Capturing cognitive load management during authentic virtual reality flight training with behavioural and physiological indicators
2023
Background Cognitive load (CL) management is essential in safety-critical fields so that professionals can monitor and control their cognitive resources efficiently to perform and solve scenarios in a timely and safe manner, even in complex and unexpected circumstances. Thus, cognitive load theory (CLT) can be used to design virtual reality (VR) training programmes for professional learning in these fields. Objectives We studied CL management performance through behavioural indicators in authentic VR flight training and explored if and to what extent physiological data was associated with CL management performance. Methods The expert (n = 8) and novice pilots (n = 6) performed three approac…
Korkean käytettävyyden tekniikoiden hyödyntäminen tehohoidon ja anestesiologian tietojärjestelmissä
2016
Kyselytutkimuksella selvitettiin sitä, onko korkean käytettävyyden teknologioista hyötyä teho- ja anestesiologian tietojärjestelmissä. Erityisesti tutkittiin sitä, vaarantuuko potilaiden turvallisuus tietojärjestelmien avainhenkilöiden mielestä käyttökatkossa, ja jos vaarantuu, niin miten ja millaisia vaaratilanteita syntyy. Lisäksi selvitettiin sitä, kokevatko pääkäyttäjät ja ylläpitäjät nykyiset varajärjestelyt käyttökatkojen osalta riittävinä. Tutkimus selvitti myös teknisiä vaihtoehtoja saatavuuden nostamiseksi ja arvioi niiden kustannuksia ja hyötyjä. Tutkimus osoitti, että vastaajat kokivat nykytilanteen tietojärjestelmän käyttökatkojen osalta tyypillisesti hyvänä. Oli kuitenkin tunni…
Virtualitāte un laiktēls: Žila Delēza kinoestētika
2015
Maģistra darbā tiek aplūkota Žila Delēza kinoestētika caur diviem savstarpēji saistītiem jēdzieniem - virtualitāti un laiktēlu, atklājot to struktūru un kontekstualizējot attiecībā pret kinoestētiku, tādējādi skaidrojot laika nozīmes pieagumu modernajā kino. Laicisko attiecību, laiciskuma problemātikas un laika tēmas risinājums Delēza kinoestētikā ilustrēts ar piemēriem no kinofilmām, reizē pievēršot uzmanību kino tehnisko aspektu ietekmei uz filozofisko atziņu formulēšanu. Šeit jāatzīmē montāžas, skaņas un kameras kustības ietekme uz laikapziņu un jo īpaši virtualitātes un laiktēla nojēgumu attīstību, un to kā tie tiek realizēti kino caur sapni, retrospekciju un iztēloto laiku. Darba noslē…
Will Second Life Help Me Survive in Italy?
2010
This paper aims at sharing the experience we had in the design and implementation of a short pilot course of Italian in Second Life® (SL). The paper will provide a description of the course mentioning preliminary findings, discussed in relation to the theories adopted by the two researchers. The paper is the result of the course, La Lingua in gioco: dire, fare e giocare in SL, that had a strong focus on the development of Intercultural Communicative Competence (ICC) and Oral Language Proficiency and was aimed at a group of third-level Irish students of Italian in the Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT), who will spend the third year of their degree in Italy (Erasmus programme). SL was used…
AUGMENTED REALITY FOR CULTURAL HERITAGE: THE REBIRTH OF A HISTORICAL SQUARE
2019
Abstract. The case study, faced in this paper, arises in the context of Interreg Italia-Malta European project named I-Access, dedicated to the improvement of accessibility to Cultural Heritage (CH). Accessibility considered not only as the demolition of physical architectural barriers, but also as the possibility of fruition of CH through technological tools that can increase its perception and knowledge. Last achievements in photogrammetry and terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) technology offered new methods of data acquisition in the field of CH, giving the possibility of monitoring and processing big data, in the form of point clouds. Ever in this field, reverse engineering techniques and …
3D VIRTUAL CH INTERACTIVE INFORMATION SYSTEMS FOR A SMART WEB BROWSING EXPERIENCE FOR DESKTOP PCS AND MOBILE DEVICES
2018
Abstract. Recently, the diffusion of knowledge on Cultural Heritage (CH) has become an element of primary importance for its valorization. At the same time, the diffusion of surveys based on UAV Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) technologies and new methods of photogrammetric reconstruction have opened new possibilities for 3D CH representation. Furthermore the recent development of faster and more stable internet connections leads people to increase the use of mobile devices. In the light of all this, the importance of the development of Virtual Reality (VR) environments applied to CH is strategic for the diffusion of knowledge in a smart solution. In particular, the present work shows how, s…
3D DIGITAL MODELS FOR A WIDESPREAD MUSEUM: THE RENON’S “BAUERNHÖFE”
2019
Abstract. The aim of the paper is to study the characteristics of different 3D digital models (point clouds, mesh, CSG, BIM) for the realization of a museum of historical buildings widespread in the territory of South Tyrol through the 3D modeling of several farmhouses between the towns of Collalbo, Longomoso and Siffiano, in the Renon area. Therefore, moving from a defined case study, the paper proposes a workflow for model choice, use, and sharing considering also users profile.The objective is to create a system that allows, the sharing, both on site and remotely, of farmhouses digital models, information, images and documents found during the research. The purpose is to enhance the terr…
THE VIRTUALIZATION OF CH FOR HISTORICAL RECONSTRUCTION: THE AR FRUITION OF THE FOUNTAIN OF ST. GEORGE SQUARE IN VALLETTA (MALTA)
2020
Abstract. Improving accessibility to Cultural Heritage (CH) is an increasingly urgent challenge today. It is not only a matter of physical inaccessibility but also temporal, considering that part of CH now lost. Fortunately, the most modern technological tools are helping to break down both space and time barriers. In facts, recent advances in representation, 3D modelling and survey methodologies opened new scenarios for valorization and conservation of CH. In particular, the improvement of quality in resolution and sensor sensitivity of cameras allowed to achieve the right level of 3D reconstruction through digital photogrammetry procedures. In the same field, terrestrial laser scanners (T…
VIRTUAL REALITY FOR HISTORICAL ARCHITECTURE
2019
Abstract. This article shows a first step in the development of an immersive virtual tour of the Cathedral of Palermo, entering the fields of Digital Cultural Heritage and Edutainment. Its purpose is to help people to gain knowledge about the site, highlighting the complex stratifications that have characterized its history.The development of the project has been possible thanks to different phases of work: surveys were initially carried out by laser scanning, then assembled and processed to obtain the 3D model of the current state; at the same time, the model of reconstruction was processed in several phases, based on historical, archival and iconographic sources; both models were, later, …
A GAMING APPROACH FOR CULTURAL HERITAGE KNOWLEDGE AND DISSEMINATION
2019
Abstract. In these last years, video games have become one of the most popular entertainment for children/teenagers/adults thanks to their appealing and seductive features and, in this context, the Serious Games (SG) have become an important research field. The most popular SGs in Cultural Heritage (CH) used the historical building like scenario where the game is playing. In this paper we show the procedure to achieve a CH video game where the Cultural Heritage is the main actor and not the scenario of the game. Furthermore, the game is not a SG but an Action-Adventure Game (AAG) or Survival Game (SuG), in a largest heading it can be classified as Entertainment Games (EGs). The novelty of t…
