Immersive displays for virtual reality systems can be roughly classified into spatially immersive displays (similar to CAVE-like dis- plays or large-screen simulators) or head-mounted displays. The former type is usually static in spatial configuration and configured to support a small group of users. The latter supports only a single us […]

Google Expeditions is a Virtual Reality (VR) approach being promoted by Google in schools globally. Google Expeditions are guided tours (field trips) of places that students experience on a smartphone through a virtual reality viewer called Google cardboard. The Open University (OU), UK are conducting a school-based research project ( […]

The aim of the project currently performed at the Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics is the application of new analysis, visualization and interaction tools as components of the scenary of a coming operation theatre. Up to now, CT, MR and entire body sections of the obduction of the visible human have been used as input data for […]

The last three years RIVO-DLO and LEI-DLO have developed a bio-economic simulation model for the Dutch beam trawl fishery. At the VII th IIFET conference in Taipei (1994, Taiwan) some preliminary results were presented and at the 4th EAFE bio-economic modeling workshop in Edinburgh (1995, United Kingdom) the final model was demonstrated. […]

High-speed networks which guarantee a minimum quality-of-service (QoS) enable the development of interactive Web-systems. This paper introduces a new paradigm for interaction with complex virtual worlds on the web, which utilizes both the server and the client simultaneously. The client generates the new views by extrapolating a referenc […]

In network-based walkthroughs the server transmits online only the primitives which are potentially visible from the client's current viewpoint (visibility streaming). To reduce the bandwidth requirements it is necessary to minimize the set of view-dependent potentially visible primitives using occlusion culling techniques. However, […]

This paper presents a technique to improve the performance of a walkthrough in remote virtual environments, where a scene is rendered jointly by the server and the client, in order to reduce the network requirements as much as possible. The client generates novel views by extrapolating a reference view based on the locally available geom […]

With Virtual Reality and CyberSpace as latest computer-based developments approaching Mankind at a quickening pace their dangerous and hallucinating perspectives are linked in this paper to a specific feature of computers: the incomprehensibility of their processes in principle. (This will be explained as resulting from the virtual, non- […]

The recent explosive growth of the Internet and the fact that personal computers with multimedia capabilities are now a commonplace have raised the interest in distributed multimedia systems. Among all multimedia applications, the ones that relate to interactive music are the ones which present the tightest timing constraints. Traditiona […]

At a time of much debate on the subject of legal education within the UK, universities are having to look carefully at the content of their courses, their methods of delivery and ultimately whether this process is meaningfully shaping and future-proofing legal professionals or leaving them ill-prepared for practice. This paper seeks broa […]

Ontology engineering, along with semantic Web technologies, allow the semantic development and modeling of the operational flow required for blockchain design. The semantic Web, in accordance with W3C, "provides a common framework that allows data to be shared and reused across application, enterprise, and community boundaries" and can b […]

Summarisation of documents of high importance for the Business Case

Companies wishing to remain competitive on a global market must go through a lean and digital transformation to enter Industry 4.0. There is no point in digitally transforming processes that are outdated and are not efficient. That's exactly why the process needs to be started with lean. Lean transformation first raises the productivity […]
