We have invented a high-performance GPU based volume rendering algorithm on the ubiquitous WebGL platform. As WebGL is emerging as a standard platform for web applications on mobile devices, a remarkable advantage of our approach is that the advanced volume rendering algorithms can run directly on mobile devices such as smart phones and tablets in which GPU is embedded, anywhere and anytime. Technically,...
Present a collection of slides covering the following topics: 3D R&D technology for the future voyage in Japan; Moore's law limitation and possible technology solutiuons; 3DIC (dream chip) application fields: healthcare and biology, futuristic robots, advanced consumer electronics, and laptop supercomputers; communication; ubiquitous computing, autopilot for cars; capsule for inspection by CCD...
During the last years mobile phones provide a ubiquitous platform; most of mobile phones have the ability to communicate over Bluetooth in ad hoc manner. It provides a great opportunity to develop m-learning applications. However, m-learning applications developed so far, usually see mobile phones as simple terminals, and they simply add it to old e-learning applications developed. The main challenge...
Mobile is becoming a ubiquitous platform for context-aware intelligent computing. One fundamental but usually ignored issue is how to efficiently manage (e.g., index and query) the mobile context data. To this end, we present a unified framework and have developed a toolkit, referred to as MQuery. More specifically, the mobile context data is represented in the standard RDF (Resource Description Framework)...
Interoperability among medical devices and compute engines in the personal environment of the patient, and with healthcare information systems in the remote monitoring and management process is a key need that requires developments supported on standard-based design. Even though there have been some international initiatives to combine different standards, the vision of an entire end-to-end standard-based...
There is a need to develop open sensors and middleware components that allow transparent integration and plug-and-play interoperability of Medical Devices (MDs) and Computer Engines (CEs). The use of standards seems to be the internationally adopted way to solve these problems and allow implementing ubiquitous solutions, including wearable devices, focused on the new paradigm of Personal Health (p-Health)...
This paper presents the iRobot corporation's Roomba vacuum as a low-cost resource for robotics research and education. Sensor and actuation models for unmodified Roombas are presented in the context of both special- and general-purpose spatial-reasoning algorithms, including Monte Carlo Localization and FastSLAM. Further tests probe the feasibility of sensor extensions to the platform. Results demonstrate...
Applications and services in ubiquitous environment are not static but are joined and separated dynamically. Hence dependency of applications and authentication of users to services are significant. Existing ubiquitous middleware are structured for applications to easily cope with dynamic contexts but do not authenticate users; leaving services exposed to security threats. This paper suggests platform...
