Infinite Infants is a three-year research project exploring the potential for sensory, networked and representational digital technologies in early years education. The research considers Mixed Reality (MR) as a potential agent in the context of collaborative and active learning spaces. This extended abstract presents the conceptual framework for research and design practice, formative developm...

In North-Indian-Music-System(NIMS),tablā is mostly used as percussive accompaniment for vocal-music in polyphonic-compositions. The human auditory system uses perceptual grouping of musical-elements and easily filters the tablā component, thereby decoding prominent rhythmic features like tāla, tempo from a polyphonic-composition. For Western music, lots of work have been reported for automated ...

We study a setting where a principal needs to motivate a team of agents whose combination of hidden efforts stochastically determines an outcome. In a companion paper [2] we devise and study a basic “combinatorial agency” model for this setting, where the principal is restricted to inducing a pure Nash equilibrium. Here, we show that the principal may possibly gain from inducing a mixed equilib...

Video analysis and mixed reality (MR) systems, which integrate the virtual world and the real world, are important topics of multimedia research. In this paper, we propose an efficient 3D city construction system from omni video data as a practical application of MR systems. To develop this system, two main methods are proposed for analyzing omni video data. The first one is omniEPI analysis, w...

Make more knowledge even in less time every day. You may not always spend your time and money to go abroad and get the experience and knowledge by yourself. Reading is a good alternative to do in getting this desirable knowledge and experience. You may gain many things from experiencing directly, but of course it will spend much money. So here, by reading linear mixed models for longitudinal da...

Research results of improving remote collaboration are presented. The results are based on a new concept of mixed reality. It is capable of to train collaborative work over remote sites. The collaborative environment makes use of the system named deriveSERVER, which has been developed by the Artec Research Center (University of Bremen). It is extended to allow the integration with remote hardwa...

This paper proposes two mixed models to study a consumer’s optimal saving in the presence of two types of risk: income risk and background risk. In the first model, income risk is represented by a fuzzy number and background risk by a random variable. In the second model, income risk is represented by a random variable and background risk by a fuzzy number. For each model, three notions of prec...
