Simulating and Evaluating Public Situated Displays in Virtual Environment Models

چکیده
In this position paper, we address the problems that arise during the design phase of intelligent environments that make use of public situated displays for user assistance. We propose a new design process, which is based on an architectural model of the environment. It employs a toolkit that allows the designer of an intelligent environment to verify the visibility of displays from various virtual viewpoints before they are actually acquired and deployed. Our approach furthermore allows the early evaluation of application prototypes. We mirror the screens of real machines to the virtual displays and use an avatar as a positioning loopback device in order to test the behavior of context-aware presentations.

Investigating the Role of Situated Public Displays and Hyperlocal Content on Place-Making
Our urban environments are increasingly being outfitted with various forms of digital media, such as electronic billboards, public displays and interactive lighting. While their deployment is commonly motivated by commercial and functional objectives, the impact on the urban fabric is often neglected. However, as public displays become situated in their environment and content becomes hyperloca...
متن کاملEvaluating the performance of Atmosphere-Ocean Global Circulation Models (AOGCM) in simulating temperature variable in Ahwaz and Abadan stations
Climate changes caused by global warming has presented challenges to human society. Studying the Changes of climate variables in the future decades by using output data’s of Atmosphere-Ocean Global Circulation Models (AOGCM) is a way of perusing climate fluctuation in a region. In this study, the focus is on the AOGCM proceeds in simulating of variable temperature in Ahwaz and Abadan stations. ...
متن کاملSupporting content scheduling on situated public displays
There is increasing interest in creating networks of situated public displays that offer novel forms of interaction and rich media content – often as work towards a vision of ubiquitous computing or ambient multimedia. In this paper we present an infrastructure developed as part of the e-Campus project that is designed to support the coordinated scheduling of rich media content on networks of s...
متن کاملSituated Displays vs. Municipal WiFi: Comparing the Interactivity of Two Public Infrastructures
We compare the interactive experiences of two public infrastructures — situated displays and a municipal wireless network — using a conceptual framework of place, experience and embodiment. Using the framework as a point of reference, we can begin to address some inherent design issues in these technologies. Consequently, we argue that urban technologies which take into account their environmen...
متن کاملMoment Machine: Opportunities and Challenges of Posting Situated Snapshots onto Networked Public Displays
Large public displays are becoming a ubiquitous resource in the urban environment. Interconnected over the Internet these hitherto isolated “ad displays” could become a novel and powerful communication medium – networked public displays. One example for such a novel type of communication is their use as community tools. Scattered across the urban landscape and equipped with additional sensors, ...
