construction and validation of the translation teacher competency test and the scale of students’ perceptions of translation teachers

the major purpose of this study was to develop the translation teacher competency test (ttct) and examine its construct and predictive validity. the present study was conducted in two phases: a qualitative phase as well as a quantitative phase. in the first phase of the study, the author attempted to find out the major areas of competency required for an academic translation teacher. the second...

Augmented Reality Techniques in Games

As a consequence of technical difficulties such as unreliable tracking, many AR applications get stuck in the "how to implement" phase rather than progressing to the "what to show" phase driven by information visualization needs rather than basic technology. In contrast, most of today's computer games are set in a fairly realistic 3D environment, and unlike many AR applications, game interfaces...

Motion in Augmented Reality Games: An Engine for Creating Plausible Physical Interactions in Augmented Reality Games

The next generation of Augmented Reality (AR) games will require real and virtual objects to coexist in motion in immersive game environments. This will require the illusion that real and virtual objects interact physically together in a plausible way. The Motion in Augmented Reality Games (MARG) engine described in this paper has been developed to allow these kinds of game environments. The pa...

Augmented Reality: a Review

Augmented Reality (AR) is a new technology that involves the overlay of computer graphics on the real world. It is a live view of a physical, real world whose elements are augmented by computer generated sensory input i.e. sound, video, graphics or GPS data. AR is within a more general context termed Mixed Reality (MR) that refers to a multi-axis range of areas that covers Virtual Reality (VR),...
