Virtual maps technology is one of many innovations of the past decade. Currently navigation with such maps is generally performed using keyboard and mouse inputs. For improved human social communication, there is a need for more effective and unobtrusive navigation methods. In this paper, we adopt a human-centric approach to reinvent the way in which users interact with virtual maps. The proposed...

Thew expression on information content mustin the form of understanding and acception based on the knowledge and experience of the recipients. The content of location information...
Creating realistic populated virtual environments is a challenge that many graphics and VR researchers are currently tackling. There are many interesting problems to solve, such as rendering and animating large and varied crowds efficiently and realistically in believable surroundings, and creating plausible behaviours and sounds for the individual inhabitants and their environment. This is the challenge...
Anchored Instruction is one of the main forms of online teaching, but lots of problems exist in Anchored Instruction based on network widely, such as the lack of participa, attributive and so on. The application of Web3D technology, which can create a vivid image of interesting information for students in realistic environment, not only stimulates students' interest in learning and internal motivation,...
This study proposes a VR-based tool, named ldquovirtual city,rdquo to evaluate wayfinding abilities that are reported to decline with some cognition dysfunctions, such as dementia. This platform was designed according to cognition theories and took advantage of convenience of real-time recording by using VR techniques to make the evaluations less subjective and more accurate. Our previous study has...
