Abstract

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. Moreover, we show how the process of collision detection can be enhanced by using the induced semantic information.

SVEn – Shared Virtual Environment

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.
