AUGMENTED REALITY. THE CASE OF SALINAS MUSEUM OF PALERMO
2011
Already used in very specific areas such as in military and medical or academic research, in 2009 thanks to improved technology, augmented reality is to reach wider audiences and as information campaigns, advertising-augmented published in newspapers or on the network, and through a growing number of applications for mobile phones, particularly iPhone. "The Augmented Reality on the desktop computer is based on the use of markers, or ARtags, and stylized drawings, which are shown to the webcam, are recognized by the PC, and which are overlaid in real-time multimedia content: video, audio , 3D objects, etc.. Normally, applications of augmented reality are based on Adobe Flash technology and t…
La realtà aumentata come strumento interattivo per la diffusione della conoscenza: l’isolato urbano FF1 nel Parco Archeologico di Selinunte
2018
Questo contributo presenta gli sviluppi di una ricerca fondata sulle recenti tecnologie per la realtà aumentata come strumento di ausilio alla visita di siti museali e archeologici. Il progetto di ricerca, iniziato nel 2016 con lo studio di una applicazione basata sulla tecnologia Google Tango dedicata al museo parigino della Cité de l’architecture et du patrimoine, è destinato alla creazione di strumenti per la visualizzazione in realtà aumentata della ricostruzione virtuale di due case dell’isolato urbano FF1 nel Parco Archeologico di Selinunte, sfruttando la più recente piattaforma di sviluppo Google ARCore. This paper presents the development of a research focusing the latest technologi…
Cluny: de la gestion de données à la réalité augmentée
2007
Cluny III was the greatest abbey of the Christendom until the construction of Saint-Peters of Roma in the 17th century. Unfortunately, the Order of Cluny was broke up with the French revolution, and the church became a stone pit carry. Until 2010, for the commemoration of the Cluny foundation, a great restoration yard has begun. It is composed of two parts: Hézelon which is the restoration and development program for the patrimony of Cluny; and Gunzo, which is a research assembly on new image technologies, for knowledge and valorisation of the site. To facilitate the comprehension of this patrimony, and to allow the public to access its past, augmented reality features had been developed.
Exploring Features of the Pervasive Game Pokémon GO That Enable Behavior Change: Qualitative Study
2020
BackgroundDigital gaming is one of the most popular forms of entertainment in the world. While prior literature concluded that digital games can enable changes in players’ behaviors, there is limited knowledge about different types of behavior changes and the game features driving them. Understanding behavior changes and the game features behind them is important because digital games can motivate players to change their behavior for the better (or worse). ObjectiveThis study investigates the types of behavior changes and their underlying game features within the context of the popular pervasive game Pokémon GO. MethodsWe collected data from 262 respondents with a critical incident techniqu…
Contributo per una visione contemporanea dell’azienda agricola: tra sostenibilità e sfide del mondo digitale
2023
Le sfide che l’umanità sta affrontando e da cui dipende la sopravvivenza del pianeta, il diffondersi nell’ambito dell’attività agricola di tecnologie digitali sempre più avanzate e la necessità di adottare un approccio sostenibile che preservi le risorse a tutela delle generazioni future hanno condotto l’azienda agricola a cambiare gradualmente volto. Questo libro mira a contribuire a un’aggiornata riflessione sul ruolo dell’imprenditore agricolo e dell’azienda da lui condotta, osservandone l’organizzazione e composizione alla luce delle regole che oggi la disciplinano e guardando alle innovazioni necessarie a garantire il raggiungimento dei pressanti obiettivi climatici e ambientali verso …
A Hybrid Virtual-Augmented Serious Game to Improve Driving Safety Awareness
2018
The use of 3D virtual content and Augmented Reality (AR) in certain applications allows designing tools and serious games that are more attractive to the potential users. Focusing on the area of learning and education, these technologies can be adapted to the requirements of the application that needs to be developed, to the available devices on which they are expected to run and also to the learning content. However, in most applications only a single interaction paradigm and a single visualization mode is used, restricting the potential benefits of the system. In this paper, we propose a software application designed to improve driving safety awareness and learning for both adults and chi…
Multi-Control Virtual Reality Driving Simulator
2019
Immersive technologies (virtual and augmented reality) started gaining a lot of ground over the past few years initially in the video game industry, followed by simulators and finally integrated into many other classic applications. This paper aims to analyze how users respond to using new controlling devices in a scene designed as a driving simulator (race car track). The landscape and the controls are specifically tailored for interactions within immersive environments. In order to understand the capabilities of the experimental application and evaluate the new controls, several tests were conducted. The results are presented from a user experience perspective, emphasizing qualities, side…
New metric products, movies, and 3D models from old stereopairs and their application to the in situ palaeontological site of Ambrona
2020
3D modelling tools from photographic pictures have experienced significant improvements in the last years. One of the most outstanding changes is the spread of the photogrammetric systems based on algorithms referred to as Structure from Motion (SfM) in contrast with the traditional stereoscopic pairs. Nevertheless, the availability of important collections of stereoscopic registers collected during past decades invites us to explore the possibilities for re-using these photographs in order to generate new multimedia products, especially due to the fact that many of the documented elements have been largely altered or even disappeared. This article analyses an example of application to the …
The Augmented Reality as an Instrument for the Representation/Visualization of Architecture
2019
This paper deals with issues related to the representation/visualization of architecture and its narration through the augmented reality tools. Specifically, the possible scenarios and the different strategies to address the problems related to the application of AR platforms in the field of cultural heritage are presented. Some case studies will be analyzed and the use of augmented reality applied to museums and archaeological sites including the Museum of the Cité de l'architecture et du patrimoine in Paris, the Regional Archaeological Museum A. Salinas in Palermo and the archaeological site of Selinunte. Thanks to these exemplary cases, the potential and critical aspects of the latest AR…
Panel Summary: Frontiers of Human-Machine Interaction
2001
The hot points presented to the panel were the following: What are the broader definitions of Human/Machine interaction? For example: non direct connection (using currently available computer GUI) first phase direct connection (linking sensors to the sensory system) second phase (direct connections into the Central Nervous System) What are the technologies that should be developed in order to enable each of the previous phases? What are the scientific research issues that are related to such phases? What are the possible implications of a direct human-computer link on the society? (compared to the Internet revolution?) There are several phases in Human-Machine interaction. The first, and mo…
