Redirected walking allows users to walk through large-scale immersive virtual environments (IVEs) while physically remaining in a reasonably small workspace by intentionally injecting scene motion into the IVE. In a constant stimuli experiment with a twoalternative-forced-choice task we have quantified how much humans can unknowingly be redirected on virtual paths which are different from the paths they actually walk. 18 subjects have been tested in four different experiments: (E1a) discrimination between virtual and physical rotation, (E1b) discrimination between two successive rotations, (E2) discrimination between virtual and physical translation, and discrimination of walking direction (E3a) without and (E3b) with start-up. In experiment E1a subjects performed rotations to which different gains have been applied, and then had to choose whether or not the visually perceived rotation was greater than the physical rotation. In experiment E1b subjects discriminated between two successive rotations where different gains have been applied to the physical rotation. In experiment E2 subjects chose if they thought that the physical walk was longer than the visually perceived scaled travel distance. In experiment E3a subjects walked a straight path in the IVE which was physically bent to the left or to the right, and they estimate the direction of the curvature. In experiment E3a the gain was applied immediately, whereas the gain was applied after a start-up of two meters in experiment E3b. Our results show that users can be turned physically about 68% more or 10% less than the perceived virtual rotation, distances can be up-or down-scaled by 22%, and users can be redirected on an circular arc with a radius greater than 24 meters while they believe they are walking straight.

We present a framework for rapid reconstruction of building models from very large, high-detail digital surface models (DSM) of urban areas. Our method is based on a geometric mesh simplification approach augmented with shape constraints (Wahl et al., 2008). This approach allows to abstract the full-featured DSM in such a way that important structural elements are maintained irrespective of the approximation accuracy. In this paper we present two major extensions. Firstly, we deal with situations, where the original approach may generate artefacts due to incomplete or inconsistent structural information, mainly caused by vegetation close to the facades. We present refined topological constraints, which handle these problems and a filtering which neglects structural information that contradicts the mesh topology. Secondly, we extend the computational framework to be fully out-of-core capable and present a way to parallelize computations on multiple cores. We demonstrate the efficiency of our method by showing results for downtown Berlin a dataset containing more than 1 billion height samples processed in less than 30 hours.

Several user and task modeling approaches evolved during the past years and were applied to certain problem areas showing different strengths and weaknesses. A qualitative comparison of these approaches and techniques is difficult since the application and experimentation environments vary. On the other hand, the integration of approved user modeling techniques with different application environments is usually difficult if not impossible. We propose a framework that, in a first step, allows the direct comparison of results of different user and task modeling approaches in graphical user interfaces. The objective is the development of appropriate adaptive help systems for new and existing applications. The system is therefore designed as a client-server architecture to support multi-user operation. The implementation can be easily adapted to different application systems. Applications can be upgraded in a well-defined way, and with a minimal amount of effort by using the approach and tools presented in this paper. A prototype-implementation is presented consisting of an interaction protocoling and managing kernel, a user evaluating module and a corresponding adaptive help system applied to sample medical and CAD experimentation environments.
