چکیده

We introduce the SmartMesh, a novel type of active structure capable of deforming actively its shape and thus being able to form objects. It is a new approach to find a solution to the difficulties that are encountered in the field of haptic interaction in virtual environments. The SmartMesh creates in real time the virtual objects as seen through head mounted displays at the according position in space. Thus, the virtual objects are not virtual anymore. The SmartMesh can be embedded into a table, into walls, ceilings and floors. The SmartMesh is actuated by a large number of linear actuators and its resolution depends on the amount of nodes and the length of the actuators.

Morphing the SmartMesh: Proposing a Novel Control Architecture

In this paper we propose a novel control algorithm for the SmartMesh [1] based on clothes simulation modelled with masses and springs. The SmartMesh is modelled as a tissue or as a blanket, which is attracted by the object that has to be represented, enveloping it. Applying the sampled data (the lengths of the springs) to the actuators of the SmartMesh will result in a deformation of the struct...

Systematic integrated approach to quantifying preventive diagnostics in a “smart” transport system

One of the main tasks facing all European countries for the next few years is the creation of the most dynamically organized transport sector. The constant passenger and freight traffic lead to congestions and pollutions at the transport highways, having negative impact on a person. Thus, introduction of new technologies, addressing the interrelated problems of optimizing transport flows and im...

A New Implementation of Frequency Selective Surface Cloak for Cylindrical Structures

The main purpose of this paper is to design, implement and measure a new sample of mantle cloak. A new method called mantle cloak is introduced by cloaking an object by a single, conformal meta-surface which can drastically suppress the scattering of the desired object. In this paper, a grid lattice is placed around a dielectric object as the cloaking structure. Previously, this FSS has been ut...

Space as a Semiotic Object: A Three-Dimensional Model of Vertical Structure of Space in Calvino’s Invisible Cities

Following the “spatial turn” of the last 3 decades in humanities and social sciences and the structure of semiotic object, this research studies space as the main semiotic object of Calvino’s (1972) Invisible Cities. Significance of this application resides in examining the possibility of providing a more concrete methodology based on the integration of Zoran’s (1984) 3 vertical levels of const...
