The article focuses on the use of virtual environments for the rehabilitation of visual disorders. The introduction describes the essence of deploying virtual environments using image stereoscopy and virtual cave technology. From a user and system interaction , it describes the current state for monitor users view in the virtual cave environment. By classifying visual […]
The article focuses on the virtual cave system in LIRKIS laboratory, at the Technical University in Košice. LIRKIS Virtual Cave uses a cluster computing for 3D scene rendering and provides interactions between the user and the system. The use of virtual scenes is extensible of rehabilitation activities for handicapped people. The description of the LIRKIS […]
LIRKIS CAVE, designed and built at the home institution of the authors, is an immersive virtual reality environment of unique, cylinder based construction with stereoscopic video output provided by twenty 55” 3D LCD displays. While the visualization engine of the CAVE is optimized for the unusual display arrangement, motion tracking and 3D mouse input, it […]
The paper presents LIRKIS CAVE, a Cave Automatic Virtual Environment, developed and built at the home institution of authors. The most significant features of LIRKIS CAVE are a compact and transportable design and use of LCD displays, organized in a decagon. The CAVE is described in terms of hardware and software and its performance is […]
The article describes virtual reality in the context of the education process of handycapped people. The results and outcomes obtained in the framework of the research and other projects in the LIRKIS laboratory working at the DCI FEEI TU Košice are the main basis of this article. One part is reflection on the possible impacts […]
Virtual reality systems create interaction between users and virtual environment. There are several types of I / O control devices to achieve quality between user and system interaction. Current hand-held and armband devices detect the tension of the user’s muscles. The article compares the different types of muscle tension monitoring with different devices. At the […]
The day-to-day use of smart phones and other personal computers has become part of everyone. In spite of the great advances in recent times, the control of these devices is relatively limited by monotonous input devices. People with upper limb disabilities have a major problem when using traditional input devices. The main purpose of this […]
This paper describes a security area of the user interface for persons with reduced security awareness. The introduction is a description of some related projects, particularly with a focus on interface systems for the disabled users. Then there is a description of the possibilities of customizing the user interface and its ergonomics. There are also […]
Information technologies impact our daily life in many significant ways. Nevertheless, there is a lack of availability of some technologies to the wide public caused by their location and price. This insufficiency seems to be even bigger for disabled people. LIRKIS laboratory of Technical university of Košice proposes solutions in education of these people and […]
Abstract: Article deals with the possibilities of interaction in virtual reality (VR) systems with application to disabled persons. Using these technologies and appropriate learning methods can improve, accelerate and facilitate the learning of disabled children. For this reason, further development is directed to extend the interaction in VR systems (specifically CAVE LIRKIS). There are many […]
