The POX: Save the People game was developed to address some of the core concepts included in curricular frameworks for Science Literacy in the USA. This paper documents our design research, design approach, and prototyping process.

abstract introduction texture of the old city, one of the most valuable and most precious cultural relics are evidence of a civilization that is magnificent and proud birth certificate is real and cities. despite all the glory of his exemplary, due to the lack of accurate and appropriate, some have been on the verge of exhaustion and weakness of the various threats to their lives have been affe...

A brief history of the introduction of Shape's fibroma virus into the Australian rabbit scene, outlining some of the emotions generated and some of their causes is given. Immunisation of rabbits against myxomatosis using Shape's fibroma is still banned in Australia except in approved scientific'institutions. The arguments leading to this ban are examined and rejected. Options for future protect...

A new generative multispectral texture model based on discrete distribution mixtures is introduced. Statistical texture properties are represented by a discrete distribution mixture of product components. A natural colour or multispectral texture is spectrally factorized and discrete mixtures models are learned and used to synthesize single orthogonal monospectral components. Texture synthesis ...

Projective texture-mapping is a powerful tool for image-based rendering. However, visibility information must be obtained in order to project correct textures onto the geometric sturcture. This paper presents a novel visibility algorithm for determining which polygons are visible from each camera position. It has object-space precision, but operates in both image-space and object-space to get b...

The Black Stone is composed of several dark‐coloured gravels (9.7‐27 mm) held together by a silver frame in the eastern wall Kaaba (Makkah). It contains long prismatic white crystal (0.64‐1.11 and short black (0.33‐0.85 mm length) an equigranular texture. Six one additional pieces are claimed to be Istanbul Edirne, Turkey. stone Edirne quartz (0.45‐6.57 mm, 47.02 %), plagioclase (0.81‐2.97 38.4...

Realistic rendering of computer modeled three dimensional surfaces typically involves estimation of the reflectance properties of the material to be used for rendering the surface, or use of photographs of the material for texturing instead. Bidirectional texture functions (BTFs) can be used for this purpose, however, full coverage of all viewing and lighting directions desired must be acquired...

This paper presents a new algorithm for synthesising image texture. Texture synthesis is an important process in image post-production. The best previous approaches have used non-parametric methods for synthesising texture. Unfortunately, these methods generally suffer from high computational cost and difficulty in handling scale in the synthesis process. This paper introduces a new idea of usi...

Primary components in the colour reproduction of textured materials are firstly, the accurate rendering of the appearance of texture, and secondly the ability to print a surface topology that moves towards 2.5D printing. However, in order to render surfaces that contain no discernable pattern structure, unlimited variations in pattern can result in enormous file sizes. The paper explores how pa...
