Visual pollution, observed in urban areas, makes human beings suffer indirectly from mental distress and illnesses in long term. We are daily confronted with a variety of advertisement pictures in city squares and review them in our minds. But we may not be aware of the fact that such a visual scramble leads to mind distraction, decreasing mental concentration. The present study applies the tec...

In the visual languages community there has been a growing consensus that visual languages will be most successful in the case of special purpose languages. Furthermore, their success will largely depend on the programming environment which is provided for them. Programming environment generators, generate programming environments for formally speciied languages. This paper discusses speciicati...

Here we present some results obtained in Shapes, an evolutionary environment applied to artistic production in visual domain. In Shapes environment the user can interactively create and evolve visual compositions by using random variations of pre-programmed objects. Pixels of these compositions can be used in another evolutionary environment, ArTVox, to direct a sound sequence creating, in this...

The presented paper contains results of pilot study in the area of human computer interaction. The proposed design is based on a subject's stay of several days in purely symbolic (text) visual environment and subsequent analysis of one ́s change in production and perception of visual mental images. The recordings were anylesed to identify the differences between the stay in normal visual and tex...

One of the main claims of the active vision framework is that finding data on the basis of task requirements is more efficient than reconstructing the whole scene by performing a complete visual scan. To be successful, this approach requires that agents learn visual routines to direct overt attention to locations with the information needed to accomplish the task. In ecological conditions, lear...
