Immersion, interaction, and imagination are three features of virtual reality (VR). Existing VR
systems possess fairly realistic visual and auditory feedbacks, and however, are poor with …

Interacting with virtual objects with haptic feedback directly using the user's hand (hand-
based haptic interaction) has attracted increasing attention. Due to the high degrees of …

Upon publication almost 15 years ago, the first edition almost instantly became a trusted
reference, setting the stage for the coming decade, in which the explosion in research and …

Natural human computer interaction motivates hand tracking research, preferably without
requiring the user to wear special hardware or markers. Ideally, a hand tracking solution …

We propose an efficient physics-based method for dexterousreal hand'-virtual
object'interaction in Virtual Reality environments. Our method is based on the Coulomb …

Interaction in virtual reality (VR) environments (eg grasping and manipulating virtual objects)
is essential to ensure a pleasant and immersive experience. In this work, we propose a …

Natural hand-based interaction should feature hand motion that adapts smoothly to the
tracked user's motion, reacts robustly to contact with objects in a virtual environment, and …

Interactive dexterous manipulation of virtual objects remains a complex challenge that
requires both appropriate hand models and accurate physically-based simulation of …

We use our hands every day: to grasp a cup of coffee, write text on a keyboard, or signal that
we are about to say something important. We use our hands to interact with our environment …

We present a method to render virtual touch, such that the stimulus produced by a tactile
device on a user's skin matches the stimulus computed in a virtual environment simulation …
