Mejoras en la Generación de Claves Gravito-inerciales en Simuladores de Vehículos no Aéreos
El objetivo fundamental de la realidad virtual (RV) es proporcionar al usuario una sensación completa de pertenencia a un entorno virtual alternativo. Para ello, cualquier aplicación de RV debe estimular, del modo más eficaz posible, todas (o el mayor número de) las claves sensoriales que hacen posible que el usuario sienta como cierta esa pertenencia al mundo virtual alternativo. Aunque existen muchas claves sensoriales y la aportación concreta de cada una de ellas a la percepción global de inmersión y presencia virtual es todavía parcialmente desconocida, la mayoría de aplicaciones de RV suelen centrarse en las claves visuales y sonoras, olvidando, hasta cierto punto, el resto. Las razone…
Virtual Prototyping of a Domestic Mobile Robot for Design and Navigation Optimisation
This paper describes the application developed as part of the"PROSIGRAT" research project carried out by IKERLAN and Valencia University"s ARTEC group dealing with the use of Real Time simulation for services and products evaluation. The application consists of the development of a Real Time graphic simulation of a domestic mobile robot moving in a virtual environment and guided by a real physical navigation and control system, based on the HIL methodology concept. This is a clear example in which the Real Time simulation of a mechatronic system interacting with the environment leads to a reduction in the time-to-market of a new product that has been well tested and operates in a safe, reli…
Addressing the Occlusion Problem in Augmented Reality Environments with Phantom Hollow Objects
Occlusion handling is essential to provide a seamless integration of virtual and real objects in AR applications. Different approaches have been presented with a variety of technologies, environment conditions and methods. Among these methods, 3D model-based occlusion approaches have been extensively used. However, these solutions could be too time-consuming in certain situations, since they must render all the occlusion objects even though they are invisible. For this reason, we propose an inverse 3D model-based solution for handling occlusions, designed for those AR applications in which virtual objects are placed inside a real object with holes or windows. With this restriction, the occl…
Including gender perspective in a Computer Engineering Degree
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development defines the need to guarantee an inclusive and equitable quality education for all people. This means that education systems should introduce the gender debate in different areas of education, from teacher training to the definition of subject knowledge, with the purpose of changing traditional roles and gender stereotypes. Incorporating the gender perspective in teaching involves reflecting on the different elements that make up the teaching-learning process from the point of view of the sex and gender variables. But, in addition, it means understanding in what context that teaching is taught and what competences must be offered to students. This…
MIME: A mixed-space collaborative system with three immersion levels and multiple users
Shared spaces for remote collaboration are nowadays possible by considering a variety of users, devices, immersion systems, interaction capabilities, navigation paradigms, etc. There is a substantial amount of research done in this line, proposing different solutions. However, still a more general solution that considers the heterogeneity of the involved actors/items is lacking. In this paper, we present MIME, a mixed-space tri-collaborative system. Differently from other mixed-space systems, MIME considers three different types of users (in different locations) according to the level of immersion in the system, who can interact simultaneously – what we call a tri-collaboration. For the thr…
