The first is the use of an onto...

متن کاملVirtual Machines for Virtual Worlds
Multi User Virtual Worlds provide a simulated immersive 3D environment that is similar to the real world. Popular examples include Second Life and OpenSim. The multi-user nature of these simulations means that there are significant computational demands on the processes that render the different avatar-centric views of the world for each participant, which change with every movement or interact...

In this context it can be observed that, on the one hand, scientific Psychoacoustics is overestimated regarding it's application potency and, thus, contributions are expected from it which it cannot render. On the other hand, Psychoacoustics is also underestimated in that it is considered to be primarily “sub...
