Augmented Reality (AR) shows great promises for its usage as a tool for simulation and verification of design proposal of new technological systems. Main advantage of augmented reality application usage is possibility of creation and simulation of new technological unit before its realization. This may contribute to increasing of safety and ergonomics and decreasing of economical aspects of new...

Real-time crowdsourced maps such as Waze provide timely updates on traffic, congestion, accidents and points of interest. In this paper, we demonstrate how lack of strong location authentication allows creation of software-based Sybil devices that expose crowdsourced map systems to a variety of security and privacy attacks. Our experiments show that a single Sybil device with limited resources ...

Objective There is a growing interest in the customers’ innovation in the realm of tourism studies. In the new global business ecosystem where individuals, organizations, governments and economy work together as an integrated network, we need a new innovation model. The model should be set at a level in which internal, external, cooperative and co-creative ideas can converge to create organiza...

This paper deals with two aspects of virtual world creation – consistency of data and isolation of independent concepts. These concepts include among others 3D graphics rendering, physical simulation, audio processing, or user interaction. Current systems for virtual world creation focus more on concrete concepts and less on their independence thus limiting extensibility. They usually define st...

The authors acknowledge that knowledge creation is a collaborative process by nature and attempt to leverage current IS methods and technology to recreate the classical salons that yielded philosophical discourse. Research has demonstrated physical proximity as a key indicator of both the undertaking and successful completion of research, yet this physical proximity has not shown analogous carr...

Benefits of Industry 4.0 are often enabled by combining and connecting several different technologies. In this study, we explore industry within manufacturing design, where a combined tool is being developed, termed collaboration table (co-table). The Co-table combines digital twin technology virtual simulation with physical, tangible user-interface for easier testing pre-designed layouts befor...

The aim of the paper is to discuss the rising potential of social software to increase the knowledge management capabilities of virtual product development teams. It presents six fundamental transitions, elaborated from the empirical findings, which justify the rise of a more bottom-up, social creation and sharing of engineering knowledge in the virtual organization. The study suggests that tra...
