Since the publication of the first FTIR multi-touch interaction system, the public attention for the field of Single Display Groupware (SDG) has been rising constantly. Lately, former SDG systems with multi-interaction capabilities like DiamondTouch, reacTable, or Microsoft Surface have been followed by promising systems, i.e. ThinSight and MightyTrace. The latter integrate their tracking technology...

It gives designers possibility to create different types of knitting structures, such as: jacquard, intarsia, gusset, lace, arans, cables and others similar. The paper presents the general structure of CAD...
Virtual slaughtering and dissection is a way to learn about anatomy and dissect animals without harming any real-life animals or feeling ill from that nauseating formaldehyde smell. The virtual slaughtering and dissections also have detailed scientific explanations.We are to develop interactive virtual environments that can simulate several common tasks performed during animal dissection. In this...
Focusing on application and development of ActiveX control used in simulation system, this paper introduces the method to achieve the NI virtual instrumentation control and use GL Studio software to generate ActiveX Control in the VC++ development environment. With an example of using GL Studio software, it introduces a method of generating ActiveX control based on the idea of designing NI virtual...
In this paper is described the process that should be done for developing a interactive tool for supporting the musical learning specifically on how to play a flute on its basics. This device has two main stages, the first one takes over the teaching part and guidance to the student by an software interface and the second one has the responsibility of captured how is being played the flute using a...
This paper presents the design and implementation of algorithms for a new graphical operations interface system specifically adapted to operating modular reconfigurable articulated surface systems. Geometric models of heterogeneous robot modules may be connected and disconnected in this interface via drag-and-drop interaction. The resulting assemblies may further be kinematically operated through...
Mixed reality techniques have high potential to support the development of complex systems that operate in a real world environment, especially mechatronic systems. In our paper we present the Mixed Reality in the Loop design process that enables a seamless progression from an initial virtual prototype to the final system along the mixed reality continuum.
In order to improve the observation efficiency of the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Survey Telescope (LAMOST) and facilitate the operation, Virtual Reality (VR) technology is used to realize the graphic control interface of LAMOST. It is difficult to create the complicated 3D models for the LAMOST VR system by using traditional modeling methods. A new method is proposed. Firstly,...
Compared with the 2D configuration software, the user interface become realistic and friendly, and it can reflect the devices running status in the industrial field so realistically of the 3D configuration software. The window information content has a enormous enhancement using 3D user interface. But it has increased the difficulty of the human-computer interaction in the procedures of the configuration...
Using 3D user interface in the configuration software, the user interface can become realistic and friendly. And it can reflect the devices running status in the industrial field so realistically. Moreover, it can avoid the window effect effectively due to the screen size influence. The window information content has the enormous enhancement. But it brings some other problems such as configuration...
While doing a usability evaluation of an augmented reality application (FurnitAR), interesting aspects of the application in regards to collaborative design were uncovered. FurnitAR can perhaps make one step in the furniture design process - the creation of a mock-up model in for instance cardboard - more efficient. FurnitAR was proposed as a solution to make the creation of mock-ups more in line...
3D modeling softwares are widely used in many engineering field such as mining machinery, aerospace, transportation and petrochemical. Bolt is a common part for engineering, but for some bolts it is still tedious to build the 3D models. To build the accurate 3D model of bolt is significant for finite element analysis and digital simulation. For this reason a design system was developed with VC and...
Three dimensional modeling and simulation software are becoming more widespread in many fields with the emphasis on engineering, military and medical applications. The main important features of these applications are fast prototyping, simulation of scientific and engineering problems under different conditions and interactive user interface. Therefore, an opportunity for a fast visual education course...
A novel 3D interactive simulation system for Li/MnO2 coin cell production line was presented in this paper. In order to solve the shortcomings of using traditional solid model for static simulation, the 3D visualization of the model and interactive motion simulation for Li/MnO2 coin cell production line was realized by AutoCAD/3dsmax/VR-Platform interaction through the external software interface...
The concept of the huggable robot Probo is a result of the desire to improve the living conditions of children in hospital environment. These children need distraction and lots of information. In this paper the concept of a new social robot is presented. This robot can be used in hospitals, as a tele-interface for entertainment, communication and medical assistance. Besides the prototype of the real...

The design method of the...
In this paper we describe the design of a (kind of) locomotion interface to the virtual environment for mobility training to enhance mobility skills of persons with limited vision. The design goal is to allow a user to walk on the device with limited size, and to give them the sensation of walking on an unconstrained plane to acquire spatial knowledge of an area. Many researchers have tried treadmill,...
The test and training enabling architecture (TENA) supports the rapid, reliable, decentralized and collaborative development of applications for large-scale, high-performance, distributed, real-time and embedded systems.The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) uses TENA for distributed testing and training, combining the use of real sensor systems with data from virtual and constructive simulations. Such...
Virtual reality (VR) is a high-end human computer interface that strives to immerse the designers and users completely in a virtual interactive environment for a simulation of real world. In order to meet the requirements of market competition, VR technologies can not only reduce effectively the time and cost, but also optimize complex products in the design process. PVAS (Products Virtual Analysis...
