Current mixed reality XML RPC (Remote Procedure Call) interfaces and real-time data transfer enhance the experience of the hyper surface for the audience beyond any previous virtual media types, such as, hypertext, HTML, VRML, virtual reality, etc. Previous research in mixed reality and interactive workspaces that use the concept of a bridge for data transfer have largely inspired this research and I aim to continue the development of new knowledge in this field by critically applying cultural discourse in order to develop a theory regarding the impact of such systems on the notion of post biological identity.","PeriodicalId":231796,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Cyberworlds","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122151318","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The core of this algorithm is to generate an approximately minimal set of adaptive balls covering the whole surface by defining and minimizing local quadric error functions. First, the feature points are extracted by simple thresholding curvatures, Second, for the non-feature points, they are covered by distinct balls. The size of each ball varies and reflects how curved the local surface is. Once the size of radius is fixed, the points in each ball will be substituted by an optimized point. Thus, the simplified surface consists of extracted feature points and optimized points. we can employ this algorithm to produce coarse-to-fine models by controlling a general error level, and name it as ESimp for short. Worthy of note, the error level of each ball may be adaptively adjusted according to the local curvature and density of the center of this ball which can avoid holes generation. Finally, the simplified points are triangulated by Cocone algorithm. This algorithm has been applied to a set of large scanned models. Experimental results demonstrate that it can generate high-quality surface approximation with feature preservation.","PeriodicalId":231796,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Cyberworlds","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129318396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both scammers and scam baiters take advantage of the anonymity that Internet affords. By investigating their practices we can question the trust that is put into online representations. To understand the concept of scamming and scam baiting, the motives of scammers, victims and scam baiters are presented in this paper. Tran media storytelling can be very immersive and has successfully been adapted to fictional story worlds. Yet, what happens when Tran media concepts are adapted to documentation material and blended with fictional characters? With the help of an example -- the \"Re: Dakar Arts Festival\" -- we illustrate how a documented scam bait evolved into a transmedia story, unfolding over several media channels: an art installation, online on various social media platforms, a video trailer, as a card game and as a scam bait kit. This case study presents the challenges that emerge when both fiction and reality are blended into a transmedial narratology.","PeriodicalId":231796,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Cyberworlds","volume":"88 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131504900","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We consider the Incrementally Modular Abstraction Hierarchy (IMAH) to be appropriate for modeling the dynamically changing cyber worlds by descending from the most abstract homotopy level to the most specific view level, while preserving invariants. We have developed a data processing system called the Cellular Data System (CDS) based on IMAH. In this paper, we introduce into CDS the applied functions for calculating numerical values, and apply CDS to develop the core logic of an estimate system, used in most industries but costly due to its complexity, to verify its effectiveness.","PeriodicalId":231796,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Cyberworlds","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117156959","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Joiner, which joints pieces of woods and has complex process of jointing, is analyzed and modeled for visualization using homotopy theory and attaching maps. Joining the two pieces of woods changes their structures differently, which depends on jointing techniques. The paper describes difference between the tenon-mortise and lap joints in the fundamental group of homotopy. As the properties of the fundamental group are invariants, they are preserved through modeling from the abstract level to the specific one. When describing the process of jointing, two piece of woods are indirectly connected through a virtual attaching space using an attaching map, which avoids unnecessary consideration of piece relations. Using these concepts of homotopy, the process of jointing two pieces of woods are modeled from the abstract level in homotopy to the middle level of cellular structured spaces, to the specific one of physical presentation.","PeriodicalId":231796,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Cyberworlds","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121314839","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
