In this demonstration we present Mimesis, a virtual environment with interactive stereoscopic real time graphics and interactive sound that works as a visual and musical instrument. We have developed two display systems, a spatialized sound system and a passive horizontal stereoscopic visual system, that help users create visuals and music. Both systems work together increasing the sense of imm...

Sample efficiency is crucial for imitation learning methods to be applicable in real-world applications. Many studies improve sample by extending adversarial off-policy regardless of the fact that these extensions could either change original objective or involve complicated optimization. We revisit foundation and propose an efficient approach requires no training min-max Our formulation capita...

The article analyses the history of the Einfühlung concept. Theories of ‘feeling into’ Nature, works of art or feelings and behaviours of other persons by German philosophers of the second half of the nineteenth century Robert and Friedrich Vischer and Theodor Lipps are evoked, as well as a similar theory of understanding (Verstehen) by Wilhelm Dilthey and Friedrich Schleiermacher, to which Dil...

A near-perfect mimetic association between a mecopteran insect species and a ginkgoalean plant species from the late Middle Jurassic of northeastern China recently has been discovered. The association stems from a case of mixed identity between a particular plant and an insect in the laboratory and the field. This confusion is explained as a case of leaf mimesis, wherein the appearance of the m...

Aristoteles, müstakil olarak sanata dair yazdığı tek eseri olan Poetika’da sanatın bütünüyle mimesis olduğunu ifade etmiştir. Bu nedenle kavramı Aristoteles’in sanat felsefesinin temel kavramıdır. Mimesis, kelime anlamının çağrıştırdığının aksine taklit ya da tasvirden ibaret değildir. Aristotelesçi sistemde mimesis, yaratmayla alakalı bir kavramdır ve doğanın yarım bıraktığını tamamlama anlamı...

The relation between games and simulations can be profitably investigated by combining ontological tools and recent neurological findings. Neurology shows that simulations are connected to fiction or to reality by a suspension of disbelief or alternatively a suspension of belief, and ontological categories of Mimesis (simulation of an event or an object) and Catharsis (simulation of the experie...

This study contributes to the literature on Corporate Social and Environmental Disclosure (CSED hereafter) in the developing countries by exploring various influential factors for CSED and grouping them into three categories: normative, interest, and company groups (Solomon and Lewis 2002). These categories can create normative, coercive, and mimetic pressure respectively for a company to adapt...
