Published How did visitors experience the domestic space in Pompeii?
(via sciencedaily.com) Researchers have used virtual reality and 3D eye-tracking technology to examine what drew the attention of the visitors when entering the stunning environment of an ancient Roman house. The team recreated the House of Greek Epigrams in 3D and tracked the gaze of study participants as they viewed the home.
Published Adding AI to Museum exhibits increases learning, keeps kids engaged longer
(via sciencedaily.com) Researchers have demonstrated a more effective way to support learning and increase engagement at science-focused museum exhibits. They used artificial intelligence to create a new genre of interactive, hands-on exhibits that includes an intelligent, virtual assistant to interact with visitors. When the researchers compared their intelligent exhibit to a traditional one, they found that the intelligent exhibit increased learning and the time spent at the exhibit.
Published Active video games provide alternative workout
(via sciencedaily.com) Working out isn't known for being fun. But new active video and virtual reality games may help change that. Exergaming, or active video gaming, may be the perfect introduction to helping people be more active, according to new research.
Published Intensity control of projectors in parallel: A doorway to an augmented reality future
(via sciencedaily.com) A challenge to adopting augmented reality (AR) in wider applications is working with dynamic objects, owing to a delay between their movement and the projection of light onto their new position. But, scientists may have a workaround. They have developed a method that uses multiple projectors while reducing delay time. Their method could open the door to a future driven by AR, helping us live increasingly technology-centered lives.
Published Stackable 'holobricks' can make giant 3D images
(via sciencedaily.com) Researchers have developed a new method to display highly realistic holographic images using 'holobricks' that can be stacked together to generate large-scale holograms.
Published Are conferences worth the time and money?
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Scientists who interact with others during assigned sessions at conferences are more likely to form productive collaborations than scientists who do not, researchers found. And the kicker? It doesn't matter whether the conference is in person or virtual.
Published Chemical reaction design goes virtual
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers aim to streamline the time- and resource-intensive process of screening ligands during catalyst design by using virtual ligands.
