Solar panels have been improving in efficiency and dropping in price, and are therefore becoming more common and economically viable. However, the performance of solar panels depends not only on the weather, but also on other external factors such as shadow, dirt, dust, etc. In this paper, we describe a simple and practical data-driven method for classifying anomalies in the power output of sol...

This paper proposes real-time interactive systems illuminating your shadows cast on the floor, which we name “Graphic Shadow.” They will make you experience an exciting space of interaction performing an illusion on your own shadow.

Though IT usage has been identified as a significant construct, significant gaps remain in our understanding of how IT is used by different organizational members. In this paper, we examine the key organizational, external environmental, and IT-related factors that influence IT usage in organizations across management and non-management levels. Based on data from over 500 functional managers, w...

Scientific visualization presents data or real-world objects in 3D to visually verify and observe results. It has been used in everything from car manufacture to seismic analysis. The 3D models used frequently have far too much detail to be rendered at acceptable frame-rates on current computers, and while the speed of graphics hardware continually increases, so does the resolution of stored da...
