A Mobile and Fog-based Computing Method to Execute Smart Device Applications in a Secure Environment
With the rapid growth of smart device and Internet of things applications, the volume of communication and data in networks have increased. Due to the network lag and massive demands, centralized and traditional cloud computing architecture are not accountable to the high users' demands and not proper for execution of delay-sensitive and real time applications. To resolve these challenges, we p...
متن کاملUser-Centered Design and Evaluation of a Real-Time Battlefield Visualization Virtual Environment
The ever-increasing power of computers and hardware rendering systems has, to date, concentrated on creating visually rich and perceptually realistic virtual environment (VE) applications. Comparatively very little effort is expended on the user interaction components of VEs. As a result, VE user interfaces are often poorly designed and are rarely evaluated with users. Although usability engine...
متن کاملExploring Multimodal 3D Interfaces
The Virtual Reality Lab at the Naval Research Laboratory has created a real-time, situational awareness virtual environment for battlefield visualization, termed the Dragon System [1]. The system is implemented on a workbench [2] and a CAVE-like immersive room [3]. It utilizes a virtual laser pointer metaphor for navigating and interacting with the terrain and objects; we implemented this metap...
متن کاملInteractions in a Human-Scale Immersive Environment: the CRAIVE- Lab
We describe interfaces and visualizations in the CRAIVE (Collaborative Research Augmented Immersive Virtual Environment) Lab, an interactive human scale immersive environment at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. We describe the physical infrastructure and software architecture of the CRAIVE-Lab, and present two immersive scenarios within it. The first is “person following”, which allows a perso...
متن کاملCommand Forces: An Extension of DIS Virtual Simulation
Command Forces (CFOR) is a concept that incorporates explicit modeling of battlefield command and control (C2) in virtual simulation. CFOR extends the Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) architecture by adding a new class of DIS entities (command entities) and explicit representation of the information exchanged among these entities (Command and Control Simulation Interface Language). Comm...
