We want to present a multimodal user interface for interaction with the virtual environment back--projected on the large projection screen. We use the interaction metaphor of a "spell--casting" wizard (the user) using a "magic wand" to interact with the VR environment

: The primary goal of the ACTS Magic WAND project is to specify a high speed indoor wireless ATM access network that will provide QoS support for mobile multimedia services, such as e.g. video conferencing. While most related ACTS projects focus on one specific WATM subsystem, the WAND covers

: The stochastic radio channel model (SRCM) derived within the Magic WAND project takes into account all propagation effects which have an impact on the system performance. Special attention has been paid to obtain an accurate description of the time and direction dispersive character of real

The problem of efficient, interactive foreground/background segmentation in still images is of great practical importance in image editing. Classical image segmentation tools use either texture (colour) information, e.g. Magic Wand, or edge (contrast) information, e.g. Intelligent Scissors

Of all the monsters that fill the nightmares of our folklore, none terrify more than werewolves, because they transform unexpectedly from the familiar into horrors. For these, one seeks bullets of silver that can magically lay them to rest. The familiar software project, at least as seen

This paper presents an evaluation of the benefits and user acceptance of a multimodal interface in which the user interacts with a game-like interactive virtual reality application ‘‘The Enigma of the Sphinx’’. The interface consists of a large projection screen as the main display, a ‘‘magic wand

Web search services process thousands of queries per second, and filter their answers from collections containing very large amounts of data. Fast response to queries is a critical service expectation. The well-known WAND processing strategy is one way of reducing the amount of computation
