Adapting VRML for free-form immersed manipulation
Randy Stiles, Sandeep Tewari, Mihir Mehta, Laurie McCarthy · 1998
We have extended the VRML standard to allow free-form manipulation of objects while immersed. Our driving goal was immersed training for equipment operations and maintenance, and to this end we developed a sensor that allows 6DOF manipulation, a cooperating sensor that allows snapping objects into place as part of an assembly, and a two-handed manipulation approach for these sensors.
