The exhibit installation “Virtual Gutenberg’s Printing Press” helps people to understand the Gutenberg’s invention using State-of-the-Art augmented reality technology. The functionality of the Gutenberg’s printing press is shown in a user-friendly way, with presentation technology completely hidden from visitor experience and using real objects as user interface. Visitors can simulate the book ...

Hilbert's spacelling curve is a continuous function that maps the unit interval onto the unit square. The construction of such curves in the 1890s surprised mathematicians of the time and led, in part, to the development of dimension theory. In this paper, we discuss how modern notions of selfsimilarity illuminate the structure of this curve. In particular, we show that Hilbert's curve has a ba...

A virtual reality tool is presented which allows to display the activity of a human operator performing a routine which involves manipulation with objects. This tool represents a presentation module of the running EU project ActIPret. The project stresses mainly the cognitive vision aspects and aims at interpretation and understanding of expert activities for teaching and education purposes. Th...

The trace fossil assemblages from the Unit 2 of Deh-Sufiyan Formation are described for the first time from The Central Alborz Range of northern Iran,  improving the record of the assemblages in the Cambrian of the Middle East. Twenty-one ichnogenera have been identified in the Deh-Sufiyan Formation, namely Arenicolites, Bergaueria, Chondrites, Circulichnus, Cruziana, Diplichnites, Didymaulichnu...

MR-mirror is a novel Mixed-Reality (MR) display system created by using real and virtual mirrors. It merges real visual information reflected on a real mirror and a virtual one displayed on an electronic monitor. A user’s body is presented by the reflection on the real mirror, and virtual objects are presented on a monitor that is visible through the real mirror. Users can observe an MR scene w...

While the angular spatialization of source sounds through individualized Head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) has been extensively investigated in auditory display research, also leading to effective real-time rendering of these functions, conversely the interactive simulation of egocentric distance information has received less attention. The latter, in fact, suffers from the lack of realti...

Large and complex information requires arbitrarily extensive displays for an exact, comprehensive visualization. This paper introduces a technique, time-multiplexing, for presenting such information that concentrates on the efficient management of time for a typical display. Timemultiplexing complements classical approaches, which are graphics oriented and make use of spatial and perceptual fea...

Ubiquitous vital signs sensing using wireless medical sensors are promising alternatives to conventional, inhospital healthcare systems. The advent of modern age has shown a drastic shift in the way humans have worked leading into sedentary lifestyles. Change in dietary pattern where fresh food is replaced by processed and fast food along with the increase of stress has led to rise of cardio-va...
