Virtual Reality, Interaktion und stereoskopische Projektion sind die Bereiche des VRLab der Hochschule Reutlingen. Diese werden in mehreren Teilprojekten bearbeitet, von denen hier die „Remote Control“, das „Low-cost Tracking System“ und das „3D-Modellhandbuch“ vorgestellt werden.

This paper describes an extension to the RAP system task-net semantics and representation language to enable the effective control of continuous processes. The representation addresses the problems of synchronizing plan expansion with events in the world, coping with multiple, non-deterministic task outcomes, and the description of a simple form of clean-up task. It is also pointed out that suc...

The Virtual Telescopes in Education (VTIE) project, is providing tools for teaching astronomy in K-12 classrooms using remotely controlled telescopes. VTIE's main goal to promote scientific literacy, including a conceptual understanding of the physical world and the scientific process itself. This paper describes an essential component of VTIE: the Scientific Investigation System for Telescopes...

In this paper we present an intrinsically passive telemanipulation scheme over a digital transmission line Internet-like. We present an analysis of the energetic behavior of the communication line both in case of loss of packages and in case of variable delay. The sample data nature of the passive controller is explicitly taken into account following the approach outlined in [9] and [10].

What can be done to promote student–instructor interaction in a large lecture class? One approach is to use a personal response system (or ‘‘clickers”) in which students press a button on a hand-held remote control device corresponding to their answer to a multiple choice question projected on a screen, then see the class distribution of answers on a screen, and discuss the thinking that leads ...

Voting in national elections from the comfort of one’s home computer may never be practical or secure, but we argue that remote network voting can be both practical and secure. Provisional and postal absentee ballots, which trade some amount of anonymity for the ability to determine the eligibility of a distant voter, serve as a template for how electronic remote voting might proceed. We propos...

Due to the ongoing remote control in signalling technology train observation by employees is reduced at traditional locations e.g. place of a station manager. The Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) Infrastructure Operation Company has recognised this trend very early. Several years ago, they started the construction of a wayside detection system to control the temperature of passing trains because...

The VCR Plus+ is a remote control for programming video cassette recorders. It uses an encrypted 1 to 8 digit number that encodes the channel, start time, length, and day of the month of the television show to be recorded. This paper describes a procedure for decoding the 1 to 6 digit codes.

In the last years, the Authors have proposed the use of the Random-Fuzzy Variables (RFVs) to represent measurements results. An RFV is an extension of a fuzzy variable, which is the natural variable in the mathematical possibility theory (in the same way the random variable is the natural variable in the probability theory). The aim of this presentation is to show, through a remotely controlled...
