    Collocated learning experience within collaborative augmented environment (anatomy course)
    (IEEE, 2017) Touel, Sofiane; Mekkadem, Mounir; Kenoui, Mouna; Benbelkacem, Samir
    Nowadays, collaborative systems and applications are widely used to allow multiple users to work together in order to achieve one same goal. In the field of virtual and augmented realities, such collaboration is often sought to effectuate complex activities in some relevant experiences. Users can share virtual objects, but most importantly, they use collaborative 3D interaction, visualize their objects manipulation in real time and communicate with each other to coordinate their actions efficiently. These users will, therefore, be able to work together in a shared virtual environment to carry out different tasks. In this paper, we present our work related to the design and implementation of a collaborative augmented system, our application introduces a multi-users experience in a face-to-face configuration and can be used by the students in anatomy course

    Wearable haptic grasping device for virtual reality equipped with kinaesthetic, cutaneous and thermal feedback
    (2020) Bentaleb, Ahmed; Benbelkacem, Samir; Zitouni, Abdelkader ( supervisor)
    To grasp and manipulate objects in the real world, humans rely on fingertip contact pressure and kinaesthetic feedback of finger positions to determine proprioceptive, shape and cutaneous feedback of the object grasped. In order to elaborate haptic interfaces that can provide a realistic grasping experience we should support these modalities and produce similar forces on a user’s hands. Current virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) systems can render realistic 3D objects visually, but most lack the ability to provide an environmental feedback and realistic haptic experiences.
