A Virtual World for Collaboration: The AETZone
Participation in learning communities, and the construction of knowledge in communities of practice, are important considerations in the use of 3D immersive worlds. This article describes the creation of this type of learning environment in AETZone, an immersive virtual environment in use within graduate programs at Appalachian State University since 2000. Both student and faculty perceptions o...
متن کاملVirtual Objects Real World
Computing at the intersection of two realms. T HE TERM VIRTUAL REALITY USUALLY REFERS TO SYSTEMS THAT generate a totally synthetic environment, in which the end user is able to specify all the characteristics of the new environment. A head-mounted display and an orientation and position tracker enable the user to roam around the new virtual world, look up and down, and walk into rooms that don'...
متن کاملVirtual Cities for Real-World Crisis Management
In this paper, we present the evacuation simulation system that is the combination of a virtual city and a crisis management simulation. The system allows users to become virtual evacuees in an evacuation simulation to learn about crowd behavior. In the experimental use of the system, we found that the synergic effects between a bird’s-eye and a first-person views in learning emergency escaping...
متن کاملVirtual actors living in a real world
This paper presents techniques and tools for creating and animating virtual actors in real scenes. Several problems are explained: real objects hidden by virtual actors and virtual actors hidden by real objects, collision detection between the virtual actor and the real environment, correspondence between the real and the virtual cameras, casting shadows of the virtual actors on the real world....
متن کاملReal Face Communication in a Virtual World
This paper describes an efficient method to make an individual face for animation from several possible inputs and how to use this result for a realistic talking head communication in a virtual world. We present a method to reconstruct 3D facial model from two orthogonal pictures taken from front and side views. The method is based on extracting features from a face in a semiautomatic way and d...
