In this demonstration we present Mimesis, a virtual environment with interactive stereoscopic real time graphics and interactive sound that works as a visual and musical instrument. We have developed two display systems, a spatialized sound system and a passive horizontal stereoscopic visual system, that help users create visuals and music. Both systems work together increasing the sense of imm...

Generation and real-time rendering of terrain is a complex and multifaceted problem. Besides the obvious trade-offs between performance and quality, many different generation and rendering solutions exist. Different choices in implementation will result in very different visuals, usability and tools for generation. In this thesis, a fast and intuitive terrain generation method based on sketchin...

This paper describes Strike on Stage, an interface and corresponding audio-visual performance work developed and performed in 2010 by percussionists and media artists ChiHsia Lai and Charles Martin. The concept of Strike on Stage is to integrate computer visuals and sound into an improvised percussion performance. A large projection surface is positioned directly behind the performers, while a ...

Museums and galleries have in recent years spent considerable time and effort in digitisation projects, yet the software resources available to fully explore their collections are still largely unsatisfactory. In a joint project between the new media company Deep Visuals, the Scott Polar Research Institute, and Anglia Ruskin University we are developing a new browsing system aimed at enabling m...

in this article, the writer, exploring the most important theories of psychologists, anthropologists and sociologists about the origin of religion and roots of religiosity, tries to show that there is no ultimate agreement and explanation about these questions and that the currently working theories are suffering from grave theoretical and/or empirical shortcomings. the writer, however, argues ...

Making a herbarium is one of the science supports used to introduce flora diversity. This not only in field taxonomy, but several artists have as work art. Various types plant are basic concepts creating works art, which diversity essential plants. paper discusses an art creation inspired by plants cultivated Indonesia, i.e. marigold specieses, namely Tagetes Erecta L.. The visualization Marigo...

Graphic visuals derived from reverse engineered source code have long been recognized for their impact on improving the comprehensibility of structural and behavioral aspects of large software systems and their source code. A number of visualization techniques, primarily graph-based, do not scale. Some other proposed techniques based on 3D metaphors tend to obscure important structural relation...

The design of information retrieval (IR) systems must respond to the goals, intentionality and prior domain knowledge of the users. During focus groups conducted, end users complained that instead of looking for specificitems, they might be interested in a spectrum of concepts – all things related to something or all things of a particular color. To respond to these needs, an entirely visuals-d...
