True Motion in Relative Displays

Convergence – true or relative ?

Encoding apparent motion in animated mimic displays.

Animated mimic displays represent system components, the physical connections between components, and the analogical flow of information or resources. These displays have the potential to improve the effectiveness of both training and real-time performance. One animation technique that is particularly efficient (from a computational perspective) is color table animation, which produces a subjec...

Effects Analysis of Frozen Conditions for Spacecraft Relative Motion Dynamics

The purpose of this rersearch is to analyze the effective application of particular earth orbits in dynamical modeling of relative motion problem between two spacecraft. One challenge in implementing these motions is maintaining the relations as it experiences orbital perturbations (zonal harmonics J2 and J3), most notably due to the Earth’s oblateness. Certain aspects of the orbital geometry c...

True multi-touch displays: what, how and why

The characteristic feature of a true multi-touch display is the handling of a large number of interaction points. In this short discussion, we describe how these displays work, why they are ideally suited for large multi-user systems and what kinds of new user-experience they

Global versus Structured Interpretation of Motion: Moving Light Displays Global versus Structured Interpretation of Motion: Moving Light Displays Summary Global versus Structured Interpretation of Motion: Moving Light Displays

Moving light displays (MLDs) have been used extensively to study motion perception and perception of the human gait in particular. MLD perception is largely considered to be structural, i.e., perception depends on identiication of human kinematic structure. However, recent work by Little and Boyd has shown that it is possible to recognize individual people, from their gaits, by non-structural m...
