The virtual showcase

ACM SIGGRAPH 2005 Courses on - SIGGRAPH '05, 2001
Intuitive access to information in habitual real-world environments is a challenge for information technology. An important question is how can we enhance established and well-functioning everyday environments rather than replace them by virtual environments (VEs)?

The Virtuality of Constraints and the Constraints of Virtuality

Constraints, 1996
We propose to extend current Constraint Logic Programming techniques and to export them from their classical Logic Programming setting to more conventional and widely used paradigms, such as the Java language. We also advocate for the use of constraints in new types of applications such as 3D graphics and Virtual Reality systems.

Virtual communities - a virtual session on virtual conferences

Behaviour & Information Technology, 2002
Virtual communities supported by computers and communication facilities have existed for about two decades. Virtual meetings around the world became technically feasible once there was a sufficient number of satellites to relay data communication, and became commonplace at companies that could afford computer-mediated communication (CMC).

The Virtual Cell [PDF]

open access: possibleBiocomputing '99, 1998
This paper describes a computational framework for cell biological modeling and simulation that is based on the mapping of experimental biochemical and electrophysiological data onto experimental images. The framework is designed to enable the construction of complex general models that encompass the general class of problems coupling reaction and ...

The virtual cathedral and the virtual bazaar

ACM SIGMIS Database: the DATABASE for Advances in Information Systems, 2007
Applying economic analysis, we explore the potential benefits and risks associated with firm-based and social production models and derive conditions that determine when open or closed innovation models are more appropriate. We contrast the newly emerging "user-generated approach" to innovation in virtual worlds with the traditional "producer ...

Virtual Symposium on Virtual Mind

Minds and Machines, 1992
When certain formal symbol systems (e.g., computer programs) are implemented as dynamic physical symbol systems (e.g., when they are run on a computer) their activity can be interpreted at higher levels (e.g., binary code can be interpreted as LISP, LISP code can be interpreted as English, and English can be interpreted as a meaninguful conversation ...

Aughanded Virtuality - the hands in the virtual environment

2015 IEEE Symposium on 3D User Interfaces (3DUI), 2015
The leading motive of this poster is the utilization of the Augmented Virtuality technology and in particular the egocentric representation of real body parts in virtual and immersive environments. In this context, a prototypical application was developed, which superimposes the current view of the user's hands on the virtual scene in real-time.

Virtual physics for virtual reality

Proceedings Theory and Practice of Computer Graphics, 2004., 2004
We consider the problem of giving virtual reality objects physical behaviour. We wish to do this in a way, which allows users to construct new objects from simpler ones and have the correct composite behaviour emerge. Our approach uses a graph structure to model, dynamically, the way one object can influence another.

Virtual instrumentation and virtual environments

IEEE Instrumentation & Measurement Magazine, 1999
Instrumentation, interaction and virtual environments provide a challenging triplet for the next generation of instrumentation and measurement tools. As such, they are the logical continuation of an increasingly important component within (virtual) instrumentation. Despite these changes, however, the measurement paradigm remains unaltered. To make this

The Virtual Virtual Machine Project

Anais do XII International Symposium on Computer Architecture and High Performance Computing (SBAC-PAD 2000), 2000
This paper presents the invited talk at the "Simposio Brasileiro de Arquitetura de Computadores e Processamento de Alto Desempenho (SBAC'2000)": the Virtual Virtual Machine approach for highly configurable operating systems. This is a joint work with action SOR – INRIA Rocquencourt.
