Item Simulation of Ancient TechnologyWorks Using Haptic Interaction and Gesture Recognition(The Eurographics Association, 2004) Nikolakis, G.; Tzovaras, D.; Malassiotis, S.; Strintzis, M. G.; Y. Chrysanthou and K. Cain and N. Silberman and F. NiccolucciThe objective of the proposed application is the development of a new interactive application for the simulation of Ancient Greek Technology works, with the use of advanced virtual reality and computer vision technologies. In order to achieve these objectives haptic interaction mechanisms and a gesture recognition system were implemented in a virtual environment platform. A novel collision detection method was developed and virtual reality agents were used in order to achieve the desired results. The developed system was evaluated by real users and conclusions were drawn concerning the potentiality of the proposed application.
