For the mobile platform, the generation of a user interface which has a stunning visual impact and a good experience is a hard work, because it requires at least two aspects: the content generation with three-dimensional condition and the complex logic editor. In this paper, an integrated development framework is proposed, which contains a graphics rendering engine, and several visual toolkits for...
In pharmacology, one of the problems found in teaching is precisely the existing abstract concepts, because it has chemistry as a requirement for your understanding. Due to these abstract concepts, students try to end difficult to visualize and understand these concepts. To try to reduce the degree of abstraction, was started to use computational tools for teaching and learning. This paper presents...
This article presents the first results of the work carried out by the research group of UESiglo21 from Córdoba, Argentina. The research does focus on the attention as a cognitive process linked with learning tools using a software platform of a course of the university. The methodological design used is mixed, called DexPlis of quantitative and qualitative phase. Preliminary results showed a different...
The purpose of this study is to research the thoughts transmitted from five senses experience and to communicate from this computer supported collaborative work. The research structure is based on a virtual production as the research subject. We will analyze the visual production examples that are able to provide new thinking for designers who engage in material related industries - which comes in...
Simulating the deformation of human tissue during medical procedures that employ needles is important for representing the tissue's elastic behavior, thus providing visual realism to simulated medical training. This article presents a method for simulating the deformation of three-dimensional objects that represent human organs through many tissue layers, in which the following physical parameters...
Several studies report that Engineering students face difficulties in understanding the concepts of Spatial Geometry in Technical Drawing courses. Thus, this papers goal is to present a mixed methodology that combines AR artifacts with traditional educational materials, like books and course packs. Some results of this methodology are shown in an Engineering course along five years, indicating that...
Computer graphics and virtual reality have emerged as visual/interactive solutions for several applications simulating real situations. Tasks that required large financial resources and time were optimized with such technologies. With the development and improvement of equipment that enable the materialization of digital models, virtual studies can be combined with subsequent physical analysis at...
We present an approach which enables real-time augmentation of an environment composed of materials with different texture and reflectance properties without the need of application-specific hardware or extensive preparation. Our solution uses a set of RGB images of a reconstructed model to optimize the reflectance parameters and light location. Each image is decomposed into its specular and diffuse...
The color of a material is one of the most frequently used features in automated visual inspection systems. While this is sufficient for many “easy” tasks, mixed and organic materials usually require more complex features. Spectral signatures, especially in the near infrared range, have been proven useful in many cases. However, hyperspectral imaging devices are still very costly and too slow to use...
Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) promotes increased consistency between a system's design and its design documentation through the use of an object-oriented system model. The creation of this system model facilitates data presentation by providing a mechanism from which information can be extracted by automated manipulation of model content. Existing MBSE tools enable model creation, but are...
Information describing the materials that make up scene constituents provides invaluable context that can lead to a better understanding of images. We would like to obtain such material information at every pixel, in arbitrary images, regardless of the objects involved. In this paper, we introduce visual material traits to achieve this. Material traits, such as "shiny," or "woven,"...
Concepts in Formal Languages and Theory of Computation remain to be vague and complicated for students undergoing undergraduate computer sciences programmes. Moreover, the volume of learning content delivered as mere lectures in a course semester also causes disinterest among students studying these courses in tier-3 engineering institutions. Considering the present generation students and their learning...
In today's social context, the role of designers has been shifting gradually with design evolution. Along with the proposition of design thinking, service design and transformation design, designers work more with people than merely for people. And that makes designers play the role of facilitators more in the design processes to promote co-design with various stakeholders for solutions and strategies...
The evaluation of the city emergency risk is an important basis of the development of the city emergency capability. This paper made a evaluation to the eight sample cities based on the IAHP-Entropy integrated method. The IAHP-Entropy integrated method reflects both the knowledge of the expert and the information of the raw data. And the sample cities are choice by the three standards such as disaster...
Museum is one of places for recreation and education that can be visited by all ages, from children to adults. Elements of pedagogy in the museum can not be abandoned, and the current geological museum has begun to implement some of the technology, so users can capture the contents of the knowledge contained in it with easy and interesting. The study was conducted to determine the incorporation of...
The seamless composition of synthetic objects into real-world scenes requires a high level of detail to convince viewers that the rendered object belongs in the scene. These details include illumination properties that perceptually match the real-world environment. To achieve such effects, image based lighting is often used to emulate real-world lighting. This paper explores the role of lighting,...
The Universidad Nacional is making significant efforts to improve the professional performance of graduates according to the needs of the society and the industry. In particular, the School of Informatics has been exploring the opportunities to implement, through the use of a pedagogy oriented to problems and projects, a curricular integration between diverse areas of knowledge in the curriculum....
According to reliable online sources for Africa, access to the internet in 2011 was 16%, and there were 600 million Africans without access to electricity. Yet there are very few low-tech initiatives aimed at bridging this e-learning divide. One such initiative, for Nigeria, was funded by the Commonwealth of Learning in 2011/12: the use of audiovision for in-service teacher training. Audiovision (a...
This short essay aims at tracing the patrimonialization process of advertising from the 19th century to nowadays. The process followed third steps. First, advertising evolved from a despised object to a valuable cultural artifact. Considered as useless or deceitful in first place, advertising has gradually managed to gain legitimacy as a useful and even necessary tool for both companies that want...
The well tightness of the coal mining water-cooling explosion-proof motor results in difficult heat dissipation, high hydraulic pressure is needed to increase the cooling effect. However, high hydraulic pressure may lead motor shell to deform, which makes it difficult to change the motor and maintain the motor unit. The method of adding keyhole caulk weld spots on the outer cooling water jacket was...
