Recreating Ancient Egyptian Culture in Second Life
DIGITEL '10: Proceedings of the 2010 Third IEEE International Conference on Digital Game and Intelligent Toy Enhanced LearningWe present the cases of two role playing communities in the virtual world Second Life. We examine the process of creating culture as educational recreation and discover whether the culture the communities set out to create is in fact successfully ...
Evaluation of three ionospheric delay computation methods for ground-based GNSS receivers
GNSS observables for ionospheric estimation are commonly based on carrier-to-code leveling (CCL) and precise point positioning (PPP) methods. The CCL method is a geometry-free method which uses carrier phase to level pseudorange observation for ...
Recreating early Islamic glass lamp lighting
VAST'09: Proceedings of the 10th International conference on Virtual Reality, Archaeology and Cultural HeritageEarly Islamic light sources are not simple, static, uniform points, and the fixtures themselves are often combinations of glass, water, fuel and flame. Various physically based renderers such as Radiance are widely used for modeling ancient ...
