Abstract:

To be immersed in a virtual environment, the user must be presented with plausible sensory input including auditory cues. A virtual (three-dimensional) audio display aims to allow the user to perceive the position of a sound source at an arbitrary position in three-dimensional space despite the fact that the generated sound may be emanating from a fixed number of loudspeakers at fixed positions in space or a pair of headphones. The foundation of virtual audio rests on the development of technology to present auditory signals to the listener's ears so that these signals are perceptually equivalent to those the listener would receive in the environment being simulated. This paper reviews the human perceptual and technical literature relevant to the modeling and generation of accurate audio displays for virtual environments. Approaches to acoustical environment simulation are summarized and the advantages and disadvantages of the various approaches are presented.

Abstract:

The technology of modelling various situations in virtual environment systems, which are computer three-dimensional models of a real or artificial environment, is discussed. The user can view these scenes directly on the computer screen, wall screen, in a stereo glasses, virtual reality glasses, etc. He can also move inside a virtual scene and interact with its objects. In turn, the environment can also change. This allows modelling of various situations (situation modelling) in the virtual environment system. With such modelling, some static or dynamic situation is set in the virtual environment system in which the operator must perform the tasks assigned to him. A mechanism for setting situations by changing a virtual three-dimensional scene using configuration files and virtual control panels is proposed. A special language has been developed for writing configuration files, and a special editor has been developed for creating virtual control panels. The approbation of the proposed methods is presented on the examples of two virtual scenes: a training ground for mobile robots and a jet backpack for the rescue of an astronaut in outer space.

Abstract:

Virtual humans are computer-generated characters designed to look and behave like real people. Studies have shown that virtual humans can mimic many of the social effects that one finds in human-human interactions such as creating rapport, and people respond to virtual humans in ways that are similar to how they respond to real people. We believe that virtual humans represent a new metaphor for interacting with computers, one in which working with a computer becomes much like interacting with a person and this can bring social elements to the interaction that are not easily supported with conventional interfaces. We present two systems that embody these ideas. The first, the Twins are virtual docents in the Museum of Science, Boston, designed to engage visitors and raise their awareness and knowledge of science. The second SimCoach, uses an empathetic virtual human to provide veterans and their families with information about PTSD and depression.

Abstract:

With significant advancements being witnessed in the engineering industry daily, it has become increasingly vital for society to seek out particular new ways of interacting with computer technology and automation as their demand grows in society. Today, every device is developing the use of touch screen technology on its computer systems, although it is not cost-effective to use in all applications. A specialized system, similar to a virtual device, that provides object pursuit (tracking) and Gestures to let us engage; it might be an effective alternative to the standard touch screen and also the solid physical gadgets. The goal is to create an object pursuit (tracking) program that communicates with the computer system. This proposed model is a computer vision-based control system that involves hand movements taken from a digital camera via a hand detection technique implemented with OpenCV libraries. Our project applies gesture recognition as a topic that comes under two computer science fields augmented reality and human-computer interaction and we have created a virtual gesture system to elucidate human gestures through mathematical algorithms. Users can use simple finger or hand gestures to control or interact with the system without physically touching them and also included voice assistance to start and end the gesture controlling system. Gesture recognition can be viewed as a way for computers to begin to recognize human body language and signs, thus stuffing the void between computing systems and humans than the earliest text user interfaces or even graphical user interfaces, which still limit the majority of input to keyboard and mouse are may not be very efficient at all times. The algorithm is focused on deep learning for detecting the gestures. Hence, the proposed system will avoid the pandemic situation of COVID-19 spread by reducing the human interaction with the devices to control the system

Abstract:

In the current marketplace, products are required to proceed rapidly from conceptualization to production. This has put a great deal of pressure on the current state of computer software systems. These include computer-aided design and manufacturing systems, design for assembly systems, design for manufacture systems, and manufacturing simulation systems. Modern product development processes call for rapid designs and adapting designs to suit ever changing customer requirements. Virtual prototyping is allowing engineers to quickly create digital prototypes, allowing for quick evaluation of conceptual designs. New technologies such as virtual reality are now being used to aid engineers in the area of virtual prototyping. Existing systems using virtual reality technology are limited in their expandability, customization, or usability with current design software systems. This paper discusses an expandable and customizable architecture aimed at integrating virtual product development tools.

Abstract:

Virtual machining allows simulation of the machining process by realistically representing kinematic, static and dynamic behaviour of the intended machine tools. Using this method, manufacturing-related issues can be brought to light and corrected before the product is physically manufactured. Machining systems utilised in the manufacturing processes are represented in the virtual machining environment, and there is a plethora of commercial virtual machining software used in the industry. Each software system has a different focus and approach towards virtual machining; more than one system may be needed to complete machining verification. Thus, the significant increase in the use of virtual machining systems in the industry has increased the need for information reusability. Substantial time and money has been put into the research of virtual machining systems. However, very little of this research has been deployed within industrial best practice, and its acceptance by the end user remains unclear. This article reviews current research trends in the domain of virtual machining and also discusses how much of this research has been taken on board by software vendors in order to facilitate machine tool information reusability. The authors present use cases which utilise the novel concept of machining capability profile and the emerging STEP-NC compliant process planning framework for resource allocation. The use cases clearly demonstrate the benefits of using a neutral file format for representing machining capability profiles, as opposed to remodelling and/or reconfiguring of this information multiple times for different scenarios. This article has shown through the use cases that machining capability profiles are critical for representing recourse information from a kinematic, static and dynamic perspective that commercial software vendors can subsequently use. The impact of this on mainstream manufacturing industry is potentially significant as it will enable a true realisation of interoperability.

Abstract:

The recent development of Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) for Virtual Worlds has resulted in a growing interest in realistic visual feedback. In this paper, we investigate the potential role of Virtual Agents in neurofeedback (NF) systems, which constitute an important paradigm for BCI. We discuss the potential of virtual agents to contribute to the success of NF in the specific context of affective BCI. Throughout the paper, we illustrate our presentation with two fully implemented NF prototypes featuring virtual agents. The first is an interactive narrative in which the user empathises with the feature character; the second, an emotion regulation system in which virtual crowd behaviour becomes a metaphor for arousal, as the user attempts to down-regulate their affective state.

Abstract:

This paper examines two aspects of multi-user virtual reality (VR) systems; the socio-technical shaping of these systems and the social relations inside multi-user virtual worlds. The paper begins with an overview of the history of networked interactive computer graphics and examines the main factors which are currently shaping networked VR systems. The second part explores the social relations between users inside virtual worlds and makes comparisons with other forms of computer-mediated-communication. In the conclusion, these two parts are linked: how is the development of multi-user virtual reality technology influencing how users interact within virtual worlds - and vice versa?

Abstract:

The development of computer technology has enabled the emergence of new teaching opportunities in an artificial, virtual environment. It is then possible to work with electronic systems without the possibility of physical access to them and without measuring equipment. Such teaching and work with electronic systems was possible in a laboratory with computer stations with appropriate software. Only the development of network technology, and in particular the Internet, made it possible to fully virtual work at a distance. Until now, virtual learning has only been an alternative to teaching in a real hardware lab. It was also a supplement to the work that was carried out in the course of practical teaching with students. It was only the emergence of the Covid-19 epidemic that made this type of remote work learning a necessity, but also the only alternative in the event of school closings and quarantines. The necessity of distance learning inspired the use and development of many programs and information systems for this purpose. The paper presents selected programs that can be used and are used to learn electronics at a distance while working remotely. Each of these systems has its own advantages and disadvantages and can meet specific requirements.

Abstract:

In the past decade, networked virtual environments (NVEs) have been an increasingly active area of research, with the first commercial systems emerging recently. Graphical and behavioral representation of users within such systems is a particularly important issue that has lagged in development behind other issues such as network architectures and space structuring. In this paper, we expose the importance of using virtual humans within these systems and provide a brief overview of several virtual humans technologies used in particular for simulation of crowds. As the main technical contribution, the paper presents the integration of these technologies with the COVEN-DIVE platform, the extension of the DIVE system developed within the COVEN project. In conjunction with this, we present our contributions through the COVEN project to the MPEG-4 standard concerning the representation of virtual humans.

Abstract:

A management of computer classroom is undoubtedly a difficult task for the administrator which has to prepare virtual operating systems for education. It is quite common that lectors need to edit the particular machine during the semester, and that is the case where the main problems can appear. The process of changes deployment is not just very time-consuming but during it a virtual machine inconsistency can appear. The main part of this paper focuses on system process diagrams and its pseudocode. At first, the machine is created on the remote server by lector or administrator. After a proper approval, the machine is able to be deployed. The lector then specifies the details about date, time and destinations of the virtual machine deployment. Once these details are approved, the virtual machine will be automatically deployed at the specified time. The automatic deployment includes also an initial configuration of the virtual machine at remote desktop and its post-install configuration (hostname, MAC address, etc.). Once all steps are completed, the process will be marked as succeed. We present an automatized solution which provides a possibility how to easily manage computer classroom with virtual operating systems. The proposed solution should deliver a greater flexibility, more reliability and faster deployment in comparison with the current solution used in our computer classroom. The proposal is also able to manipulate with already deployed machines for easy changes (e.g. software updates). The main advantage is the improvement of classroom management process automation.

Abstract:

Information-systems development continues to be a difficult process, particularly for virtual teams that do not have the luxury of meeting face-to-face. The research literature on this topic reinforces this point: the greater part of database systems development projects ends in failure. The use of virtual teams to complete projects further compounds these failures. However, recent developments in intelligent virtual assistants (IVAs), such as Siri, Cortana, or Watson, have created opportunities to automate the systems-development process and improve success rates. Specifically, the use of a virtual assistant possessing key knowledge about database systems development can increase virtual team member technical proficiency in project-based skills. In addition, a virtual assistant can contribute to the development of higher-quality virtual team projects—in this case, database management systems. This observational study found that while the result of statistical analysis was not quite significant, teams that used the IVA did develop higher-quality team projects.

Abstract:

The paper proposes methods and algorithms for collision detection of bounding cylinders that surround the geometry of virtual objects. The proposed solutions are based on the separating axis theorem and analysis of possible contact interaction cases between two cylinders. The idea is to approximate the cylinders by prisms with their Gauss map to the unit sphere, which reduces the number of separating axes. Also, to compute contact points, an approach was developed based on fast geometric tests, in which polygon and segment are clipping by a prism, as a common perpendicular between line segments and a point on the circle are found. Based on methods and algorithms proposed in this work, software modules were implemented. Approbation of these modules in the virtual environment system VirSim, which was developed in Scientific Research Institute for System Analysis of the Russian Academy of Sciences, showed the adequacy and effectiveness of created methods and algorithms for real-time simulation of virtual cylindrical objects. The results obtained in this work can be used to solve many practical problems in virtual environment systems, training complexes, educational applications, animation, computer games, etc.

Abstract:

Abstract The clinical laboratory's use of computers has evolved beyond the single minicomputer stand-alone system. Our laboratory information system is now part of an institutional network. The laboratory also uses smaller systems and workstations for a wide variety of functions, often with much data duplication among systems. We have been developing a network-based virtual database for laboratory test information. This system uses World Wide Web standards for hypertext and multimedia displays, which allows for the display of information retrieved from various department computer sources without the necessity of data duplication, modification of existing systems, or centralization of data. The medical technologists can continue to write testing procedures on their word processors. Maintenance of reference values, specimen requirements, etc., can continue as a laboratory information system function. Yet information from all of these disparate sources can be viewed in a consolidated format that has platform independence.

Abstract:

Tridimensional representations stimulate cognitive processes that are the core and foundation of human-computer interaction (HCI). Those cognitive processes take place while a user navigates and explores a virtual environment (VE) and are mainly related to spatial memory storage, attention, and perception. VEs have many distinctive features (e.g., involvement, immersion, and presence) that can significantly improve HCI in highly demanding and interactive systems such as brain-computer interfaces (BCI). BCI is as a nonmuscular communication channel that attempts to reestablish the interaction between an individual and his/her environment. Although BCI research started in the sixties, this technology is not efficient or reliable yet for everyone at any time. Over the past few years, researchers have argued that main BCI flaws could be associated with HCI issues. The evidence presented thus far shows that VEs can (1) set out working environmental conditions, (2) maximize the efficiency of BCI control panels, (3) implement navigation systems based not only on user intentions but also on user emotions, and (4) regulate user mental state to increase the differentiation between control and noncontrol modalities.

The system merges completely synthetic, completely real, and mixed-domain elements. Careful attention to timing is required to combine these elements. In addition to the obvious training application, the system suggests future model-based broadcast communication systems.

A new computer aided analysis method for frictionless impact problems due to interference between two bodies in a constrained multibody system is presented in this paper. A virtual contact joint concept is used to detect interference between two bodies and calculate the jump in the body momenta, velocity discontinuities and rebounds. The interference surfaces can be described by the joint coordinates of the virtual contact joint, which are very useful for determining the impact time, the types and positions of two impact surfaces and impact initial conditions when an interference happens between two bodies.

Abstract:

This article compares the brightness and uniformity perception of virtual corridor displayed on computer screens and under different surrounding conditions, between two groups of respondents. The computer simulations of 10 lighting scenarios in the empty corridor, diverse in terms of luminance distribution and lighting power density, were developed. The visual assessment of the lighting effects was carried out on the basis of surveys. The respondents assessed the brightness and uniformity of each plane and entire corridor for each scenario, using semantic differential scaling. Each person from the first group individually made their evaluations on the same computer screen placed in the experimental box. Each person from the second group made the assessments on different computer screens, and all respondents from this group made the evaluations in the computer room at the same time. A high convergence of the results between the groups was found in the assessments of brightness and uniformity perception for consecutive lighting situations. In 93.75% of cases, the same perception in brightness and uniformity between the group means was achieved. A high convergence of the results between the groups in the assessment of brightness and uniformity perception for the same lighting situations was also demonstrated.

Abstract:

Recently virtualization has been one of the most popular research topics in system software area. While there are many commercial virtualization products for general-purpose computer system, little efforts are made to virtualize embedded system. In this paper, we design and implement a virtual machine monitor which divides each physical hardware resource of an embedded system into logical ones and reorganizes them into many virtual machines so that several real-time operating systems run concurrently on a single embedded system. We measure various performance metrics of the virtual machine monitor developed on a real embedded system. The results of the measurement study show that our virtual machine monitor has enough potentiality of its application to real-world embedded systems.

Abstract:

Virtual reality (VR) is usually described by the media as a particular collection of technological hardware: a computer capable of 3-D real-time animation, a head-mounted display, and data gloves equipped with one or more position trackers. However, this focus on technology is somewhat disappointing for communication researchers and VR designers. To overcome this limitation, this paper describes VR as a communication tool: a communication medium in the case of multiuser VR and a communication interface in single-user VR. The consequences of this approach for the design and the development of VR systems are presented, together with the methodological and technical implications for the study of interactive communication via computers.

Abstract:

Social media sites have gained popularity in the past decade by enabling people to create and share content online easily. However, social media cannot engage users on a level beyond content prosumption to create immersive experiences. A promising technology to create such experiences is multimodal virtual reality. REVERIE is a multimodal framework with an integrated workflow for developing immersive experiences, including various forms of virtual representation of human users (e.g., replicas and avatars). To demonstrate the social and collaborative capabilities of the framework, the authors created the Virtual Hangout. It features a VE where people can meet online to socialise and collaborate. This paper presents a study designed to evaluate user immersion using participants with variable computer skills. The results showed that participants experienced engagement-based immersion but not presence. Barriers to immersion were the absence of pleasurable interactions and the participants' computer skills. The authors propose DGs for deeply immersive experiences in Virtual Hangout and similar systems.

Abstract:

The paper describes methods and approaches for implementation of traces from virtual prototypes of wheeled technical vehicles on solid objects in three-dimensional virtual scenes. Use of particle systems hierarchically linked to wheel models is the basis of solutions developed. Original type of particle system is proposed, in which generation of elements is regulated by special control signal. Creation, processing, storage and destruction of particles is performed by means of the CUDA architecture with use of computing cores of modern graphics processor and video memory resources. Creating geometric model of each particle and its rendering is carried out on programmable graphics pipeline with own vertex, geometry and fragment shaders. Visualization of virtual environment with simulation of wheel tracks is performed in real time. Software modules were created based on developed methods and approaches. Approbation of them was carried out in virtual environment system VirSim and showed adequacy and effectiveness of proposed solutions for simulation of wheel tracks in virtual environment systems and training complexes.

Abstract:

<abstract>Traditional virtual simulated interaction systems experience data fragmentation during the process of converting from two-dimensional to three-dimensional information, resulting in reduced realism and an inability to meet the teaching requirements of computer courses. Therefore, the integration of augmented reality (AR) technology into the educational environment remains an urgent and unresolved issue. To address the aforementioned issues, this paper investigates the data throughput limitations present in virtual simulation interaction systems. In response to this problem, an application solution utilizing AR technology is proposed, specifically a design concept for a virtual simulation interactive system tailored to computer-related courses. This system achieves its objectives through the collaborative interaction of AR hardware and supplementary software algorithms. The AR hardware is subdivided into framework design and functional hardware design, while the software components encompass AR models, virtual interaction models, and fusion methods. Through testing and comparison of the data throughput of this system with two other virtual simulation interaction systems, it was found that the virtual simulation interactive system optimized using AR technology can effectively enhance data throughput and address the issue of reduced realism in virtual interaction scenes caused by data fragmentation. This design system provides a more realistic and efficient mode of interaction for teaching computer-related courses.</abstract>

Abstract:

We present a virtual environment application that allows users to access embedded information within an immersive virtual space. Due to the richness and complexity of this environment, efficient and easy-to-use interaction techniques are a crucial requirement. The “Virtual Venue” seamlessly combines both twoand three-dimensional interaction techniques into a single system and utilizes previously reported as well as novel techniques that fit the task of information access. We present tools for user control of the system, travel through the environment, and information retrieval, as well as authoring tools for the creation of information-rich virtual environments. A usability study and its results are also presented and discussed. The study indicates that the use of abstract information that is tightly coupled to the virtual environment can be quite successful in enhancing the relevance of both the environment and the information. Results also show that the set of well-constrained interaction techniques presented here are usable and efficient for information retrieval.

Abstract:

During recent years, the use of virtual reality technology has become widespread and popular. However, to further broaden the application of virtual reality, more sophisticated and realistic virtual worlds need to be developed. Traditionally, most virtual worlds are generated using three-dimensional (3D) computer graphics incorporating 3D geometric models and various rendering software. However, if 3D models become very complex, the delay time caused by rendering calculations makes it difficult for the user to be able to interact with the virtual world. Also, the production of realistic 3D computer graphics is very cost and labor intensive. From a very practical point of view, it is clear that we need some alternate approaches to realize a truly realistic virtual world. In this paper, the authors introduce an alternate method of generating virtual worlds other than 3D computer graphics. The method discussed here is to generate virtual worlds by processing 2D real images taken by video cameras. For this purpose, a special video camera system that can record image data indexed by position data was developed. Using recorded image data indexed by position data we are able to experience the virtual image world interactively. This method has become realistic due to advances in multimedia computers capable of handling large image data. A tested prototype of this kind of system is discussed in some depth, along with the capability and limitations of this prototype system.
