Three-dimensional spatial learning in a virtual space station node
… facing any of the viewing directions in 6-ported space station node modules. Our previous experiments tested the spatial memory of human subjects in 1-G in an analogous cubic virtual environment and showed that humans are able to learn to orient when instructed to imagine different body …

A Virtual Space Vectors based Model Predictive Control for Three-Level Converters
… research, a novel FCS-MPC method using virtual space vectors (VSVs), which do not affect the dc-link capacitor voltages of the 3-L VSCs, was proposed, implemented and validated. The proposed FCS-MPC strategy has the capability to achieve inherent balanced dc-link capacitor voltages. …

The gendered body in virtual space : sexuality, performance and play in four Second Life spaces
… four specific regions of the three-dimensional virtual world of ‘Second Life’ as case studies. The analysis follows a thematic application of discourse analysis as a basis for critiquing Western screen culture, most importantly the cultural and social conditions that replicate dominant paradigms …

Cyberspace as a memory container
Space is a container for memory. This metaphor is built upon the observation that the human mind can easily acquire spatial information without much deliberation. Moreover, non-spatial information can be better retrieved when associated with a spatial memory. The mnemonic function of space has been …

From physical to virtual : extending the gallery experience online
… of the ways in which interactive features in the virtual space can be developed to complement physical museum exhibitions, as well as create opportunities for museums to reach broader audiences. I provide a critical analysis of current online museum exhibition features and how they support museum …

Context-aware Personal Learning Environment
Research is now shifting away from Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) and towards the use of the Personal Learning Environment (PLE). A review of a number of PLE architectures are presented in the literature, and while they convey well the concept of a PLE, nevertheless they could best be …

Geolocation of Utility Assets Using Omnidirectional Ground-Based Photographic Imagery
… because the process takes place entirely in virtual space. Specifically, the system can locate assets with a precision comparable to typical GPS units used for similar purposes, and can readily identify utility assets, for example, transformers, if appropriate training data are provided. …

Building note-taking tools to support learning in virtual reality
With the advent of virtual reality (VR) technology, education and learning applications are able to leverage the fully immersive medium to create more hands-on, sophisticated, and engaging interactions. Alongside efforts to build virtual learning environments, note-taking can be reimagined in a …

Algorithmic architecture in virtual spaces
Much of the recent interest in virtual worlds has focused on using the immersive properties of virtual worlds to recreate an experience like that of interacting face to face with other participants. This thesis instead focuses on how we can use the distinctive properties of virtual spaces to create …

Smart Environment Based On Real-Time Human Position Tracking For Remote Presence And Collaboration
Real-time, virtual and mixed reality systems have diverse uses for real-world data visualization, representation, and remote collaboration in distant learning settings, especially in universities. Design of such systems involves challenges in mapping the real world data and physical world structure …

InReach : navigating and manipulating 3D models using natural body gestures in a remote collaboration setup
… and video representations of separate meeting spaces, but they do not support pointing towards and manipulating content in a shared digital space. InReach explores how remote collaborators can "reach into" a shared digital workspace where they can manipulate virtual objects and data. The …

A Generous Interface for the Discoverability of Text Collections
… of nearly 50,000 theses sourced from MIT’s DSpace collection: a “spatial search” where content is mapped onto a two-dimensional virtual space that enables users to search by “moving” rather than through queries. I then use an experiment to evaluate the interface against a traditional search …

O mundo digital: o homem e o computador, uma comunicação em desenvolvimento
… context, as a door to another dimension, another space – the cyberspace – where new contacts and new experiences can be made. Artists have therefore changed their way of relating to computers, inserting them into their lives, adopting them as one more extension on behalf of their work. In the …
