This paper proposes a novel entity state update technique for physics-rich environments in peer-to-peer Distributed Interactive Applications. The proposed technique consists of a dynamic authority scheme for shared objects and a physics-aware dead reckoning model with an adaptive error threshold. The former is employed to place a bound on the overall inconsistency present in shared objects, whi...

The aim of this article is to generalize logics formal inconsistency (LFIs) systems dealing with the concept incompatibility, expressed by means a binary connective. basic idea that having two incompatible formulas hold trivializes deduction, and as special case, formula becomes consistent (in sense LFIs) when it its own negation. We show how notion extends consistency in non-trivial way, prese...

BACKGROUND Orthopedic surgeons depend on the intraoperative use of fluoroscopy to facilitate procedures across all subspecialties. The versatility of the C-arm fluoroscope allows acquisition of nearly any radiographic view. This versatility, however, creates the opportunity for difficulty in communication between surgeon and radiation technologist. Poor communication leads to delays, frustratio...
