Manipulating Objects Behind Obstacles

چکیده
This paper describes various techniques of accessing objects hidden behind obstacles in virtual environments. We show some of well known interaction techniques that are suitable for usage in this case. Next, we introduce new Head Manipulator method and several aids that allow a user to change the visibility of objects. We propose several combinations of interaction techniques and discuss their suitability for the given task. Finally, we describe our experiments when testing these methods and then we conclude with the results from the experiments and from users’ observations.

Manipulating deformable linear objects – Contact states and point contacts –
The task of handling non-rigid one-dimensional objects by a robot manipulation system is investigated. To distinguish between different non-rigid object behaviors, five classes of deformable objects from a robotic point of view are proposed. Additionally, an enumeration of all possible contact states of one-dimensional objects with polyhedral obstacles is provided. Finally, the qualitative moti...
متن کاملQuantitative assessment of the effectiveness of using display techniques with a haptic device for manipulating 3D objects in virtual environments
Quantitative assessment is made of using two display techniques, providing two different levels of depth perception, in conjunction with a haptic device for manipulating 3D objects in virtual environments. The two display techniques are 2D display, and interactive 3D stereoscopic virtual holography display on a zSpace tablet. Experiments were conducted, by several users of different ages and co...
متن کاملThe Vision System of the ACROBOTER Project
The ACROBOTER project aims to develop a radically new locomotion technology that can effectively be used in a home and/or in a workplace environment for manipulating small objects autonomously. It extends the workspace of existing indoor service robots in the vertical direction, whilst its novel structure allows covering the whole volume of a room. For the adequate accomplishment of demanding m...
متن کاملRationale for the Design of Persistence and Query Processing Facilities in the Database Programming Language O++
ODE is a database system and environment based on the object paradigm. It offers one integrated data model for both database and general purpose manipulation. The database is defined, queried, and manipulated in the database programming language O++, an extension of C++. O++ uses the C++ object definition facility, called the class, to provide data encapsulation and multiple inheritance. O++ ex...
متن کاملGeneration of Orthorectified Range Images for Robots Using Monocular Vision and Laser Stripes
−− Range images have a key role for surface mapping in robot navigation and control. The robot control system can easily identify objects and obstacles by manipulating range images, however most of these range images are acquired in perspective projection, thus object position may be incorrect due to distortion caused by the perspective effect. This paper proposes an easy and efficient way to a...
