Mixed reality for cross-cultural integration: using positive technology to share experiences and promote communication
2018
Palermo collaborativa
2021
La città di Palermo ha una vocazione multiculturale ed è luogo dell’integrazione e dell’accoglienza. Questa sua caratteristica è confermata dalla partecipazione attiva e propositiva alla redazione della “Carta di Palermo” del 2015 sui temi della mobilità umana internazionale da parte di numerose organizzazioni non governative e realtà associative, accanto alle istituzioni pubbliche. Palermo, come modello positivo di contaminazione culturale e di città collaborativa, lancia la proposta di andare oltre il permesso di soggiorno per approdare al concetto di “cittadinanza di residenza”, riconoscendo il diritto alla mobilità come diritto della persona umana. La migrazione non deve essere consider…
Apport des réalités virtuelles et augmentées dans la planification et le suivi in situ de travaux de rénovation.
2013
This dissertation presents the evaluation of an onsite augmented reality tool and its relevance for helping construction agents to prepare and monitor the progress of a building's construction or renovation through a mobile device. The case study focuses on virtual renovation works regarding an ancient window –dated eighteenth century- in a room of the Cluny (Saone et Loire, France) abbey buildings. The study aims at comparing the efficiency and the precision of users' behavior in four situations while performing identical sets of tasks. Three methods related to the ICT uses of onsite AEC (Architecture, Engineering and Construction) guided the experiment: the first method focuses on paper-b…
Lattice dynamics of CuAlO2 under high pressure fromab initio calculations
2007
The density functional perturbation theory is employed to study the vibrational properties of CuAlO 2 under pressure. The calculations are preformed using the pseudopotential wave method and the local density approximation for the exchange-correlation (XC) potential. The d electrons of Cu are treated as valence states. We present the phonon dispersion curves. Our results are in good agreement with the available experimental Raman scattering experiments. Ab initio calculations show the presence of a dynamical instability, possibly related with the experimentally observed phase transition.
Virtual and Augmented Reality Applied to the Perception of the Sound and Visual Garden
2022
The COVID-19 situation has encouraged the creation of ICT-based learning environments. Difficulties in performing activities in a garden setting can be overcome by using Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR). The aim of this research is to evaluate the usefulness of VR and AR as an educational resource through contextualised sensory experiences in the garden. Eighty-seven trainee teachers took part, and a mixed methodology was used, for the analysis of the sound and visual elements of the garden and for reflection on the usefulness of VR and AR. An interpretive and inferential analysis of the AR-based compositions was carried out and of the drawings of the garden created by the pa…
Reverse Engineering, Rapid prototyping and augmented Reality: integrated techniques for new models of fruition of archeological heritage
2013
Reverse engineering (RE) and Rapid Prototyping (RP) have long been used for the representation, interpretation and communication of artistic and archaeological heritage, as well as their museum fruition. An application is given by the construction of models for tactile perception for blind-users: it has been developed a model, in real scale, of a kantharos of the sixth century BC modeled with mixed techniques of rapid prototyping CNC with polymeric resin. Another possible application is the integration of RE and RP techniques with Augmented Reality (AR). It has been made an experiment on the model of the Temple of Castor and Pollux in Agrigento. The physical model, made with additive proces…
Aumentare Palermo. Manifesta 12 studios: scenari, progetti e visioni
2018
From june 16th to November 4th , 2018, Manifesta, the european nomadic art Biennial, held Palermo as host city of its 12th edition. Whithin this larger main framework, over the course of two semesters, four international studios from four celebrated schools of architecture have investigated, reflected and proposed future scenarios for the city of Palermo . The works have been displayed in a collective exhibition at the former mill of the Convent of San Antonino – one of UNIPA’s main locations. The University of Palermo has contributed with the project conceived by PalermoLab, a groupment of six design studios (Proff. M. Carta, A. Badami, R. Lecardane, M. Picone, Z. Tesoriere, F. Schilleci) …
An Agent-based Service Network for Personal Mobile Devices
2006
We propose the Agent Network for Bluetooth Devices, a system that uses personal mobile devices as adaptive human-environment interfaces to supply people with ad hoc information and high-level services. The ANBD system operates with a hierarchical framework of service-providing nodes, dynamically composed and managed by mobile agents.
