Geographic environment is a combination of natural and cultural environments under which humans survive. Virtual Geographic Environment (VGE) is a new multi-disciplinary initiative that links geosciences, geographic information sciences and information technologies. A VGE is a virtual representation of the natural world that enables a person to explore and interact with vast amounts of natural ...

Cultural Heritage encompasses a set of traditions and commodities inherited from our ancestors, and it is vital to convey and preserve them for the next generation. Cultural Multimedia applications and Serious Games form an important pedagogical and didactic medium, mainly for a young demography, which can learn while playing.

In this essay, we describe a system and tools that we are creating and that allows us to produce similarity (SC) cluster representations of the contents of our Culture Heritage (CH) Forum. The motivation for introducing these types of technologies in the context of cultural heritage materials is to allow the use of spatial vector-based computational techniques that result in similarity mapping....

Objective: The standardized data may easily move within a network and connect to other systems without any time or geographical limitations. This concept is fundamental to the idea of the ubiquitous robot. Method: This paper discusses those definitions briefly including the approach of Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd (SEC). Here we present a ubiquitous robot S/W platform, AnyRobot Studio which cov...
