Chilldren/adults with severe burn wounds often endure uncontrolled pain during wound care. Bandages are changed, and wounds cleaned frequently to prevent infection. Physical therapy skin stretching exercises can also be painful. Immersive virtual reality is proving valuable as an adjunctive non-pharmacologic analgesic. Patients “go into” the computer generated world to escape their pain. Result...

Abstract The realm of alternate reality games is young, cutting-edge, with forms as varied and divergent as the evolving technologies that birth them. One of the distinguishing characteristics of augmented reality as a technology is the ability to register virtual obje...

To support learning physical task, we have developed a system showing a CG virtual teacher in the real world by mixed reality technology. Most of existing physical task learning support systems do not show instructions in the real world. They do not instruct interactively in real time, either. The proposed system achieves these. Initial experiment of the effect of the location of the virtual te...

The traditional methods of registering crime scene, such as photographs, sketches, videos and oral descriptions, etc., are lowly efficient and couldn’t meet the requirement. In this paper, a new method for crime scene reconstruction which combines the virtual reality techniques with efficient interaction is hereby proposed. The new techniques, such as close-range photogrammetry, panorama photog...

We give new sufficient conditions for a sequence of polynomials to have only real zeros based on the method of interlacing zeros. As applications we derive several well-known facts, including the reality of zeros of orthogonal polynomials, matching polynomials, Narayana polynomials and Eulerian polynomials. We also settle certain conjectures of Stahl on genus polynomials by proving them for cer...
