One of the challenges to promoting computer science in schools is to create and retain interest in programming. We describe a pilot project for primary and secondary students in Macau to introduce .NET Gadgeteer, a rapid prototyping platform for building electronic devices. The aim of the yearlong project was to generate interest in building devices, while learning the basics of programming concepts...
In 3D computer graphics, it has been an important issue to describe a virtual object realistically and show it in a physically correct manner. Unlike the virtual reality(VR), the augmented reality (AR) is an environment containing virtual and real objects simultaneously. However, the difference in motion between the virtual and real objects is obvious, which makes it hard for AR to be realistic and...
This paper presents an architecture to support fast prototyping of augmented reality systems, based on virtual reality. The architecture defines simulation services separated from other aspects of the system. These services support incremental evolution of simulated prototypes into nonsimulated systems. Focus is also placed on user interaction,through the definition of an interaction architecture...
Digitizing large-surface paintings at a high resolution in museums is necessary in the field of painting conservation to document the actual condition of paintings (e.g. colour measurements) and for analysis (e.g. to analyse underdrawings in high-resolution infrared images). Hence, this paper presents a portable system that is able to scan large-surface paintings or images to provide high-resolution...
