Here we demonstrate our Intelligent Coaching Space, an immersive virtual environment in which users learn a motor action (e.g. a squat) under the supervision of a virtual coach. We detail how we assess the ability of the coachee in executing the motor action, how the intelligent coaching space and its features are realized and how the virtual coach leads the coachee through a coaching session.

Marcos Novak mainly considers a type of architecture cuts loose from the expectations of logic, perspective, and laws of gravity, and has invented a set of conceptual tools for thinking about and constructing territories in cyberspace. Novak introduces the concept of "liquid architecture”, a fluid, imaginary landscape that exists only in the Digital domain. He views trans-architecture as an exp...

Collaborative examination and use of shared documents often happens in a common physical space like in a tourist office. We developed a 3D immersive space to study collaboration on an information task in a virtual environment. In our paper, we present the qualitative results about cooperative work in the VirCA virtual environment. Our research is aiming to show that a 3D virtual environment can...

We report an implementation of GeneSys, which is a Web information integration system on 3D virtual space. We have built Kwansei Gakuin Kobe Sanda Campus as a virtual space called VKSC in which character agents navigate a user. VKSC reflects the Web information concerning weather, school calendar, and laboratories in the campus and the behaviour of agents changes depending on the information. C...

The rapid developments in the field of online threedimensional (3D) virtual worlds have considerable impact on education activities. Therefore, the 3D designers and teachers start to consider the interaction between design and usability of 3D virtual learning spaces as essential tool for educational systems. For the purpose of our research, a virtual learning space was created as a chemistry cl...

Virtual machine with dynamic binary translation system is the key technology to solve software compatibility problem. But traditional user space binary translation systems can’t translate hardware drivers such as graphics drivers in operating system kernel directly, instead, they need translate the entire operating system. To solve this problem, we designed a new binary translation framework. T...

Avatars play an important role for the embodiment of the users in virtual space communication systems. However, the conventional systems to realize the gaze have required camera-based precise eye tracking and the numbers of the users have been restricted. This paper proposes a simple substitution for the gaze control in a virtual space voice chat system. The method is to control the gaze target...

Immersive virtual environments (VEs) provide participants with computer-generated environments filled with virtual objects to assist in learning, training, and practicing dangerous and/or expensive tasks. But for certain tasks, does having every object being virtual inhibit the interactivity? Further, does the virtual object’s visual fidelity affect performance? Overall VE effectiveness may be ...
