headphone or loudspeaker listening, and high-quality animation. The design goals of the overall project have been to create a virtual musical event that is as authentic as possible both in terms of audio and visual quality. No...

Natural Language Navigation Support in Virtual Reality

We describe our work on designing a natural language accessible navigation agent for a virtual reality (VR) environment. The agent is part of an agent framework, which means that it can communicate with other agents. Its navigation task consists of guiding the visitors in the environment and to answer questions about this environment (a theatre building). Visitors are invited to explore this bu...

Feedback From Video For Virtual Reality Navigation

Embedded Virtual Views for Augmented Reality Navigation

In this paper, we present virtual embedded views used for turnbased pedestrian navigation in Augmented Reality (AR). Embedded views allow users to see around occluding structures and at the same time seamlessly integrate the augmented navigation aid into the otherwise occluded view. Users get a preview on upcoming route changes, without the need to consult an additional map view. We compare emb...

3D chromosome rendering from Hi-C data using virtual reality

Most genome browsers display DNA linearly, using single-dimensional depictions that are useful to examine certain epigenetic mechanisms such as DNA methylation. However, these representations are insufficient to visualize intrachromosomal interactions and relationships between distal genome features. Relationships between DNA regions may be difficult to decipher or missed entirely if those regi...
