Historical developments of cinema technology have
contributed to the apparent reality of movie-goers' experience. The current
study uses both self-report and physiological measures (heart-rate, skin
conductance, skin ...
In recent years, an increasing number of Mixed Reality (MR) applications have been developed using agent technology—both for the underlying software and as an interface metaphor. However, no unifying field or theory currently ...
Traditionally, social interaction research has concentrated on either fully virtually embodied agents (e.g. embodied conversational agents) or fully physically embodied agents (e.g. robots). For some time, however, both ...

This paper examines the extent and nature of institutional change arising from the Good Friday agreement in terms of the North-South dimension. The paper adopts an architectural analogy in its analysis of these developments, ...
We have developed a prototype virtual reality based balance training system using a single inertial orientation sensor attached to the upper surface of a wobble board. This input device has been interfaced with an open ...
Virtual reality-based computer games may be a
useful way to develop motor skills and increase activity levels in
children. We have developed an interactive computer platform
where users must tilt a wobble board to ...
Addressing the obesity epidemic that plagues many societies remains an outstanding public health issue. One innovative approach to addressing this problem is Exergaming. A combination of "Exercise" and "Gaming", the objective ...
Childhood obesity [Lung and Initiative, 2000] has become a major problem for many countries
in recent years and addressing the obesity epidemic remains an outstanding public health issue.
Childhood especially in developed ...
Over the last two decades, interest in salivary research in the social sciences has grown rapidly. Salivary research is appealing as a quick, inexpensive and non-invasive means of determining a range of biological markers, ...
Networked robotic applications enable robots to operate in distant, hazardous, or otherwise inaccessible environments, such as search and rescue, surveillance, and exploration applications.
The most difficult challenge ...
