Space-Time Cube and Mixed Reality – New Approaches to Support Understanding Historical Landscape Changes

Models for reality: new approaches to the understanding

Much of the dissatisfaction with existing quantitative explanations in education and the social sciences, arises from an over-simplification of real life. This talk will argue that in recent years new quantitative methodologies have been developed that provide powerful tools for studying social structures and processes. These ’multilevel’ models, which attempt to describe the complexity of the ...

Analysing space-time behaviour: new approaches to old problems

Time geography had led geographers to analyse and model activity-travel patterns since the 1970s. The notion that activity-travel patterns are highly constrained has been frequently used in analytical studies and models of space-time behaviour. The popularity of this field of research lost most of its momentum in geography in the 1990s, but is now the dominant approach among civil engineers in ...

Designing Interaction Space for Mixed Reality Systems

Mixed-Reality Prototypes to Support Early Creative Design

The domain we address is creative design, mainly architecture. Rooted in a multidisciplinary approach as well as a deep understanding of architecture and design, our method aims at proposing adapted mixed reality solutions to support two crucial activities : sketch-based preliminary design and distant synchronous collaboration in design. This chapter provides a summary of our work on a mixed-re...

Pattern mining analysis of pulmonary TB cases in Hamadan province: Using space-time cube

Background and aims: One of the most common approach to understanding spatial and temporal trends of event data is to break it up into a series of time snapshots. Therefore space-time cube method applied in order to portray the likely trend in occurrence of the pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) cases. Methods: In this study, information of all patients with pul...
