In case of doubt, one follows one's self: the implicit guidance of the embodied self-avatar

Ronan Boulic, Bruno Herbelin, Loën Boban

The sense of embodiment in virtual reality (VR) is commonly understood as the subjective experience that one's physical body is substituted by a virtual counterpart, and is typically achieved when the avatar's body, seen from a first-person view, moves lik ...

Microgravity induces overconfidence in perceptual decision-making

Leyla Loued-Khenissi, Davide Scaramuzza, Christian Pfeiffer

Does gravity affect decision-making? This question comes into sharp focus as plans for interplanetary human space missions solidify. In the framework of Bayesian brain theories, gravity encapsulates a strong prior, anchoring agents to a reference frame via ...

The Impact of Virtual Reality and Viewpoints in Body Motion Based Drone Teleoperation

Dario Floreano, Fabrizio Schiano, Matteo Macchini, Manana Lortkipanidze

The operation of telerobotic systems can be a challenging task, requiring intuitive and efficient interfaces to enable inexperienced users to attain a high level of proficiency. Body-Machine Interfaces (BoMI) represent a promising alternative to standard c ...

FlyJacket: An Upper Body Soft Exoskeleton for Immersive Drone Control

David Atienza Alonso, Dario Floreano, Stefano Mintchev, Fabio Isidoro Tiberio Dell'Agnola, Carine Rognon, Alexandre Thierry Cherpillod

Most human–drone interfaces, such as joysticks and remote controllers, require attention and developed skills during teleoperation. Wearable interfaces could enable a more natural and intuitive control of drones, which would make this technology accessible ...

Characterizing first and third person viewpoints and their alternation for embodied interaction in virtual reality

Olaf Blanke, Ronan Boulic, Bruno Herbelin, Roy Salomon, Henrique Galvan Debarba, Sidney Bovet

Empirical research on the bodily self has shown that the body representation is malleable, and prone to manipulation when conflicting sensory stimuli are presented. Using Virtual Reality (VR) we assessed the effects of manipulating multisensory feedback (f ...

Motor imagery in spinal cord injured people is modulated by somatotopic coding, perspective taking, and post-lesional chronic pain

Polona Pozeg, Michele Scandola

Motor imagery (MI) allows one to mentally represent an action without necessarily performing it. Importantly, however, MI is profoundly influenced by the ability to actually execute actions, as demonstrated by the impairment of this ability as a consequenc ...

Those are Your Legs: The Effect of Visuo-Spatial Viewpoint on Visuo-Tactile Integration and Body Ownership

Olaf Blanke, Polona Pozeg

Experiencing a body part as one's own, i.e., body ownership, depends on the integration of multisensory bodily signals (including visual, tactile, and proprioceptive information) with the visual top down signals from peripersonal space. Although it has bee ...

Characterizing Embodied Interaction in First and Third Person Perspective Viewpoints

Ronan Boulic, Bruno Herbelin, Eray Molla, Henrique Galvan Debarba

Third Person Perspective (3PP) viewpoints have the potential to expand how one perceives and acts in a virtual environment. They offer increased awareness of the posture and of the surrounding of the virtual body as compared to First Person Perspective (1P ...

The Brain Network reflecting Bodily Self-Consciousness: a functional connectivity study

Olaf Blanke, Roy Salomon, Roberto Martuzzi, Silvio Ionta

Several brain regions are important for processing self-location and first-person perspective, two important aspects of bodily self-consciousness. However, the interplay between these regions has not been clarified. In addition, while self-location and fir ...

Multisensory Origin of the Subjective First-Person Perspective: Visual, Tactile, and Vestibular Mechanisms

Olaf Blanke, Roberto Martuzzi, Christophe Lopez, Christian Pfeiffer, Valentin Marc Schmutz, Julio Duenas

In three experiments we investigated the effects of visuo-tactile and visuo-vestibular conflict about the direction of gravity on three aspects of bodily self-consciousness: self-identification, self-location, and the experienced direction of the first-per ...

Quantifying effects of exposure to the third and first-person perspectives in virtual-reality-based training

Daniel Thalmann, Olaf Blanke, Ravi Tej Sai Giridhar Tadi, Patrick Salamin, Frédéric Vexo

In the recent years, usage of the third-person perspective (3PP) in virtual training methods has become increasingly viable and despite the growing interest in virtual reality and graphics underlying third-person perspective usage, not many studies have sy ...

Providing the best Third-Person Perspective to a Video-Through HMD

Daniel Thalmann, Patrick Salamin, Frédéric Vexo

This paper describes a system with several fixed cameras that provide Third-Person Perspective (3PP) to the video-through HMD of the user. Once done, our system uses an algorithm to make intelligent switches between the different cameras in order to provid ...

Intelligent switch: An algorithm to provide the best third-person perspective in augmented reality

Daniel Thalmann, Patrick Salamin, Frédéric Vexo

Augmented reality (AR) environments are suffering from a limited workspace. In addition, registration issues are also increased by the use of a mobile camera on the user that provides a first-person perspective (1PP). Using several fixed cameras reduces th ...

Characterizing full-body reach duration across task and viewpoint modalities

Daniel Thalmann, Ronan Boulic, Damien Maupu

The full-body control of virtual characters is a promising technique for application fields such as Virtual Prototyping. However it is important to assess to what extent the user full-body behavior is modified when immersed in a virtual environment. In the ...

Improved Third-Person Perspective: a solution reducing occlusion of the 3PP?

Daniel Thalmann, Patrick Salamin, Frédéric Vexo

Pre-existing researches [Salamin et al. 2006] showed that Third-Person Perspective (3PP) enhances user navigation in 3D virtual environments by reducing proprio-perception issues. Nevertheless, this approach has shown drawbacks related to occlusions and ad ...

Compact Modeling of Suspended Gate FET

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Michel Declercq, Yogesh Singh Chauhan, Dimitrios Tsamados, Nicolas Abelé, Christoph Eggimann

For the first time, a compact model for suspended gate (SG) FET valid for entire bias range is proposed. The model is capable of simulating both pull-in and pull-out effects, which are the two important phenomena of this device. A novel hybrid numerical si ...

The Benefits of Third-Person Perspective in Virtual and Augmented Reality?

Daniel Thalmann, Patrick Salamin, Frédéric Vexo

Instead of the reality in which you can see your own limbs, in virtual reality simulations it is sometimes disturbing not to be able to see your own body. It seems to create an issue in the proprioperception of the user who does not completely feel integra ...
