Reassembling documentary: from actuality to virtuality
… "Reassembling Documentary: From Actuality to Virtuality" takes up episodic documentaries and non-fiction films broken into distinctly conceptualized parts, in order to examine how the evolution of technologies transform documentary film and media's relationship to the audiovisual archive …

Using Augmented Virtuality to Improve Human-Robot Interactions
… and technology for a three-dimensional augmented virtuality interface are presented. The 3D interface is designed to combine multiple sets of informationinto a single correlated window which can reduce the cognitive processing required to interpret and understand the information in comparison to a …

An Augmented Virtuality Navigation System for Arthroscopic Knee Surgery
… and alignment of an arthroscope using augmented virtuality. A 3D computer model of the patient's joint (from CT) is shown, along with a model of the tracked arthroscopic probe and the projection of the camera image onto the virtual joint. We performed a user study to determine the effectiveness …

Mediathek: a projection of space in reality and virtuality
Working as an architect means being able to see the main issues of a design, examining with objectivity the possible solutions and finally grasp the technical means necessary to accomplish the project. I think that it is important for an architect to be involved in the entire course of a project, …

Secure Collaboration Across the Reality-Virtuality Continuum Using Reservoir Data
… uses a variety of technologies from the reality-virtuality continuum are explored. A prototype tool is then presented that has been developed for collaborating over petroleum reservoir scenarios involving sensitive data. This tool incorporates visual protection mechanisms to facilitate …

The effects of augmented virtuality on presence, workload, and input performance
… possible? Previous work indicates that Augmented Virtuality (AV), a technique that allows the wearer of an HMD to see through it when they need to, is a promising answer to this question. However, direct comparisons between AV and VR that thoroughly account for presence and workload are lacking. …

Material Virtuality: Remaking Rio de Janeiro’s Past and Present through Digital Media
Since the 1970s, Brazil’s authorities have regarded the country’s past as a source of cultural and economic value (Gonçalves 2007; Collins 2015). In the late 2000s, a boom in Brazil’s consumer economy served to make smartphones and social media ubiquitous across the country (Spyer 2017). This …

Multiple literacies in a multicultural setting: Contextualizing nontraditional students' appropriation of virtuality and reality
"This study is an attempt to enact a research agenda that acknowledges the multiple, shifting, and sometimes contradictory positions that nontraditional and marginalized students--especially women--occupy in an academic setting. In particular, I look at the acquisition of academic discourse(s) in a …

Transforming collaborative learning environments: investigating the role augmented virtuality has in measuring collaboration in educational environments
… educational technologies, specifically Augmented Virtuality (AV), a subsection of Mixed-Reality technologies, could potentially transform collaborative education. Although AV is an underexplored dimension in the Virtuality Continuum [2], this study lays the groundwork for its pedagogical …

Virtualizing The Word: Expanding Walter Ong's Theory Of Orality And Literacy Through A Culture Of Virtuality
This dissertation seeks to create a vision for virtuality culture through a theoretical expansion of Walter Ong's literacy and orality culture model. It investigates the ubiquitous and multimodal nature of the virtuality cultural phenomenon that is mediated by contemporary technology and not …

Virtuality's Influence on the Process of Performing Information Systems Development: A case of a software organization
… objectives of the study are: RO1: Explain how virtuality influences the process of doing ISD projects inside the IS Industry. RO1a: Explain how virtuality influences the execution of ISD activities inside the IS Industry. RO1 b: Explain how virtuality influences the assessment of ISD projects …

Virtually Alone: Exploring the Effects of Technology and Job Design on Loneliness in Remote Work Arrangements
… models were surveyed. The results showed that as virtuality of the work arrangement increased so did workplace loneliness. None of the social job design characteristics emerged as significant moderators when using the combined workplace loneliness scale; however, exploratory findings revealed …

The Cyborg Subject: Parallax Realities, Functions of Consciousness and the Void of Subjectivity
… a disruption of conventional reality with the Virtuality of thought and matter respectively, towards the conception of the subject as an engaged spectator. These methodological tools are developed to analyse cultural phenomena that highlight and challenge our consciousness of the relation …

Immersive Space to Think: Immersive Analytics for Sensemaking with Non-Quantitative Datasets
… reality as defined by Milgram-Kishino's Reality-Virtuality Continuum, we found that an augmented virtuality solution best fits users' preferences while still supporting external tools. Lastly, we explored how users deal with varying amounts of space and three-dimensional user interaction …

Towards a spacetime description of hard parton evolution in the quark gluon plasma
… of configuration does not exist. Quark virtuality can have noticeable effects on the rate of energy loss so a first principles calculation is needed for the early time behaviour of virtual particles soon after production. We use the Schwinger Keldysh formalism to calculate a perturbative …

Radiative Transitions in Charmonium
… and extrapolations are performed to the zero virtuality point. Quantities computed are in reasonable agreement with other lattice studies and experimental values, where available. First determinations of radiative partial widths of exotic charmonia using dynamical quarks are calculated.

Meson Photo-Couplings From Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics
… these form factors and transitions on the photon virtuality is extracted and some model intuitions are explored.</p>

Reflecting the instant : information, image, architecture
… my interpretation of Henri Bergson's notion of virtuality- that is, a notion of the totality of possibility as something that surrounds the actual, but is accessible to our minds as mere fragments. The initial stage of the project uses this notion to translate information about the physical site …

Public by design : auto-fabrication for a contemporary urban physiognomy
… and movies. During the '90's, theories of virtuality and the commercialization and privatization of public spaces, were seen as potential dissolvers of physical public places. Today we should acknowledge the power of networked media and digital fabrication for their potential to physically …
