Hello, I have to do a 9 hours course on Virtual Realities here at EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland. Themes are, - What is Virtual Reality and what it is useful for. - 3D Devices - Stereo Displays - 3D Interaction Techniques for controlling the Virtual Camera and Objects. - Stereopsis projections and programming. I am looking for other types of devices than Polhemus, DataGlove, and Spaceball that we have at the lab. For every devices, I would like to receive a drawing or photograph and a short explanation on how to use it and what you use it for. I am looking for pointers for stereopsis programming and also some additional information on Stereo Display (glasses, HeadMounted Display ..) Finally, every of you who run VR applications in their lab and their industry could if they want, send a Video in Pal/Ntsc to me demonstrating their application. Some short documentation could be added. Some discussions on field of use of VR applications nowadays and the future would be appreciated too. Thanks in advance, please e-mail don't post. Frank. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Francis Balaguer, DI/LIG Ecole Polytechnique Fed. de Lausanne CH-1015 Lausanne E-mail : balaguer@ligsg2.epfl.ch, balaguer@elma.epfl.ch -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
