The creation of virtual humans increasingly leverages automated synthesis of speech and gestures, enabling expressive, adaptable agents that effectively engage users. However, the independent development of voice and gesture generation…
Human sensory processing is sensitive to the proximity of stimuli to the body. It is therefore plausible that these perceptual mechanisms also modulate the detectability of content in VR, depending on its location. We evaluate this in a…
Object handover is a common form of interaction that is widely present in collaborative tasks. However, achieving it efficiently remains a challenge. We address the problem of ensuring resilient robotic actions that can adapt to complex…
Robotic telemanipulation - the human-guided manipulation of remote objects - plays a pivotal role in several applications, from healthcare to operations in harsh environments. While visual feedback from cameras can provide valuable…
User's perception of product, by essence subjective, is a major topic in marketing and industrial design. Many methods, based on users' tests, are used so as to characterise this perception. We are interested in three main methods:…
We investigate the perception of visual variables on wall-sized tiled displays within an immersive environment. We designed and conducted two formal user studies focusing on elementary visualization reading tasks in VR. The first study…
Affective touch offers positive psychological and physiological benefits such as the mitigation of stress and pain. If a robot could realize human-like affective touch, it would open up new application areas, including supporting care work.…
Our system introduces a modularized pneumatic actuating unit capable of delivering vibration, pressure, and impact feedback. Designed for adaptability, these modular tactile actuating units can be rapidly customized and reconfigured to suit…
Recognizing faces and their underlying emotions is an important aspect of biometrics. In fact, estimating emotional states from faces has been tackled from several angles in the literature. In this paper, we follow the novel route of using…
Motivated by the growing interest in enhancing intuitive physical Human-Machine Interaction (HRI/HVI), this study aims to propose a robust tactile hand gesture recognition system. We performed a comprehensive evaluation of different hand…
Improving object manipulation skills through hand-object interaction exercises is crucial for rehabilitation. Despite limited healthcare resources, physical therapists propose remote exercise routines followed up by remote monitoring.…
The limited expressiveness of virtual user representations in Mixed Reality and Virtual Reality can inhibit an integral part of communication: emotional expression. Emotion recognition based on face tracking is often used to compensate for…
Although Virtual Reality (VR) has undoubtedly improved human interaction with 3D data, users still face difficulties retaining important details of complex digital objects in preparation for physical tasks. To address this issue, we…
3D Virtual Human technology is growing with several potential applications in health, education, business and telecommunications. Investigating the perception of these virtual humans can help guide to develop better and more effective…
One of the key challenges in the field of haptic research is designing plausible stimuli using haptic interfaces with limited degrees of freedom. Although the plausible approach, which simplifies and/or exaggerates stimuli to enhance…
Affect (emotion) recognition has gained significant attention from researchers in the past decade. Emotion-aware computer systems and devices have many applications ranging from interactive robots, intelligent online tutor to emotion based…
Authoring realistic haptic textures typically requires low-level parameter tuning and repeated trial-and-error, limiting speed, transparency, and creative reach. We present a language-driven authoring system that turns natural-language…
Although it has been shown that augmented multimodal feedback has a facilitatory effect on motor performance for motor learning and music training, the functionality of haptic feedback combined with other modalities in rhythmic movement…
Mapping discrete and dimensional models of emotion remains a persistent challenge in affective science and computing. This incompatibility hinders the combination of valuable data sets, creating a significant bottleneck for training robust…
Virtual Reality (VR) users often encounter postural instability, i.e., balance issues, which can be a significant impediment to universal usability and accessibility, particularly for those with balance impairments. Prior research has…
