Influence of interaction techniques o n VIMS in virtual environments : estimation and prediction
2014
Understanding oculo-vestibular dynamics during sensory rearrangement in the central nervous system plays an extremely important role in better understanding human perception, and improves the technology in many engineering fields. Besides, the sensory conflict that occurs between ocular, vestibular and proprioception during sensory rearrangement at certain occasions might adversely affect the user performance in a wide variety of domains including flight/car simulators, scale-one 3D systems, large-scale displays, serious games, and so on. Therefore, knowing the condition in which the sensory conflict happens has a great deal of importance. This study aims at understanding the nature of sens…
Theoretical Approaches to Crisis: An Introduction
2020
This chapter sums up the key arguments made in this section of the Handbook. The nine chapters discuss essential EU integration and International Relations approaches and how they study, understand, and explain crisis’ putative impact on the EU: Liberal Intergovernmentalism, Classical Realism, Neo-realism, Neofunctionalism, Institutionalism, Organizational Theory, Cleavage Theory, Social constructivism, and Deliberative Theory. For this purpose, each chapter sets out the theory’s basic assumptions before addressing the following questions: (1) How does each theoretical perspective expect crisis to influence EU institutions and policies? What are the causal mechanisms to account for continui…
Integrating xAPI in AR applications for Positive Behaviour Intervention and Support
2021
The spread of new technologies like Augmented Reality and recent technological developments, provide innovative techniques and tools that show increasing potential in education. In this paper we will showcase the work implemented within the Horizon 2020 European project ARETE (Augmented Reality Interactive Educational System). One of the pilots of this project aims to investigate for the first time the introduction of AR to support a behavioral lesson in schools where Positive Behaviour Intervention and Support (PBIS) methodology is adopted. In particular, we present the study conducted to track user interactions with augmented reality objects through the use of the Experience API standard.
The Reality and Unreality of Jerusalem
2012
Urban Planning emerged out to achieve welfare and progress of human being. Many theorists wrote about the utopian and the good city. Planners has been working hard to create suitable and workable cities. However, there are situations in which planning is used to strengthen a dominant group upon marginalized groups. Jerusalem is one of those cases in which planning is used as a control tool upon other groups. The occupation of Jerusalem from the Israeli side and the injustice in the city, has forced many theorists to think about the future of Jerusalem. Since the beginning of the struggle between Palestinians and Israelis more several solutions have been proposed for the context of Jerusalem…
Translating Sardinia into Chinese: How Indirect Translation Affected the Reception of Geographic and Culture-bounds Words in Deledda’s Short Fiction
2020
As in the case of many literary traditions originating from minor countries, in Late Imperial and Early Republican China several Italian literary works reached the Chinese readership through the mediation of foreign translations, mostly composed in English and French, as well as Japanese. Such languages, which Chinese literati and intellectuals had started to master, served as a catalyst and contributed to the diffusion of promising works which were starting to approach the international literary landscape, but were hardly able to reach China in their original form. In this context, also Grazia Deledda’s literary production has been introduced by the early 20th century Chinese translators t…
A VR/AR Environment for Multi-User Liver Anatomy Education
2021
We present a Virtual and Augmented Reality multi-user prototype of a learning environment for liver anatomy education. Our system supports various training scenarios ranging from small learning groups to classroom-size education, where students and teachers can participate in virtual reality, augmented reality, or via desktop PCs. In an iterative development process with surgeons and teachers, a virtual organ library was created. Nineteen liver data sets were used comprising 3D surface models, 2D image data, pathology information, diagnosis and treatment decisions. These data sets can interactively be sorted and investigated individually regarding their volumetric and meta information. The …
Sociability in Virtual Reality
2021
This study investigates sociability in the context of immersive Virtual Reality (VR). A Design Science Research process was applied, and three iterative development versions of a VR application were studied. Sociability around the technology was investigated with two theoretical perspectives: social presence and social interactions. The results of qualitative interviews and observations as well as a quantitative experiment are combined to make a proposal for four design principles enhancing the beneficial sociability of VR systems. These principles address the importance of ease-of-use and personalization in the activation of a customer, customer empowerment and emancipation through familia…
Virtual Vehicles Manager: a java virtual reality environment for distributed multi vehicles dynamics control and simulation
2007
This paper describes a lightweight, full portable software environment for development, simulation and control of vehicles. All the software is developed in Java so there are many advantages as portability, multithreading distribution etc. This environment simulates the vehicles integrating their non-linear differential equation systems. The equation systems can easily be modified changing that representation class so it is easy to manage different vehicles. The scenario is displayed as a 3D virtual reality environment in which all the objects are rendered using a combination of 3 d primitive. It is also possible the use of pre-built 3 d objects loaded from files in 3 ds format. The softwar…
A New Environment for Distributed Multiple Vehicles Dynamics Control and Simulation
2007
Although there are many simulation softwares, the 3D multi-vehicle field needs further study. This paper describes a lightweight, full portable software environment for development, simulation and control of vehicles. This environment simulates ground wheeled vehicles and their environment. Multi vehicle study can be done adding the vehicle mathematical model and the 3D graphical model. The scenario is displayed as a 3D virtual reality environment in which all the objects are rendered using a combination of 3D primitive and/or pre-built 3D objects loaded from file. Since the software is made up of a set of multi-treading object-oriented Java classes, there are many advantages as portability…
Irži Vajlʹ i ego hrabraâ borʹba za sohranenie hudožestvennoj pravdivosti i čelovečnosti na fone nacistskoj i stalinskoj diktatury
2018
The study deals with the personality and the work of Jiří Weil, the writer, whose Jewish roots and enthusiastic admiration for the Soviet Russia significantly marked his life before the war, the occupation in Protectorate, and also after the war. In the background of two criminal totalitarian regimes there are analysed inspirational streams and influences that shaped the creative groundswell of novels – Moscow – Border, Life with a Star and Mendelssohn is on the Roof. Among others wider attention is given to a brief description of the development of the Weil´s artistic methods and comparison of different points of view of the contemporary and present literary criticism on the listed works. …
