In two experiments, we investigated the stabilizing influence of vision on human upright posture in real and virtual environments. Visual stabilization was assessed by comparing eyes-open with eyes-closed conditions while subjects attempted to maintain balance in the presence of a stable visual scene. Visual stabilization in the virtual display w as reduced, as compared wit hreal-world viewing....

The rich interaction capabilities of public terminals can make them more convenient to use than small personal devices, such as smart phones. However, the use of public terminals to handle personal data may compromise privacy. We present a system that enables users to access their applications and data securely using a combination of public terminals and a more trusted, personal device. Our sys...

We consider the mobile service scenario where video programming is broadcast to low-resolution wireless terminals. In such a scenario, broadcasters utilize simultaneous data services and bi-directional communications capabilities of the terminals in order to offer substantially enriched viewing experiences to users by allowing user participation and user tuned content. While users immediately b...

Ontogenetic development of ocularity domains-stripes, patches and layers in cortex, colliculus superior and lateral geniculate nucleus-is the result of organization that may either be intrinsic to the postsynaptic structure or induced to it by the aaerents. A speciic type of axonal growth behaviour that was recently proposed as a basis for ontogenetic development of retinotopy is suucient to ac...

The selection of a computer visual display system suitable for word recognition and reading research is described. The software character generation routines permit flexible definition of character sets. The display software permits control of size scaling and point density of characters being displayed as well as control over the temporal microstructure of presenting and refreshing the display...

A total of 85 VDU operators, in three main Scandinavian Alcatel-Lucent headquarters, were followed in a process moving from single occupancy offices to an office landscape. This paper discusses the visual challenges and implications in such a transfer. In the oral presentation recommendation on how to avoid visual problems will be given.

Fishing boat laws in Korea require fishing boats to be equipped with a location transmitter. Approximately 91% of registered have V-pass terminals, whereas those gross tonnage 10 t or more either automatic identification system (AIS) terminals (or use both). Most navigators, including the transmitter, rely on satellite signals provided by global navigation (GNSS) without considering accuracy in...
