Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations can provide meaningful technical content in engineering education, broad and business. However, computationally demanding data production complex processing environments of CFD turn them into esoteric tools for potential non-expert users. This consequently limits applications communications results. Augmented virtual reality (AR/VR) technologies ar...

Augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) technologies are regularly used in psychology research to complement psychological interventions enable an individual feel as if they environment other than that of their immediate surroundings. A scoping review was performed identify how AR/VR being with older adult populations impact physical mental health. The also sought determine whether the terminolog...

Background: The visualization of civil infrastructure systems and processes is critical for the validation and communication of computer generated models to decision-makers. Augmented Reality (AR) visualization blends real-world information with graphical 3D models to create informative composite views that are difficult to create or replicate on the computer alone. Methods: This paper presents...

Immersive authoring refers to the style of programming or developing content from within the targetexecutable environment. Immersive authoring is important for fields such as augmented reality (AR) in which interaction usability and user perception of the target content must be checked first hand, in situ. In addition, the interaction efficiency and usability of the authoring tools itself is eq...

Introduction Augmented Reality (AR) enriches a user’s real environment by adding spatially aligned virtual objects (3D models, 2D textures, textual annotations, etc) by means of special display technologies. These are either worn on the body or placed in the working environment. From a technical point of view, AR faces three major challenges: (1) to generate a high quality rendering, (2) to pre...

Augmented Reality (AR) simulations superimpose a virtual overlay of data and interactions onto a real-world context. The simulation engine at the heart of this technology is built to afford elements of game play that support explorations and learning in students' natural context--their own community and surroundings. In one of the more recent games, TimeLab 2100, players role-play citizens of t...

Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed (MR) have been two of the most explosive research topics in last few years. Head-Mounted Devices (HMDs) are essential intermediums for using AR MR technology, playing an important role progress these areas. Behavioral with users is one way evaluating technical effectiveness HMDs. In addition, technology dependent upon virtual interactions real environment. Thus,...

An inversion procedure is used to obtain from the extended principle of corresponding - states the pair interaction potentials for argon, krypton and its mixture over a tetnperature range from absolute zero to the onset of ionization. The experimentally-reduced viscosity collision integrals obtained from the corresponding - states correlation have been inverted directly to give the reduced...
