Touring machines
In considering what to ask Lewis Wolpert’s good fairy godmother of science [1], I am reminded of John von Neumann, a pioneer of computer science. In 1946 he wrote to Norbert Wiener, the father of cybernetics, bemoaning the fact that Turing, Pitts and McCulloch had shown that anything the brain can do can be mimicked by a universal neural mechanism — a Turing machine [2]. Inverting the argument,...
متن کاملTouring Machines: Guide Agents for Sharing Stories about Digi
Human understanding of the physical world frequently derives from the narratives we construct about it. Analogously, we can incorporate narratives in virtual spaces to give visitors a sense of place and purpose. In this paper we describe two projects using interactive characters as a medium for story building and storytelling within and about the digital places they inhabit.

متن کاملTouring the Calculus Gallery
1. INTRODUCTION. The premise of this article—what our friends in theatre would call its " conceit " —is that we are about to visit a gallery devoted to the history of calculus. Admittedly no such institution exists, but it is easily imagined. One need only think of an art museum, albeit one whose masterpieces are not canvases but theorems and whose masters are not Courbet and Cezanne but Leibni...
متن کاملTouring Convex Bodies - A Conic Programming Solution
We study the problem of finding a shortest tour visiting a given sequence of convex bodies in R. To our knowledge, this is the first attempt to attack the problem in its full generality: we investigate high-dimensional cases (d ≥ 2); we consider convex bodies bounded by (hyper)planes and/or (hyper)spheres; we do not restrict the start and the goal positions of the tour to be single points, we m...
