Universities and educational institutions are currently becoming more dependent on delivering courses within online virtual worlds, such as 3D Virtual Learning Environments (3D VLES). There is insufficient research on how environmental and architectural design elements of 3D virtual educational spaces and buildings inside these virtual worlds can affect the e-learning process of the students an...

The contemporary way of life influences the forms and time framework outdoor activities in open public spaces, shifting their focus to nighttime usage. aim this study is demonstrate limits existing lighting design standards recommendations terms livability. As an exploratory case study, Sava waterfront New Belgrade, Serbia was chosen. methodology consisted theoretical research specific analysis...

Large interactive displays are becoming increasingly prevalent in urban public life. This is due largely to rapid advances in display and projection technologies, input methods that enable different types of interaction mechanisms, and our expanding understanding of the potential for interaction variations and scenarios. Large displays have moved out of research laboratories into public spaces ...

The objective of the ELENA project is to demonstrate the feasibility of smart spaces for learning. Smart learning spaces are defined as educational service mediators, which allow the consumption of heterogeneous learning services via assessment tools, learning management systems, educational (meta) repositories and live delivery systems such as video conferencing systems or iTV (see Figure 1). ...

State-of-the-Art feedback control of lighting depends on point sensor measurements for light field generation. However, since the occupant’s perception depends on the entire light field in the room instead of the illumination at a limited set of points, the performance of these lighting control systems may be unsatisfactory. Therefore, it is critical to reconstruct the light field in the room f...

Abstract Curved spaces are very un-intuitive to our eyes trained on Euclidean geometry. Games provide an interesting way explore these strange worlds. written with the help of modeling tools and game engines based This paper addresses problem adapting 3D rules curved spaces. We consider conversion objects, geometric calculations, transformation pipeline, lighting physical simulation. Finally, w...

We address the problem of robust non rigid image registration and focus our interest on similarity criteria based on generalized information measures within the Ali-Silvey class. We introduce exclusive -information as a novel class of similarity functionals, and develop a generic variational framework for their optimization over non-parametric and parametric transform spaces. This approach is a...
