Vision and reality.

Active Vision and Virtual Reality

The experienced quality of virtual reality is currently limited by available computational resources, and will be for some time to come. It is essential that these limited resources not be wasted on the acquisition and processing of data that do not contribute significantly to the final percept. Efficient construction of the intermediate views that are the basis of some forms of virtual reality...

A vision becoming reality.

Non-animal science in toxicology and health research has been progressing for decades, but only now is it being seen widely as advanced science. The emergence of novel human biology-based tools and models, combined with legislative and regulatory change, a 21st century concept for toxicology, continuing failures in the drug pipeline, and systematic critiques of animal models, have created a piv...

The Virtual Reality Revolution: The Vision and the Reality

Bax’s Augmented Reality Vision System

BARViS, Bax’s Augmented Reality Vision System, is an augmented reality system utilizing image-based object recognition via support vector machines in a decision graph style classification system. The system implements a simple general architecture for augmented reality. A remote database stores only the support vectors for each object reducing the amount of data needed to be stored and transfer...
