چکیده

In this paper we present a new approach towards assistance and awareness systems that exploits the duality of automated homes; the status of devices and appliances in the real world on the one hand, and their digital representation on the other hand. If the digital representation is embedded in a virtual world, i.e., a 3-D model that reflects the actual physical environment, we call this a Dual Reality (2R). The concept of Dual Reality emerges from the connection between real and virtual environments, so that they can mutually reflect and influence each other. This approach can be used to create new applications and to enhance already existing applications both in the real and also in the virtual world. In this paper, we show how the standard-based Universal Remote Console (URC) platform can be applied to Dual Reality applications and therefore can serve as an architectural foundation for synchronizing a virtual environment model with the real world.

VR Juggler – An Open Source Platform for Virtual Reality Applications

This paper describes VR Juggler, an Open Source platform used to develop and run virtual reality applications. We emphasize VR Juggler’s ability to provide a uniform VR application environment and to allow extendibility to new devices without affecting existing applications. These features enable VR applications to evolve along side other technologies with minimal or no new developmental efforts.

An Open-Source Virtual Reality Platform for Clinical and Research Applications

In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in clinical and research applications of virtual reality (VR). However, the adoption of this approach is still limited by the high costs of software development, lack of technical expertise among end-users, and the difficulty of adapting the contents of the virtual environments (VEs). To address these needs, we have designed and developed N...
