Who am I and where am I? - switching and stitching in the digital age. (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Smyth, M., Raijmakers, B., & Munro, A. (2004, May). Who am I and where am I? - switching and stitching in the digital age. Presented at INTERNATIONAL DESIGN CONFERENCE - DESIGN 2004, Dubrovnik, Croatia

This paper will introduce the concept of human identity. It will focus on how the creation, maintenance and communication of identity could be supported by technology. Initially a series of human groups are described which have the potential to infor... Read More about Who am I and where am I? - switching and stitching in the digital age..

Insideness-Outsideness: characterizing the experiences of real and virtual places. (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Turner, P., & Turner, S. (2004, October). Insideness-Outsideness: characterizing the experiences of real and virtual places. Presented at 7th Annual International Workshop on Presence

An alternate approach to characterizing and describing experiences of both real and virtually recreated places is described both in theoretical and empirical terms.

Gaze tracking and its application to video coding for sign language. (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Muir, L. J., Richardson, I., & Leaper, S. (2003, May). Gaze tracking and its application to video coding for sign language. Presented at Picture Coding Symposium 2003

Sign language communication via videotelephone has demanding visual quality requirements. In order to optimise video coding for sign language it is necessary to quantify the importance of areas of the video scene. Eye movements of deaf users are trac...

Recreating the Botanics: towards a sense of place in virtual environments. (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Turner, S., Turner, P., Carroll, F., O'Neill, S., Benyon, D., McCall, R., & Smyth, M. (2003, June). Recreating the Botanics: towards a sense of place in virtual environments. Paper presented at 3rd UK Conference of the Environmental Psychology Network

The EC funded project BENOGO seeks to re-create real places using photo-realistic
immersive virtual reality technology and in so doing investigates the nature of
presence and sense of place in such environments. We discuss the first stages in our... Read More about Recreating the Botanics: towards a sense of place in virtual environments..

Gesture recognition - Research and clinical perspectives. (1997)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Keates, S., Potter, R., Perricos, C., & Robinson, P. (1997, June). Gesture recognition - Research and clinical perspectives. Presented at RESNA '97 Annual Conference: let's tango : partnering people and technology, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

This paper provides an overview of an existing gesture recognition system from both research and clinical perspectives. Developing a gestural input system needs not only a gesture recognizer but also the identification of appropriate clinical conditi...

Accurate rapid simulation of urban traffic using discrete modelling. (1996)
Report
Russell, G., Shaw, P., & Ferguson, N. (1996). Accurate rapid simulation of urban traffic using discrete modelling

Increasing model complexity has traditionally been viewed as a key way of improving microscopic model accuracy. However, with complexity comes an increase in execution time. In some applications, such as UTC systems, low execution times and a high de... Read More about Accurate rapid simulation of urban traffic using discrete modelling..
