Hybrid User Interface using Head Mounted Display. This work presents an alternative to include immersive virtual reality in hybrid user interfaces in a common desktop setup. In addition, it is proposed the integration of a 2D WIMP (Windows, Icons, Menus and Pointing Device) environment with virtual and augmented reality interactive environments in the hybrid interface. |

HybridDesk - An Approach for Transitions between Interfaces in Semi-Immersive Hybrid System. This Thesis aims to propose a technological setup (a set of interaction devices) to integrate the advantages of different functional environments. The transitional interactions between them are explored by investigating the design properties (dimensional congruency and properties of continuity) during the 3D annotation task execution. In order to achieve such a goal, a semi-immersive environment composed of 3 functional environments was developed. That composition includes a set of devices enabling the tasks of text edition (2D), navigation and manipulation (3D). Assuming that 3D annotation forces transitions between the integrated functional spaces, an exploratory study was conducted with users to investigate the behavior of interaction during these transitions by identifying the influence of the design properties discussed in this work. pdf Video1 Video2 Youtube link |

Environ: Virtual reality Tool for Engineering Projects (VrOutput Module). Environ is an application driven by demand in the use of Virtual Reality (VR) in large engineering models generated by CAD tools. The main objective of Environ to provide resources for CAD models of 3D visualization with enough realism to be used for simulation and analysis of offshore operations, virtual prototyping, design review, training, among other activities. More recently, the 3D CAD models have begun to show its potential for other purposes, such as ergonomic studies, safety training, physical simulations, documentation of project and monitoring of operational data in real time. However, there are still many challenges in the use of VR models in CAD as well interaction issues with that. VrOutput is module of Envrion to handle the screens output (4 sides CAVE ,2 sides Workbenchs,...) by creating and managing dynamic multi-frustum setups. . |
