A Human-Centered Approach for the Design of Perimeter Office Spaces Based on Visual Environment Criteria
… are connected with maintaining a pleasant environment in the interior. While thermal comfort has been extensively studied, the satisfaction with the visual environment has still aspects that are either inadequately explained, or even entirely absent from literature. This Thesis investigated …

The oblique effect as a measure of digital media overuse
… the statistical distribution of contours in the visual environment such that there is more neural representation in the visual cortex (area V1) for horizontal and vertical (anisotropic) contours than otherwise ((Hubel & Wisel, 1962). The oblique effect has developed in mammalian and non-mammalian …

Computer animation of human figures in conversation and action
… of figures in a simulated three-dimensional environment. The figures representational quality is improved for the purpose of animation, and its capabilities are extended to allow multiple figures to follow arbitrary paths, with posture and movement determined by any combination of key-frames, …

Storage of and recovery from the motion aftereffect : evidence for a dual process involving fatigue and recalibration
… 3 examined the effect of the intervening visual environment on the long-term storage of the MAE. Finally, Experiments 4a and 4b investigated the time course of immediate and long-term MAEs which were induced in opposite directions to each other. All experiments yielded evidence of MAE …

Visual assessment and relational database management
Protection of the visual environment begins with a comprehensive documentation and evaluation of existing conditions followed by the development of guidelines pertaining to future alterations. This thesis examines existing methods of visual assessment and the needs of the land planner for the …

VRCodes : embedding unobtrusive data for new devices in visible light
… transceiver peripheral, and demonstrate this visual environment enables human participants to hear sound only from the location they are looking in, authenticate with proximal surfaces, and gather otherwise imperceptible data from an object in sight. We present a design methodology that …

The communication network simulator for Concordia parallel programming environment
Concordia Parallel Programming Environment (CPPE) is a visual environment that can simulate the execution of parallel programs. CPPE is composed of two parts, Concordia Parallel C Compiler (CPCC), which compiles a parallel program into machine code (vCode), and Concordia Parallel System Simulator …

Classroom Lighting
… the control of brightnesses of everything in the visual field. This new emphasis not only betters visibility, but it improves the whole visual environment which results in greater comfort, increased efficiency and improved morale.

Speech and gesture understanding in a homeostatic control framework for a robotic chandelier
… complex lighting scenes. The robot senses its visual environment using a panoramic camera and attempts to maintain its target goal state by adjusting the positions and intensities of its lights. Users can communicate desired changes in the lighting environment through speech and gesture (e.g., …

A study of Path and Light
… qualities within a space creates a variety of environments. People direct their attention to elements of the visual environment which provide information needed to carry out conscious and unconscious activities. These activities include movement along a path, introspection in the form of …

Spacecraft Orbit Design in the Circular Restricted Three-Body Problem Using Higher-Dimensional Poincaré Maps
… trajectories in a multi-body dynamical environment are investigated using four-dimensional Poincaré maps. Unlike the planar circular restricted three-body problem, where a two-dimensional map provides a simplified view of a portion of the vast and often chaotic design space, the spatial …

Architectural contextualism in the twentieth century, with particular reference to the architects E. Fay Jones and John Carl Warnecke
… its specific site or its broader physical or visual environment. This study posits the comprehensive definition of architectural contextualism on multiple levels: denotatively, connotatively, historically, philosophically, and in its aspects of critical regionalism. American architects adept …

Dance2Music : an exploration of music creation through dance in virtual reality
… the dancer moves. The user is immersed in an environment where they are free to express themselves, and the user's hand and head positions are tracked in real time. We develop a set of mappings from movement to musical responses that translates the user's movement expression to musical …

Flycatcher : fusion of gaze with hierarchical image segmentation for robust object detection
… first-person perspective images of the user's visual environment. The system combines the deliberate eyetraces of the user with hierarchical image segmentation applied to scene images to achieve reliable object segmentation. In evaluations with certain classes of real-world images, fusion of …

Perceptual organization and selective attention: Age-related effects
… performance has suggested that changes in visual selective attention are related to changes in driving performance with age. The research reported here seeks to complement past research by investigating age-related changes in facets of visual selection attention that have not been …

Learning to see : the early stages of perceptual organization
… how, over the course of development, the complex visual array comprising many regions of different colors and luminances is transformed into a sophisticated and meaningful constellation of objects. Gestaltists describe some of the rules that seem to govern a mature parsing of the visual scene, but …
