  2. 11. A blueprint for using commercial games off the shelf in defence training, education and research simulations

    Author : Håkan Hasewinkel; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computer science; Datavetenskap;

    Abstract : There are two types of simulations, those made for business and those made for pleasure. The underlying technology is usually the same, the difference being how and for what purpose the simulation is used. Often the two purposes can be combined. READ MORE

  4. 12. Head-mounted Projection Display to Support and Improve Motion Capture Acting

    Author : Daniel Kade; Oguzhan Özcan; Rikard Lindell; Morten Fjeld; Mälardalens högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computer Science; datavetenskap;

    Abstract : Current and future animations seek for realistic motions to create an illusion of authentic and believable animations. A technology widely used to support this process is motion capture. Therefore, motion capture actors are used to enrich the movements of digital avatars with suitable and believable motions and emotions. READ MORE

  5. 13. Simulated "real" worlds : Actions mediated through computer game play in science education

    Author : Elisabet M. Nilsson; Malmö högskola; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; computer game play; science education; computer games; game-based learning; mediated action; empirical studies; Agent O; SimCity 4; computer game play science education computer games game-based learning; Agent O; empirical studies; SimCity 4; mediated action;

    Abstract : Over the last decade, a great variety of visionary ideas and beliefs have been brought forward, regarding the potentials of using computer games as a tool for learning and mediation in educational settings. This thesis aims at contributing to research in this field, by empirically exploring what happens when students play and reflect on their computer game play in science education. READ MORE

  6. 14. Label Cover Reductions for Unconditional Approximation Hardness of Constraint Satisfaction

    Author : Cenny Wenner; Johan Håstad; Irit Dinur; Numerical Analysis and Computer Science (NADA) Faculty of Science Stockholm University; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Optimization; NP; Approximation; Approximability; Inapproximability; Constraint Satisfaction; CSP; Boolean Analysis; Satisfiability; SAT; Acyclic Subgraph; Betweenness; Unique Games; Computer Science; Datalogi;

    Abstract : Problem solving is an integral aspect of modern society and includes such tasks as picking the fastest route to work, optimizing a production line, scheduling computer tasks, placing new bus stops, or picking a meal from available ingredients.We study the hardness of solving Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs).

  7. 15. Improved Algorithms for Fast Shading and Lighting

    Author : Anders Hast; Ewert Bengtsson; Jos Stam; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Datavetenskap; Computer Graphics; Datavetenskap; Computer science; Datavetenskap;

    Abstract : Shading is a technique that is used in computer graphics to make faceted objects appear smooth and more realistic. In the research presented in this thesis we have investigated how shading can be generated as efficiently as possible without sacrificing quality. READ MORE
