Calibration requirements of an automotive HUD interface using a virtual reality environment: methodology and implementation (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Charissis, V., Naef, M., & Patera, M. (2007, January). Calibration requirements of an automotive HUD interface using a virtual reality environment: methodology and implementation. Presented at GVE '07: IASTED International Conference on Graphics and Visualization in Engineering, Clearwater, Florida

This paper presents the methodology of a system which utilises a virtual reality (VR) environment to establish the calibration requirements for a prototype automotive fullwindscreen Head-Up Display (HUD) interface. An easy and fast calibration of the... Read More about Calibration requirements of an automotive HUD interface using a virtual reality environment: methodology and implementation.

Symbolic vs alphanumeric representations in human machine interface design (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Charissis, V., & Patera, M. (2007, June). Symbolic vs alphanumeric representations in human machine interface design. Presented at 9th World Congress of the IASS/AIS, Helsinki

This paper presents a study towards articulating what it is considered to be a simple, prompt and efficient interface for a novel automotive Head-Up Display system. In particular, the proposed interface aims to improve the driver's spatial awareness... Read More about Symbolic vs alphanumeric representations in human machine interface design.

Human machine interface for prototype head up display (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Charissis, V., Papanastasiou, S., & Patera, M. (2007, December). Human machine interface for prototype head up display. Presented at Transport Science and Technology Congress (TRANSTEC), Prague

Head Up Displays (HUDs) have recently enjoyed substantial research attention due to their wide scope of application and promise of real time information superimposed in the external scene environment. To this end we developed a prototype HUD interfac... Read More about Human machine interface for prototype head up display.

Surgical education: Applied virtual anatomy: Can Virtual Reality Augment Postgraduate Anatomy Teaching? (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ward, B. M., Charissis, V., Rowley, D., Anderson, P., & Young, I. (2007, November). Surgical education: Applied virtual anatomy: Can Virtual Reality Augment Postgraduate Anatomy Teaching?. Presented at British Association of Day Surgery Conference

This paper presents an inquiry into Virtual Reality (VR) training environments and their application in early postgraduate anatomy teaching. There is great interest in the use of VR applications, but there has been little practical application in the...

Evaluation of prototype automotive head-up display interface: testing driver's focusing ability through a VR simulation (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Charissis, V., & Naef, M. (2007, June). Evaluation of prototype automotive head-up display interface: testing driver's focusing ability through a VR simulation. Presented at 2007 IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium, Istanbul, Turkey

Contemporary automotive, navigation and infotainment requirements have evolved the traditional dashboard into a complex device that can often distract the driver. Head-Up Displays (HUDs) have recently attracted the attention in the field of automotiv...

The effect of the RTS/CTS Handshake on TCP (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Papanastasiou, S., Ould-Khaoua, M., & Charissis, V. (2007, May). The effect of the RTS/CTS Handshake on TCP. Presented at 21st International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications Workshops (AINAW'07), Niagara Falls, ON, Canada

Previous research enquiries into TCP performance in MANETs have largely assumed that the 802.11 RTS/CTS mechanism remains in full effect throughout the connection time. In this work we evaluate the effects on TCP goodput of utilising other modes of o... Read More about The effect of the RTS/CTS Handshake on TCP.

Prototype system for virtual reality simulation and training: initial implementation for large printing units (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
