In this paper, we propose a widget-based simulator for testing smart space by using virtual space. It is especially useful within this simulation field, because virtual space alleviates limited constraints such as time, space, technique, and cost. Researchers within this ubiquitous computing field use virtual space to simulate entities such as sensors, actuators, and services. Previous works fo...

The goal of our work is the design and implementation of a virtual agents based interactive simulation for teaching and training health care workers in the proper procedures for hand hygiene. The health care trainee in the simulation plays the role of a health care inspector in a virtual hospital that resembles a real hospital. The interactive training simulation features a virtual instructor w...

Characteristics of heave compensation systems used on a marine drilling platform or drill-ship are analyzed. An active heave compensation system with two lift cylinders is proposed by COMRA (China Ocean Mineral Resources & Association), which will be used in 1000-m depth ocean poly-metallic nodule pilot mining system. A corresponding virtual prototype of this system is developed. The parametric...

This study takes a chemical fiber factory’s spinning production line as the prototype to realize a threedimensional virtual simulation system. Geometric threedimensional models are constructed by exploiting the imagebased three dimension reconstruction technology, in which Harris algorithm is utilized to detect corners of the modeling objects. 3DSMAX is used to give each model a highly imitativ...

The artificial intelligence simulation with virtual humans in virtual environment is considered as a research focus after movement simulation in field of artificial intelligence and simulation with virtual human include affective model and influence of affection to movement planning of virtual human. It’s necessary to review on virtual human’s affective model and related applied algorithm. A* a...
