The goal of Distributed Immersive Performance (DIP) is to allow musicians to collaborate synchronously over distance. Remote collaboration over the Internet poses many challenges such as delayed auditory and visual feedback to the musicians and a reduced sense of presence of the other musicians. We are systematically studying the effects of performing under remote conditions so as to guide the ...

conclusions full echocardiographic examination of the right ventricle, including rvot is essential for the diagnosis of this disease. surgical correction appears to be a successful strategy for management of this rare condition in adults. case presentation we report a 40-year-old man who was referred to cardiology clinic for work-up of dyspnea and a heart murmur found on his physical examinatio...

Thermographic monitoring systems are achieving satisfactory results in identifying points with anomalous temperature, preventing faults to occur. In the development of a methodology for automatic analysis thermal images, an automated system data acquisition and transmission is necessary. This article aims compare different ways acquire images from camera FLIR® A700: Atlas SDK, web interface Res...

Axion electrodynamics governs electromagnetic properties of Weyl metals. Although transmission and reflection measurements light have been proposed to confirm the axion electrodynamics, there are still lack theoretical proposals for macroscopic nonlocal transport phenomena in In this paper, we present time reversal symmetry-broken (TRSB) Solving numerically, show that such arise from negative l...

This article explores the possibility of using dynamic Educational Virtual Environments (EVEs) for helping students with limited background in physics and mathematics to deeply understand Quantum Mechanics principles and create the correct mental images of atomic models. Taking under consideration the results of our pilot study we have created “The Quantum Atom”, an educational environment with...

To develop advanced multi-modal displays, it is important that various sensory information is presented with proper amount. Previous studies have pointed out that vibration information enhances participants’ immersive experience from virtual display. Therefore, vibration information should be considered when people develop advanced multimedia systems. We have focused on the effect of full-body ...

Serious games are generally designed with two goals in mind: promoting learning and creating compelling and engaging experiences (sometimes termed a sense of presence). Presence itself is believed to promote learning, but serious games often attempt to further increase pedagogical value. One way to do so is to use an intelligent tutoring system (ITS) to provide feedback during gameplay. Some re...

In this paper, we have investigated the concept of "Cultural Robotics" with regard to the evolution of social into cultural robots in the 21st Century. By defining the concept of culture, the potential development of a culture between humans and robots is explored. Based on the cultural values of the robotics developers, and the learning ability of current robots, cultural attributes in this re...

vAcademia is a 3D virtual world designed for collaborative learning. It enables a new approach to educational activities in virtual worlds, which is based on a new vision of content and learning process. The most distinct feature of vAcademia is 3D recording which allows capturing everything in a given virtual world location in dynamics. The resultant recordings can be not only watched later, b...

In this paper, we present a system that combines Augmented Reality and autostereoscopic visualization. We also report a study for comparing different aspects using an autostereoscopic display and a common display, in which 44 children aged from 8 to 10 years old have participated. From our study, statistically significant differences were found between both displays for the depth perception and...
