Using VMWare Server, Xen, and OpenVZ we ex-amine the suitability of full virtualization, paravirtualiza-tion, and operating system

Over the last decade there has been growing recognition of the potential value of virtual reality and game technology for creating a new generation of tools for advancing rehabilitation, training and exercise activities. However, until recently the only way people could interact with digital games

The low security compartment is isolated through hardware-assisted virtualisation. The platform boots via Intel Trusted Execution Technology to resist manipulation. We

Abstract—In this paper, we discuss the question how physical statements can be proven remotely over digital communication channels without using classical secret keys, and without as-suming tamper-resistant and trusted measurement hardware in the location of the prover. Examples for the considered

Most research on distance collaboration using virtual environments treats audio and video problems as essentially independent. However, recent studies on virtual immersive systems have established a significant correlation between the relative qualities of audio and video displays and the overall

This paper presents the results of the Virtual Classroom project sponsored by the University of Westminster, Educational Initiative Centre (EIC) for delivering lectures on-line. The ultimate aim was to provide a portable hardware and easy to use software toolset as well as easy to follow

-ditions versus promising computer technology seemed to act as the main activity. However, the fusion of Virtual and Full-Scale Modeling could indefinitely serve as a promising field of research. 1.

are 2D in nature. Digital video full-dome planetariums have the potential to bridge the comprehension gap, using 3D virtual simulations in immersive environments that not only provide spatial context but may enhance learning in ways not possible via other techniques. Although digital video full

remains a technological challenge. In this paper we demonstrate a complete system architecture allowing the real-time ( ≥ 30 fps) acquisition and full-body reconstruction of one or several actors, which can then be integrated in a virtual environment. A volume of approximately 2m 3 is observed with (at
