3D Avatars and Collaborative Virtual Environments

2008
With the exponential growth in desktop computing power and advancements in Web-based technologies over the past decade, the virtual community is now a reality. The latest derivative of the virtual community, made possible by 3D avatars, is called the collaborative virtual environment (CVE).

Business value of 3d virtual environments

ACM SIGGROUP Bulletin, 1998
As a large geographically distributed company, Boeing needs integrated technologies that support, even encourage, working together across distances. As a foundation for working together, employees need to become acquainted with one another, form communities around shared interests, develop relationships, build trust, and communicate ...

Sensor Representation in 3D Virtual Environments

Proceedings of the 2015 International Conference on Big Data Applications and Services, 2015
Various types of physical sensors are currently being used in the real world, and it is expected that the number of sensors and their types will increase with advancements in physical sensor technologies. Physical sensors integrate with 3D virtual worlds by way of information convergence technologies, including mixed and augmented reality.

Authoring Adaptive 3D Virtual Learning Environments

International Journal of Virtual and Personal Learning Environments, 2014
The use of 3D and Virtual Reality is gaining interest in the context of academic discussions on E-learning technologies. However, the use of 3D for learning environments also has drawbacks. One way to overcome these drawbacks is by having an adaptive learning environment, i.e., an environment that dynamically adapts to the learner and the activities ...

3D sound memory in virtual environments

2014 IEEE Symposium on 3D User Interfaces (3DUI), 2014
Virtual auditory environments (VAEs) are created by processing digital sounds such that they convey a 3D location to the listener. This technology has the potential to augment systems in which an operator tracks the positions of targets. Prior work has established that listeners can locate sounds in VAEs, however less is known concerning listener ...

Growing plants for virtual 3D environments

2009 6th International Conference on Electrical Engineering, Computing Science and Automatic Control (CCE), 2009
In a Virtual Environment, objects of various types may exist. Creating these objects and modeling their behaviour with a high degree of realism is of major interest. Static objects are usually simpler to model than dynamic ones, and perhaps, agents are the most common dynamic objects in a Virtual Environment.
