ABSTRACT
The Virtual-Reality Peripheral Network (VRPN) system provides a device-independent and network-transparent interface to virtual-reality peripherals. VRPN's application of factoring by function and of layering in the context of devices produces an interface that is novel and powerful. VRPN also integrates a wide range of known advanced techniques into a publicly-available system. These techniques benefit both direct VRPN users and those who implement other applications that make use of VR peripherals.

Stepping off a ledge in an HMD-based immersive virtual environment
SAP '13: Proceedings of the ACM Symposium on Applied PerceptionWe explore whether a gender-matched, calibrated self-avatar affects the perception of the affordance of stepping off of a ledge, or visual cliff, in an immersive virtual environment. Visual cliffs form demonstrations in many immersive virtual ...
A dataflow representation for defining behaviours within virtual environments
VRAIS '96: Proceedings of the 1996 Virtual Reality Annual International Symposium (VRAIS 96)Construction of immersive virtual environments usually takes place outside the virtual environment in configuration files or application code. The system presented in this paper allows interaction with and behaviours of objects to be defined whilst ...
Software Techniques to Reduce Cybersickness Among Users of Immersive Virtual Reality Environments
Intelligent Information and Database SystemsAbstractThe virtual worlds are photorealistic, the users have difficulty distinguishing the reality and virtuality. The high degree of realism of artificial virtual worlds results in deep immersion in virtual environments. The users immerse themselves in ...
