Mixed reality boundaries establish transparent windows between physical and virtual spaces. We introduce a set of properties that allow such boundaries to be configured to support different styles of co-operative activity. These properties are grouped into three categories: permeability (properties of visibility, audibility and solidity); situation (properties of location, alignment, mobility a...

OBJECTIVE To model inconsistencies or distortions among three realities: patients' physical reality; clinicians' mental models of patients' conditions, laboratories, etc; representation of that reality in electronic health records (EHR). To serve as a potential tool for quality improvement of EHRs. METHODS Using observations, literature, information technology (IT) logs, vendor and US Food an...

Over the past fifty years, artists have explored the computer’s potential to create both virtual and physical art forms that embrace the concept of space. Through the use of immersion, interaction, and manipulation of both virtual and physical space, computer artists have created powerful aesthetic environments that enable audiences to experience alternative realities. Immersive installations t...

Recently, a new paradigm of wireless access, termed as cell-free massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), has drawn significant research interest. Its primary distinction from conventional MIMO aided cellular networks is the ability to eliminate detrimental inter-cell interference (ICI), or convert ICI, into extra power for intended signal via multi-cell cooperation approach originated ne...

Let us first take what is not a simple example, since it was the path along which I came to this idea of ecology : scientific practices, and more particularly physics. Physics as a practice is in dire need of a new habitat, since from its birth as the first so-called "modern science" its claims were entangled with its historical "habitat", and since those claims did survive this habitat. As a r...

The second half of the nineteenth century in Spain was a period characterized by a strong presence of social science, which even came to permeate the masses. Evolutionary theories and some figures such as Charles Darwin himself were present in areas far from the scientific activity proper. The use of concepts and laws of biological origin for the diagnosis and political practice against certain...

We begin by reviewing current spatial approaches to CSCW (mediaspaces, spatial video conferencing, collaborative virtual environments and telepresence applications) and classifying them along the proposed dimensions of transportation, artificiality and spatiality. This classification leads us to identify new shared space applications; so called mixed realities. We present an example of a mixed ...
