Ante oculos. Elementi di cultura visuale nell'eloquenza ciceroniana
2021
Within the vast area of research relating to visual strategies as a rhetorical means par excellence, the paper deals with Cicero’s way of using the term ante oculos and other related expressions in the orations. Due to the frequent and seemingly deliberate use of these expressive means, we can assume that there was a precise communication strategy aimed at exploiting the potential of rhetoric to connect, in an effective and productive way, image and speech, visual strategies and the evocative power of words.
Fusion of visual tools in virtual spaces
1996
Virtual space environment may be improved by combining it with graphical and visual tools. This paper analyses an integrated system able to merge fusion techniques, icons tools and a virtual space environment. A virtual space is characterised by a set of dynamic visual icons and by a heterogeneous virtual reality environment. Their integration is supported by virtual icon grammar (VIG) working on dynamic icons and virtual world. VIG allows to test the actions made by dynamic icons on the activated Virtual World metaphors at a time “t”, and a range of different transactions that place between user and VW(visual query, view and browse of under-world,...), moreover, user can define, modify and…
HIDRAdisk: validation of an innovative visual tool to assess the burden of hidradenitis suppurativa
2019
Background: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic, relapsing, inflammatory skin disease characterized by painful inflamed nodules, recurrent abscesses and fistulas located in apocrine gland–bearing body sites. The negative impact of HS on patient's quality of life (QoL) has been reported to be greater than other dermatologic conditions as psoriasis and atopic eczema, and its improvement is an important goal in disease management. Nowadays, there are no specific validated QoL instruments available for HS and generic dermatologic questionnaires are used. Objective: The objective of this study was to demonstrate the validity, reliability and responsiveness of HIDRAdisk, a new innovative t…
Visual Tools in Virtual Reality: Complex Environment
1994
In this paper, we analyse an integrated system able to merge graphical and vision technique in order to improve virtual space environment. Virtual space is characterized by Dynamic Visual Icons and Virtual Reality for arising a hererogeneous environment. Essentially, we propose a fusion technique between visual icon and virtual space, where their integration is supported by Visual lcon Grammar (VIG) working on Dynamic lcon and Visual World. VIG allows to test the actions of the Dynamic Icon on the active Visual Word metaphor at the lime "t", and the different rage of transactions between user and VW(visual query, view and brows of under-world,... ). Moreover, user can define, modify and rem…
