VIRTOSHA – A VR Training Simulation for Osteosynthesis Procedures with Force Feedback and Tissue Simulation

This paper presents a system for a shared virtual experience which was developed within a student project. The main idea is to have two or more persons at different locations, who can interact with each other in the same virtual environment. In order to realize this idea every person is motion-captured and wears a head-mounted display (HMD). The virtual environment is rendered with the Unity game engine and the tracked positions are updated via the internet. The virtual environment developed in this project is highly immersive and users felt a strong sense of presence.

Um die Attraktivität des Antizipations- und Reaktionstrainings für jugendliche Torwarte zu erhöhen war es das Ziel eine sportartspezifische Umgebung in virtueller Realität (VR) zu entwickeln.

We give an ontology for garment patterns that can be incorporated into the simulation of virtual clothing. On the basis of this ontology and extensions to garments we can specify and manipulate the process of virtual dressing on a higher semantic level.

Collision detection is an enabling technology for many virtual environments, games, and virtual prototyping applications containing some kind of physically-based simulation (such as rigid bodies, cloth, surgery, etc.). This tutorial will give an overview of the different classes of algorithms, and then provide attendees with in-depth knowledge of some of the important algorithms within each class.
