This paper deals with understanding referring expressions involving perceptual grouping. The ability to use referring expressions is important for conversational agents aimed at r...
Educational Virtual Worlds (EVWs) allow one to circumvent physical, safety, and cost constraints that often affect real-world training and learning scenarios. Virtual humans can i...
In this paper, we propose the Interactive 3D BreakAway Map (I3BAM), an extension of the wellknown Worlds In Miniature [6]. The I3BAM supports user navigation in virtual buildings ...
This paper studies the way to improve consistency of states in a ball-game typed Distributed Virtual Environment (DVE) with lag, in peer-to-peer (P2P) architecture. That is, we ar...
To support the collaborative development of custom products in current distributed manufacturing, this paper develops a Web-based configure-to-order platform. The proposed platfor...
