Self and Body Part Localization in Virtual Reality: Comparing a Headset and a Large-Screen Immersive Display
It is currently not fully understood where people precisely locate themselves in their bodies, particularly in virtual reality. To investigate this, we asked participants to point directly at themselves and […]
A Comparison Between Two Different Approaches for a Collaborative Mixed-Virtual Environment in Industrial Maintenance

Evaluation of 3D Printed Soft Robots in Radiation Environments and Comparison With Molded Counterparts
Robots have an important role during inspection, clean-up, and sample collection in unstructured radiation environments inaccessible to humans. The advantages of soft robots, such as body morphing, high compliance, and […]
