Comprensione spaziale e localizzazione in ambienti interni
Ogni giorno gli esseri umani usano l'intelligenza artificiale nel loro lavoro o per uno stile di vita migliore. Un sistema intelligente, per realizzare questi scopi, deve avere comportamenti e caratteristiche tipico degli esseri umani, per una migliore cooperazione in un ambiente interno. Una …

Participatory research with adults with Asperger's syndrome: using spatial analysis to explore how they make sense of their experience.
… is taken away from support to consider forms of understanding. It has resulted in the proposal of a new way of understanding Asperger’s syndrome. It proposes models for understanding how people with Asperger’s syndrome and neuro-typical people relate to each other. These models challenge a …

Development of an Augmented Reality Application for Surface-Only Visualization of Finite Element Analysis Results
… to 2D screens, constrain user interaction and spatial understanding. This work presents a custom surface-only visualization algorithm designed for immersive exploration of FEA results in Augmented Reality. The algorithm focuses on extracting and displaying stress and deformation data only from …

A Framework for Incorporating Virtual Reality into the Early Stages of the Design Process and Massing Studies
… restrict architects' ability to fully explore spatial qualities and contextualize their ideas within the project site, limiting their understanding of spatial relationships, scale, and proportions. By merging VR technologies into the early design stages, architects can better visualize their …

Rituals of health : new healing spaces for Khayelitsha district hospital
… on health pose. The second section focuses on a spatial understanding of how these systems are carried out in our city and seeks to analyse the various spatiality's of healing practices. The idea is to search for how new spaces of healthcare could be realised that reflect cultural difference, …

Barnyard politics : a decision rationale representation for the analysis of simple political situations
… Jintae Lee attempted to address the problem of understanding decision rationales in a non-domain specific way. His work falls short, however, when applied to decision problems in politics. I present a new representation, the Augmented Decision Rationale Language (ADRL) that attempts to address …

Dynamic visualization : the significance of motion in the visualization of the architectural design model
… can provide us with the means to examine spatial ideas dynamically. This can increase an observer's understanding and enable designers to manipulate their ideas in a more reactive and dynamic environment. This thesis will examine the more conventional media used to convey form and space, …

Cast Out Urbanites: The Historical Problematization of Cows in Kingston
… takes them seriously as subjects. I argue that a spatial understanding of problematization allows for a nuanced multispecies analysis. In doing so, I analytically focus on spaces of configuration, material spaces of governance, and institutional/social spaces. Methodologically, I use material …

The Production of Space, Place, and Food: The Ecology of Money and the Emergence of Transformative Circuits of Money Capital
… the stages: purchase, production, and sale are spatially differentiated. The capacity to investigate distances is facilitated by efforts to overcome critiques of Lefebvre’s theory of space as being too abstract for practical application. This is accomplished by mapping the stages of the Marxian …

The geography of the clinic: spatial form, meaning and practice at a Western Cape community health centre
… understood as socially and political contingent. Spatial disorder and insecurity was demonstrated to impact directly upon clinical functioning and social identity. Current changes in health policy, service deterioration and community conflict have amplified staff's anxieties regarding real and …

Perceptual prototypes : towards a sensory pedagogy of space
… over the other senses. If we are to extend our spatial understanding, we need to expand the boundaries of our sensory perception by developing tools and situated learning strategies focused on the interaction between our bodies and the built environment. I propose the Perceptual Prototypes as …

Experiments in the Use of Immersion for Information Visualization
… an enhanced realistic effect, and can improve spatial understanding and orientation. By identifying or developing useful interaction techniques (ITs), we can develop VE systems for better information visualization. This thesis has two different experiments that were related to two different …

Marketing managers : The evocation and structure of socially negotiated meaning.
… responsible for forms of architecture and spatial understanding which reflect the social asymmetries that derive from a dependence upon mass consumption, mass employment and mass production. The same imbalance arises in an analysis of the Ford Edsel, a redoubtable commercial failure. Here, …

Alive Scene: Participatory Multimodal AI Framework for Collective Narratives in Dynamic 3D Scene
… fosters communal knowledge and enhances the spatial understanding of individual users. Alive Scene produces rich, semantic-level communication among users, akin to the dynamic propagation of cultural memes. The Alive Scene System integrates two advanced techniques: 3D scene reconstruction …

Long-term Object-based SLAM in Low-dynamic Environments
… primitives from observations, lacking semantic understanding. These unordered sets of points, lines, or planes struggle with object-level interpretation, leading to false estimation against scene changes. As the world functions and evolves under the minimal unit of objects, object-aided SLAM is …

Cancer from a spatial perspective : locating the unspeakable, healing, and hope

Mixed physical and virtual design environments for digital fabrication
… This lack of reflection impedes designer's spatial understanding in virtual design environments. To enable our virtual creations to become physical reality, we have to posses an ample amount of design and engineering knowledge, which further steepens the learning curve for novices. Lastly, …

Strangers in the city: an assessment of the urban tourist experience
This study centres upon Manchester and its spatial understanding as accrued by tourists. The assessment of urban tourist experience embraces three distinct concepts that discern this work from previous approaches to date. Namely, that tourist experience consists of behaviour and meaning, with …
