Abstract

In this paper, we present a possible guideline towards a coupled simulation of textiles and human soft tissue. We have developed a new simulator for soft tissue which is able to simulate the skin of a virtual human in a realistic manner. This simulator is coupled with a cloth simulator so that both human skin and textiles can be simulated in parallel with mutual interaction and deformation. The described system allows the adjustment of several material parameters of the skin and many aspects of the skin’s behavior especially shape and volume preservation are considered. The simulation of the functionality of certain cloth types such as forming and supporting the human skin as well as an improved control of the correct fit is permitted by the coupled simulation of cloth and skin.

Immersive Exploration of OSGi-based Software Systems in Virtual Reality

We present an approach for exploring OSGi-based software systems in virtual reality. We employ an island metaphor, which represents every module as a distinct island. The resulting island system is displayed in the confines of a virtual table, where users can explore the software visualization on multiple levels of granularity by performing intuitive navigational tasks. Our approach allows users to get a first overview about the complexity of an OSGi-based software system by interactively exploring its modules as well as the dependencies between them.

Using MQTT for Platform Independent RemoteMixed Reality Collaboration

In this paper, we present a Mixed Reality telepresence system that allows the connection of multiple AR or VR devices to create a shared virtual environment by using the simple MQTT networking protocol. It follows a subscribe-publish pattern for reliable and easy platform independent integration. Therefore, it is possible to realize different clients that handle communication and allow remote collaboration. To allow embodied natural human interaction, the system maps the human interaction channels, gestures, gaze and speech, to an abstract stylized avatar by using an upper body inverse kinematic approach. This setup allows spatially separated persons to interact with each other via an avatar-mediated communication.
