Weightless Walls

چکیده
In this paper we describe how future office environments can benefit from the addition of weightless walls—virtual, sound blocking walls created using headsets. We particularly focus on exploring how different interaction techniques can be employed to efficiently create, erase, or edit the layouts of these walls, and envisioning how they could impact the overall office experience. Metaphorically, the end effect of integrating weightless walls into offices is that space will be treated in a way similar to how random access memory is treated in PCs; as a shared resource open to dynamic allocations, and whose usage is periodically optimized in real time according to the collective activities of the occupants. Furthermore, we view weightless walls as harbingers of the emergence of synthetic space—the eventual fusion of the architectural environment with the distinctive properties of digital bits.

Tridimensional Pattern Reconstruction by Using Weightless Artificial Neural Networks
1. ABSTRACT This paper describes the structure and behavior of a system, composed by a set of weightless artificial neural networks, which is capable of learning different images and then reconstructing an image according to the closest learned pattern. This paper presents a technique which considers Hamming distance for pattern learning and reconstruction, therefore it is posible to study the ...

The objective of this paper is to analyze the practical viability of the results theoretical concerning the relationship of a class of weightless neural networks, known as General Single-layer Sequential Weightless Neural Networks (GSSWNNs), and Probabilistic Automata (PA). This study was based on the theoretical model development by de Souto [1]. This model shows the computational equivalence ...
متن کاملClustering data streams with weightless neural networks
Producing good quality clustering of data streams in real time is a difficult problem, since it is necessary to perform the analysis of data points arriving in a continuous style, with the support of quite limited computational resources. The incremental and evolving nature of the resulting clustering structures must reflect the dynamics of the target data stream. The WiSARD weightless perceptr...
