This paper describes an investigation of the memory span of Malaysian population for virtual environment design. Experiments were conducted where number, letters, word, and object or pictures were presented to test subjects. Nineteen University students, (6 males and 13 females) participated in the experiment. Their age is range from 17 to 30 years old. Subjects were asked to observe a group of numbers and letters for ten seconds as well as words for sixty seconds and objects or pictures for thirty second and to write down all the numbers, letters, words and pictures that they have seen during thirty seconds. The two tailed t test is conducted to test the difference of memory span between the male and female population. The result shows that there is no different between the capacity of visual short term memory Malaysian of the male and female population. The memory span was found to be in the range of 6 and 9 digits for numbers, 5 and 10 alphabets for letters, 5 and 11 strings for words, and 6 and 11 items for objects or pictures.","PeriodicalId":348792,"journal":{"name":"2010 16th International Conference on Virtual Systems and Multimedia","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115269528","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}

Although lifelog research has been conducted for a long time, practical applications such as a memory assistant system have not been fully developed yet. This is mainly due to the lack of methods to structurize the lifelog data efficiently. In our research, we developed a method for structuring a lifelog consisting of data from various sensors, focusing on event estimation with neural network. In an evaluation experiment, we captured lifelog data with a device that has various sensors, and then we estimated the events, i.e., the participantsf activities. As a result, the system correctly estimated events 70.4% of the time. We also created a lifelog viewer to visualized the data based on the result of event estimation.","PeriodicalId":348792,"journal":{"name":"2010 16th International Conference on Virtual Systems and Multimedia","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128245694","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}

Based on computer models of the buildings a number of common acoustical measures were calculated from the modeled impulse responses. These measures give an idea of the acoustical circumstances of the buildings that existed in the early period of concerts of western classical music in Japan. Furthermore, they allow a comparison of the development of a public concert life in Japan and Europe.","PeriodicalId":348792,"journal":{"name":"2010 16th International Conference on Virtual Systems and Multimedia","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124019141","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 story of a wedding that occurred in 1941 in Charles Church (Plymouth, UK) is presented on a wrap-around screen where the viewers are asked to make decisions about further developments of the narrative. The church was bombed in 1941 and was not rebuilt after the war. A virtual 3D reconstruction of this heritage site was undertaken and on the basis of this computer 3D model, a number of still and video panoramas were rendered inside the church. Video panoramas created using a spherical video camera were applied to the generation of the panoramic interactive narrative, the aim of which is to transport the viewers not only to the historic site, but enable them to interact with this heritage story. A 360° screen combined with an interactive device is a good solution for presenting non-linear panoramic narratives.","PeriodicalId":348792,"journal":{"name":"2010 16th International Conference on Virtual Systems and Multimedia","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126724769","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}

With the recent development of hardware technologies, the use of multiple cameras for vision algorithms has gained more attention because they are useful for conducting 3D reconstruction from the 2D scenes captured by camera sensors and solving occlusion in crowded environments. As cameras involved are increasing, shape modeling from multi-view sequences gains advantages in aspect of accuracy and coverage but not in performance. To build shape model in large spaces efficiently, we estimate three-dimensional occupancy of multiple moving objects for shape modeling by restricting the scanning space within the occupancy region.","PeriodicalId":348792,"journal":{"name":"2010 16th International Conference on Virtual Systems and Multimedia","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132958378","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 complete study of this historic building is based on a doctorate thesis, focused on the sedulous research of the monument itself. The presentation deals with new and very recently developed digital technologies, utilized in representing a virtual reality view of our cultural heritage. The 3d model projection, realized through brand new audiovisual systems, will soon permit the expansion of 3d virtual restoration and hyper-realistic “touch” of a virtual space, in many applications, while the most interesting of them, is the cultural heritage. The presentation - through web cam projection - of this paper, intents to show the successful results of using high technologies in the field of restoration but also in the creation as a virtual reality of the original form and function of a historic monument. The application of the new method proposed, applied in Alaca Imaret Câmi, which is used as a case study monument, becomes more interesting, when the monument itself, acts as a unique witness of a historic past or represents another culture, completely different from the context of the modern city. This is a complicated problem that becomes obvious in the way of materializing a restoration study and also in a project of revival of the initial use of a monument. While using the 3d application, the visitor can learn all about the history of a monument, through an interactive experience. Thit gives him the opportunity to learn in a more detailed way the history of the monument, as no other way or no other method could succeed it. At the same time, the whole project is reversible and ready to amplify the new archive information or audiovisual material. As a case study for these 3d model digital applications, is chosen the mosque of Alaca Imaret Câmi - an almost abandoned monument, situated in the historic center of the city of Thessaloniki - not only because of its unique architecture and religious use but mostly because of its great importance in the history of the city.","PeriodicalId":348792,"journal":{"name":"2010 16th International Conference on Virtual Systems and Multimedia","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124386173","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}
