Programmable vertex processing unit increases the programmability and enables customizations of transformation and lighting in the graphics pipeline. Furthermore, it offers various effects such as procedural vertex animation and deformation, which were impossible to handle in fixed vertex processing. Since it is hard to find a programmable graphics hardware for the embedded systems such as mobi...

Streszczenie. Animacja oparta ns symulacji fizycznej, dzięki rosnącej mocy obliczeniowej obecnie używanego sprzętu komputerowego, ma szansę zostać wiodącym trendem w komputerowo wspomaganej animacji postaci wirtualnych. Mimo niewiele gorszej jakości ruchu syntetyzowanego w stosunku do technik motion-capture wyniki są bardzo obiecujące. Słowa kluczowe: animacja fizyczna, przechwytywanie ruchu, s...

Advances in computer technology and multi-media systems have led to widespread interest in computer-based instruction and learning environments. The use of video, animation, graphics, and simulation allow the presentation of material in realistic contexts, thus addressing the problems of inert knowledge while promoting constructive and generative learning. But the true potential and bene ts of ...

abstract the present study was an attempt to investigate the effect of it system-based instruction vs. traditional instruction of teaching english on iranian low-intermediate efl learners’ reading comprehension ability in a smart school in tonekabon, mazandaran, iran. to collect the data, 60 low-intermediate high school learners took part in the study. as to the homogeneity of the participants,...

In this paper, the well-known Cholesky Algorithm (for solving simultaneous linear equations, or SLE) is re-visited, with the ultimate goal of developing a simple, userfriendly, attractive, and useful Java Visualization and Animation Graphical User Interface (GUI) software as an additional teaching tool for students to learn the Cholesky factorization in a step-by-step fashion with computer voic...

Background The study investigated the main effects of animation information and textual information on students’ performance and improving students’ attitude towards physics. Material and methods The study adopted the pre-test post-test control group design. The population was made up of SSS 2 students in Ondo State. Three Local Government Areas were randomly selected from the 18 Local Governme...

This study attempted to systematically inspect the impact of direct and indirect corrective feedbacks on the writing ability of EFL learners when using product/process based instructions. To do so, 110 female EFL learners, between the ages of 15 and 18, were randomly assigned into four experimental groups to receive four different kinds of treatments, namely product-based instruction with direc...

The NSF-sponsored Greenfield Coalition for New Manufacturing Education delivers innovative instruction in manufacturing engineering and technology to candidates who work and learn at Focus: HOPE’s Center for Advanced Technologies (CAT), located in Detroit. Computer based multimedia instructional modules designed for this curriculum provide innovative ways to enhance the learning experience for ...

Many undergraduate biology courses have begun to implement instructional strategies aimed at increasing student interaction with course material outside of the classroom. Two examples of such practices are introducing students to concepts as preparation prior to instruction, and as conceptual reinforcement after the instructional period. Using a three-group design, we investigate the impact of ...
