In the context of industrial engineering, the predetermined time systems (PTS) play an important role in workplaces because inefficiencies are found in assembly processes that require manual manipulations. In this study, an approach is proposed with the aim to analyze time and motions in a manual process using a capture motion system embedded to a virtual environment. Capture motion system trac...

Creating interactive motion with existing motioncapture systems is difficult because it requires a precise preparation of the real environment. In order to resolve such a drawback, we propose a new interactive motion capture system that combines the existing motion capture system with a haptic device and a human-scale virtual environment. As our system has built virtual environment with haptic ...

We describe a telerehabilitation system that has been developed in our laboratory, and initial results following use of the system on 2 patients with stroke. The system allows a therapist in a remote location to conduct treatment sessions, using a virtualenvironment-based motor-training system, with a patient who is located at home. The system consists of a patient computer with motion-capture ...

Generating character motion from motion capture systems is difficult because they require a variety of task environments. To overcome this drawback, we constructed a reactive motion capture system that combines a conventional motion capture system with force feedback device and visual information in the human-scale virtual environment. Our purpose is to make character animations with character ...

A current trend in the gaming industry is to provide more realistic and believable looking animations. Therefore, motion capture has been used to create such animations. Lately, immersive virtual environments have been developed to support motion capture actors with their work. Using virtual environments as work environments has already been explored but no ethical analysis or applied ethical c...

A current trend in the gaming industry is to provide more realistic and believable looking animation. To support this, motion capture has been used to create such animation. Lately, immersive virtual environments have been further developed and can be used to support motion capture actors with their work. Using immersive virtual environments as work environments has already been explored, but n...
