Coming Down to Earth: Helping Teachers Use 3D Virtual Worlds in Across-Spaces Learning Situations

Different approaches have explored how to provide seamless learning across multiple ICT-enabled physical and virtual spaces, including three-dimensional virtual worlds (3DVW). However, these approaches present limitations that may reduce their acceptance i ...

Full blow-up range for co-rotaional wave maps to surfaces of revolution

Can Gao

We construct blow-up solutions of the energy critical wave map equation on

\mathbb{R}^{2+1}\to \mathcal N

with polynomial blow-up rate (

t^{-1-\nu}

for blow-up at

t=0

) in the case when

\mathcal N

is a surface of revolution. Here we extend the blow-u ...

Designing Augmented Reality for the Classroom

Pierre Dillenbourg, Sébastien Cuendet, Quentin Bonnard

Augmented reality (AR) has recently received a lot of attention in education. Multiple AR systems for learning have been developed and tested through empirical studies often conducted in lab settings. While lab studies can be insightful, they leave out the ...

Design and Evaluation of a Graphical iPad Application for Arranging Adaptive Furniture

Auke Ijspeert, Pierre Dillenbourg, Patrick Jermann, Julia Fink, Rico Möckel, Stéphane Bonardi, Jérémy Blatter

We present the design and evaluation of an iPad application that will be used to operate the modular robots “Roombots”. Roombots are the building blocks for adaptive pieces of furniture. The application allows a user to arrange adaptive furniture within a ...

To a cultural perspective of mixed reality events: a case study of event overflow in operas and concerts in mixed reality

Jean-François Lucas

Mixed reality defines the sharing of a space-time between the real and the virtual world. The definition of this concept is further extended when virtual worlds such as Second Life (SL) are included. Through cultural events such as concerts and operas, we ...

Evaluating recommender systems from the user's perspective: survey of the state of the art

Pearl Pu Faltings, Li Chen, Rong Hu

A recommender system is a Web technology that proactively suggests items of interest to users based on their objective behavior or explicitly stated preferences. Evaluations of recommender systems (RS) have traditionally focused on the performance of algor ...

From Composites to Service Systems: The Role of Emergence in Service Design

Alain Wegmann, Anshuman Bahadur Saxena

Service Design is an engineering endeavor to enrich some aspect of the real world through a man-made artifact. Systems approach to modeling reality is particularly relevant to Service Design as it seeks to explain reality as a composition of functional obs ...

Entangled Transactions

Christoph Koch, Milos Nikolic

As the world becomes more interdependent and computing grows more collaborative, there is a need for new abstractions and tools to help users work together. We recently introduced entangled queries – a mechanism for information exchange between database qu ...
