Computation Lithography: Virtual Reality and Virtual Virtuality [PDF]
Computation lithography is enabled by a combination of physical understanding, mathematical abstraction, and implementation simplification. An application in the virtual world of computation lithography can be a virtual reality or a virtual virtuality depending on its engineering sensible-ness and technical feasibility.

Virtuality and Virtualization [PDF]
In today’s rapidly changing global work environment, all workers directly experience increased organizational complexity. Companies are functionally distributed, many across the globe. Intense competition for markets and margins makes adaptiveness and innovation imperative.

Is the virtual of virtual technologies the Deleuzian virtual?
Gilles Deleuze has become a key reference for the recent debate on virtual technologies, as his conception of the virtual is widely used to argue for the reality of virtuality. Nonetheless some scholars, among which Slavoj Žižek stands out, have warned about the risks of flattening the Deleuzian concept on the tech debate.

This paper reports from a longitudinal study of a Swedish manufacturer in the automotive industry, where a series of studies have explored the potential and limitations of computer-based training of assembly operators. The study is focusing on two supplementing sets of target variables â?? operatorsâ?? attitudes and the quality output from operators in

According to recent theorizing in social psychology, social behavior is controlled not only by reflective, but also by impulsive systems. The latter are based on associative links that may influence behavior without intent. The current study examined how prejudiced implicit associations affect physiological and automatic behavioral responses.

Virtual asteroids and virtual impactors [PDF]
When a celestial body, e.g., an asteroid, has been observed only over a short time, its orbit is not well determined but may be anywhere in a confidence region where the astrometric residuals are acceptable. This region can be sampled by a swarm of Virtual Asteroids (VA) sharing the reality of the asteroid: one of them is real, but we do not know which

This project associates multi-camera 3D modeling, physical simulation, and tracked head-mounted displays for a strong full-body immersion and presence in virtual worlds. Three-dimensional modeling is based on the EPHV algorithm, which provides an exact geometrical surface according to input data. The geometry enables computation of full-body collisions

Virtual Laboratories and Virtual Worlds [PDF]
AbstractSince we cannot put stars in a laboratory, astrophysicists had to wait till the invention of computers before becoming laboratory scientists. For half a century now, we have been conducting experiments in our virtual laboratories. However, we ourselves have remained behind the keyboard, with the screen of the monitor separating us from the ...

Virtual Actuators with Virtual Sensors [PDF]
The virtual actuator approach to bond graph based control is extended to use virtual sensor inputs; this allows relative degree conditions on the controller to be relaxed. Furthermore, the effect of the transfer system can be eliminated from the closed-loop system. Illustrative examples are given.

Virtual Goods Recommendations in Virtual Worlds [PDF]
Virtual worlds (VWs) are computer‐simulated environments which allow users to create their own virtual character as an avatar. With the rapidly growing user volume in VWs, platform providers launch virtual goods in haste and stampede users to increase sales revenue.
