This paper presents a new approach for controlling mouse movement using a real-time camera. Most existing approaches involve changing mouse parts such as adding more buttons or changing the position of the tracking ball. Instead, we propose to change the hardware design. Our method is to use a camera and computer vision technology, such as image segmentation and gesture recognition, to control ...

In a first-order reversed-phi motion stimulus (Anstis, 1970), the black-white contrast of successive frames is reversed, and the direction of apparent motion may, under some conditions, appear to be reversed. It is demonstrated here that, for many classes of stimuli, this reversal is a mathematical property of the stimuli themselves, and the real problem is in perceiving forward motion, which i...

This paper addresses four questions concerning control of attention: how to direct attention to novel or ‘interesting’ events in the world, how to separate novel or interesting information from everything else, how to perform this segmentation of the world at multiple levels, how to develop perceptual machinery capable of this. To all four questions we provide answers arising from work in our W...

Take a look around you. How would you describe your surroundings to best give an idea of what everything looks like to someone not there? Maybe you will give a category to the scene, say, ‘bedroom’. You might try to list some of the objects around you, like ‘bed’, ‘lamp’, and ‘desk’. Or perhaps you’ll describe it with adjectives like ‘indoors’, ‘cozy’, and ‘cluttered’. In computer vision, (or m...

In undergoing this life, many people always try to do and get the best. New knowledge, experience, lesson, and everything that can improve the life will be done. However, many people sometimes feel confused to get those things. Feeling the limited of experience and sources to be better is one of the lacks to own. However, there is a very simple thing that can be done. This is what your teacher ...

It will be shown that the umbrella term “nanotechnology” reveals the endeavor of recent engineering sciences and science-based technologies to find a fundamental technology, in other words: a root or core technology. This is linked to the leading and exciting vision of a specific kind of reductionism, namely technological reductionism, which has not yet been perceived by the philosophy of scien...

There are two schools of thoughts on the important issue of reforming state-owned enterprises (SOEs). We call them the ownership school and the management school. The ownership school argues that the key to the reform is to diversify SOEs’ ownership, including privatization, in order to eliminate government control of SOEs. The management school emphasizes the need to improve government’s manag...
