Auditory and Vestibular Control of Inverted Pendulum Dynamics in Spatial Orientation
(2019)Human standing balance requires continuously nulling the tendency to fall like an inverted pendulum, and this process relies on the convergence of information from multiple sensory modalities including vestibular, vision, ... -
Automatic Detection and Segmentation of Robot-Assisted Surgical Motions
(2007)Robotic surgical systems such as Intuitive Surgical's da Vinci system provide a rich source of motion and video data from surgical procedures. In principle, this data can be used to evaluate surgical skill, provide ... -
Camera Trackers
(1999)Tracking an object's location with inertial sensors works well over short time periods, but sensor drift and errors in integration cause errors to accumulate exponentially. Images, in contrast, work very well to determine ... -
Competence Assessment and Automated Feedback for Ultrasound-Guided Intervention Training
(2018)There is an ongoing shift in the medical education community from a time-based model of medical education to a competency-based model. In the competency-based model, trainees’ performance must be continually monitored. But ... -
COMPUTER GRAPHICS OPTIQUE: Optical Superposition of Projected Computer Graphics
(2001)We present some ideas and demonstrations for a hybrid projector-based rendering and display technique we call Computer Graphics Optique. Instead of partially overlapping projected images to achieve a wide-area display, ... -
Creating Geo-Specific Road Databases for a Real-Time Interactive Driving Simulator
(2005)Geo-specific road database development is important to a driving simulation system and a very labor intensive process. Road databases for driving simulation need high resolution and accuracy. Even though commercial ... -
Defining and Refining Frameless Rendering
(1997)Frame1ess Rendering (FR) is a rendering paradigm which performs stochastic temporal filtering by updating pixels in a random order, based on most recent available input data, and displaying them to the screen immediately ... -
The Design and Evaluation of Distributed Graph-Theoretic Heuristics for Computing Pairwise Interactions of Moving Entities
(1998)In recent years the focus of training simulations, particularly those in the defense domain, has been on increasing the number of simulated entities. This focus, coupled with the requirement for geographically ... -
The Development of a Novel Motion Cuing Algorithm for Flight Training Simulators Employing Objective Metrics for Evaluation
(2018)The value of a dynamic motion platform to the flight simulator is a controversial issue within the flight training community. The motion of the flight simulator platform has been shown to affect pilot performance and ... -
Directed Feedback for Simulation-based Training in Robot-assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery
(2016)Surgical educators have recommended the need for objective and automated teaching tools for technical skills training. Current training platforms provide automated or manual global assessments that are based on ... -
Distributed Collaborative Learning Environments
(1997)The evolution of technologies for the World Wide Web (WWW), computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW) and distributed simulation provides new opportunities for education delivery as well as unique perspectives for ... -
Driving Simulators: Are they valid test environments for ITS development?
(1998)Driving simulators are increasingly being used to test the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) that interface_ with the driver in the vehicle. Examples of such technologies include autonomous, on-board-sensors ... -
A Dual Agent Approach To Distributed Interactive Simulation Complexity
(1998)Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) provides a means to create realistic, complex, virtual environments by linking together simulations of various types at multiple locations, and structuring the information exchange ... -
Effects of Visual-Vestibular Interactions on Navigation Tasks in Virtual Environments
(2016-09-01)Virtual environments (VEs) are increasingly used as a safe, cost-effective way to train first responders and military units to search buildings and urban environments. Trainees typically view the VE on a computer screen ... -
Eikonal+ training and simulation platform: enabling a new generation of optical systems
(2017)The year of 2016 was proclaimed by many to be the year of virtual/augmented reality [Forbes]. The public attention was captured by the idea of wearable and immersive devices that can be used for communication, training, ... -
Enhancing Training and Presence in Virtual Environments Using Passive Haptics
(2001)One of the worst virtual environment experiences is to virtually contact something and feel nothing. Visual-haptic sensory conflicts are normally dominated by visual perception. Therefore, augmenting a high-fidelity ... -
Evaluating and Training Intraoperative Analysis of the Mitral Valve
(2013)Mitral valve repair is the recommended method of treating valve incompetency. However, the procedure is quite difficult and, as a result, underperformed due to surgeon’s need to predict the closed valve shape of the ... -
Evaluating Augmented Reality for Space Telerobotics Training
(2018)Despite the extensive previous research into manual tracking, to the author’s knowledge there exists no study in the literature addressing human performance or workload changes in manual tracking tasks between traditional ... -
Haptic-based Dental Procedure Training Simulator
(2005)Since the beginning of the last century, simulators have been widely used in military and aviation. Recently, the use of simulation in medicine and dentistry has brought the attention of the research community, looking ... -
Haptics-based Cataract Surgery Simulator
(2015-09-01)Surgical training using computer-based simulators are being adopted by many medical specialties, mainly because they offer several advantages to traditional training methods involving animals or cadavers. This article ...
