Collaboration between people who are not co-located still poses many problems. In this demo, we show how to create an immersive virtual office, where people can meet each other. Different novel technologies are combined in order to reach this goal. People can collaborate by using a multitouch interface to exchange ideas. Moreover, free-viewpoint video allows people to have eye-gaze corrected fa...

This paper presents a general modeling approach intended to facilitate design of physical-virtual environments. Although the model is based on elements found in typical office environments, certain care has been taken to open for the modeling of more diverse settings with minimal ontological changes. The design approach finds inspiration in the technology-driven areas of Ubiquitous/Pervasive Co...

In this paper, we describe our initial experiences with Mixed Reality Architecture (MRA) in use in an everyday office setting. Two offices and one meeting space were dynamically linked across a single virtual space for a period of three weeks. MRA has become useful for maintaining general background awareness of others but also as an easy to engage with tool for remote communication. We describ...

omestic and industrial robots, intelligent software agents, virtual-world avatars, and other artificial entities are being created and deployed in our society for various routine and hazardous tasks, as well as for entertainment and companionship. Over the past ten years or so, primarily in response to the growing security threats and financial fraud, it has become necessary to accurately authe...

Background In the area of Electronic Contracting and Virtual Company Formation within Supply-Chains there has been little research or development work. During this paper we will outline the European Union sponsored project SUPPLYPOINT (ESPRIT 27007) which addresses the issues of panEuropean electronic trade links for business-to-business and business-to-public body electronic commerce. This wil...

Using measurements of Mg  609.78 and 624.94 Å lines from the Coronal Diagnostic Spectrometer (CDS) on board SOHO, we seek to examine the variation of line width and line ratio in regions far off-limb at the Northern pole of the Sun. It is found that above ≈1150′′ the ratio of the two coronal Mg  resonance lines reduces to values that might be expected for a more radiatively dominant excitatio...

This research-in-progress investigates EHR adoption in small primary care practices. By surveying 19 small physician offices, the preliminary findings suggest that small practices who have adopted EHRs perceive substantial benefits in ensuring that patients benefit from the quality care. The findings also imply that more small practices need to be reached out and small practices physicians be a...

Social distancing is an effective way to reduce the spread of SARS-CoV-2 virus. Many students and researchers have already attempted use computer vision technology automatically detect human beings in field view a camera help enforce social distancing. However, because present lockdown measures several countries, validation systems using large-scale datasets challenge. In this paper, new method...
