▼ People often rely on workspace awareness to collaborate with one another, especially in learning and problem-solving tasks. Workspace awareness is defined as an understanding of a current state of the work environment and collaborators’ activities. However, workspace awareness is difficult to maintain in virtual environments (VE), since some information from the real world is missing. Fortunately, VEs are flexible and can be designed to compensate for a lack of real world cues. This thesis aims to improve collaborative workspace awareness through enhancing the design of VEs. Our proposed approaches improve workspace awareness in three ways. The first approach examines space configurations that could improve awareness in a collaboration. The second explores different strategies for updating the visual environment so that users are aware of their collaborators’ actions. The third focuses on finding visual cues that raise the user’s awareness when collaborating with multiple users. Prior research studies suggested that users operate in workspace to manage their attention and divide their tasks when working in the real world. The space within the users’ reach is often assigned as a private space and the space out of users’ reach is assigned as a group space. Following this approach, we propose to set up a virtual space in a desktop virtual reality environment by assigning the space in front of the desktop screen as a private space and the space behind the screen as a group space. According to our user study, this setup improves collaborations between users. To gain further insight into information sharing strategies in VEs, a user study was conducted to compare different strategies for updating the VEs in complex remote problem-solving tasks. From the study, real-time updating is found to be not suitable for workspace awareness, especially when users are performing different tasks. On the other hand, an updating strategy that updates only information that is relevant to the users’ actions performs the best. Moreover, users change collaboration strategies depending on the update timing. Design guidelines are proposed from the user study as a direction for different collaborative situations. While there are many research works that allow users to work together in one-to-one collaborations, less attention has been paid to one-to-many collaborations. This is due to the lack of visual awareness cues that allow users to spectate multiple users. To alleviate this limitation, a prototype system named ObserVAR is proposed. ObserVAR utilizes Augmented Reality (AR) technology to help an instructor in spectating multiple Virtual Reality (VR) users by augmenting the instructor’s environment with virtual awareness cues generated from the VR users. In the development of ObserVAR, different awareness cues are compared in a user study to determine its suitability under various circumstances. The virtual awareness cues are then optimized further using techniques derived from graph visualization to reduce visual clutter. Finally, the…

▼ Conveying complex information using visualizations is becoming increasingly important for decision support as it allows stakeholders to critically evaluate and weigh different tradeoffs related to the sustainability of proposed designs (e.g ecological risks, aesthetic perceptions, habitat biodiversity). 3D and 4D visualizations are promising methods of visual communication in this context offering researchers and practitioners an expanded toolkit for engaging the public more broadly. The spatial and temporal accuracy of such visual representations increases a sense of presence allowing respondents to ‘experience’ different design scenarios more realistically. Despite a large body of research on the merits of including 3D and 4D visuals in decision support, there is limited empirical evidence of how a visual medium best creates presence and whether additional non-visual stimuli can contribute this realistic experience based on objective measure. Prior research has focused primarily on psychological responses to both multisensory simulations and the effect of different viewing hardware on experience. This study investigates physiological indicators (galvanic skin response) to assess participants responses to 4D visualizations. Participants (N = 39) were presented with digital animations via a conventional screen and virtual reality head mounted display, with two varied sound conditions (no sound and detailed sound) across three environments (community garden, playground, and woodlot). Perceived biodiversity, preference, realism, recreational value, arousal, and pleasure were assessed using a 1-5 Likert-type scale while simultaneously collecting GSR data. Results indicate biodiversity, preference, and pleasure were significantly impacted by sound and environment while Realism and arousal were only significantly impacted by environment. These findings advance our understanding of how new technology and multisensory stimuli can influence stakeholders and impact environmental decision making.

▼ Architecture is more than just the idea of form and space as an object, and we are more than just a subjects in space. We are people who are trained in the discipline of architecture. The virtuoso’s of our craft and are masters in the use and design of various form and space. Designers who invest body and spirit into manipulating space to impart a dynamic response on the human body. By manipulating and designing around the perception of time, utilising elements such as light, shadow and colour to evoke a reaction to enhance the spatial condition experienced. This research proposes to question how the use of real-time virtual environments (RTVE’s) can be used as an application to aid in establishing an experience driven design that attempts to control the intangible, temporal qualities of the real world. The principal aim of this thesis is to challenge and critique. Through a series of virtual environments and case studies that are temporal and ephemeral in nature. The research is to act as a reflective design application that can enhance and reconnect the human body to the virtual realm. This research asks: “how can real-time virtual environments re-establish the presence of the human body in digital design through the investigation of temporal qualities such as light, shadow and movement within architecture?” Through investigating these qualities, the research subsequently asks: “How can we use these observations to build a more responsive and evocative architecture that is centred on temporal moments?” In conclusion this research concludes with a hyper-temporal application that presents the temporal elements discussed in literature and more. Utilizing RTVE’s as a platform to enhance and accommodate for a holistic, experience driven design. Allowing one to manipulate and distort time within the design application tool. One that highlights architectural moments that are memorable through the various times in a day, month and year. Imposing a qualitative measure of light, shadow and atmosphere as a means to judge the quality of space. Engagement of the human body within digital design allows inhabitants and designers to stop and reflect on design decisions. Stopping to purely... ‘dwell in time’.

▼ This thesis presents a generic and principled solution for optimising the visual complexity of any arbitrary computer-generated virtual environment (VE). This is performed with the ultimate goal of reducing the inherent latencies of current virtual reality (VR) technology. Effectively, we wish to remove extraneous detail from an environment which the user cannot perceive, and thus modulate the graphical complexity of a VE with little or no perceptual artifacts. The work proceeds by investigating contemporary models and theories of visual perception and then applying these to the field of real-time computer graphics. Subsequently, a technique is devised to assess the perceptual content of a computer-generated image in terms of spatial frequency (c/deg), and a model of contrast sensitivity is formulated to describe a user's ability to perceive detail under various conditions in terms of this metric. This allows us to base the level of detail (LOD) of each object in a VE on a measure of the degree of spatial detail which the user can perceive at any instant (taking into consideration the size of an object, its angular velocity, and the degree to which it exists in the peripheral field). Additionally, a generic polygon simplification framework is presented to complement the use of perceptually modulated LOD. The efficient implementation of this perceptual model is discussed and a prototype system is evaluated through a suite of experiments. These include a number of low-level psychophysical studies (to evaluate the accuracy of the model), a task performance study (to evaluate the effects of the model on the user), and an analysis of system performance gain (to evaluate the effects of the model on the system). The results show that for the test application chosen, the frame rate of the simulation was manifestly improved (by four to five-fold) with no perceivable drop in image fidelity. As a result, users were able to perform the given wayfinding task more proficiently and rapidly. Finally, conclusions are drawn on the application and utility of perceptually-based optimisations; both in reference to this work, and in the wider context.

▼ In 2012-2013, a new virtual learning environment called Pepper was introduced to six face-to-face student cohort groups in an Initial Teacher Education (ITE) program at a large Ontario university. Cohort instructors reported a high level of student engagement and felt that Pepper was more successful at supporting community than the previous commercial course management system. These findings inspired the current case study. What specific features and functionality of Pepper seemed to promote a deeper sense of community within these cohort-based environments, and why? The research questions were answered by collecting data from a variety of sources. First, in order to comprehend student/instructor online behaviours, automatically generated Pepper log files were examined. A survey was conducted to gather student opinions about different aspects of Pepper’s functionality. Finally, students, instructors and the developer were interviewed to gather in-depth perspectives and experiences. Data analysis revealed that, contrary to expectations, Pepper was not used to conduct community-wide discussions, since most conversations took place daily during face-to-face classes. Instead, Pepper’s perceived value was associated with its ease of use and its ability to i) share documents; ii) send and receive private messages; iii) make announcements; and iv) integrate calendars. Thus it complemented face-to-face community activities rather than replacing them. The research documented unconventional and innovative instructor uses of Pepper, including the hosting of multiple cohort groups in one shared environment and the use of a shared folder feature to foster overlapping cohort memberships. These behaviours mark a change from other course management systems where courses exist in separate online silos with no opportunity for interaction or collaboration. Logfiles revealed that private messaging was used more often than public postings, despite the environment’s open format, raising questions about the possible importance of private discourse in communities. Finally, there was a perceived need for Pepper to be more accessible through smartphones to better support students’ moment-by-moment need for information between and during classes. Recommendations are made relating to instructor and student training, full open access courses, additional tools and graphic representations. The concept of participatory presence is introduced as a new online cohort community framework. Advisors/Committee Members: Hewitt, James, Curriculum, Teaching and Learning.

non-peer-reviewed

It has long been the vision of educators to deliver effective learning through the internet. This is particularly true for the further education sector, where daily class attendance can prove difficult for the adult learner who has many responsibilities and commitments that exist outside the classroom environment. The emergence of technologies such as the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) offers an option for educators to deliver learning resources and communication with students over the medium of the internet. The introduction of a VLE into adult education can open up many possibilities and offer flexibility to teachers and their learners as regards time and space. This study explores the extent to which the introduction of a VLE will impact on learning delivery and contribute to classroom teaching and learning of adult students in a rural Further Education Centre (FEC) context. The option of pure online instruction will be considered for future learners, together with the current perceived role of VLEs with its contribution to a blended approach to learning delivery. The exploration of potential barriers to change that effect the many stakeholders within the FEC and elsewhere which will untimely come from such a major introduction into the educational setting. These barriers can range from technological to pedagogical and the introducers and implementers of the VLE will need to consider many issues if the delivery of educational courses is to be successful through the VLE and where both teacher and student learning expectations are realised. Key findings were determined from a mixture of quantitative and qualitative data and include the opinion that technologies such as a VLE can be of benefit to the success of a blended learning approach in a further education setting. However, great care must be taken at the introduction and implementation stage to prepare for the change processes and adequate training and support must be made available to the teachers that are involved. Affordable and fast broadband must always be available to both learners and their teacher if the benefits of the VLE introduction are to be fully realised.

▼ Radiação solar: estudo e criação de plataforma de apoio à conceção de um sensor de radiação solar. Este trabalho introduz a teoria da instrumentação virtual descrevendo os principais componentes desta. É detalhada a implementação de um instrumento virtual e uma base de dados associada que permitem obter uma estimativa de variáveis ambientais para qualquer ponto do globo e qualquer altura do ano. Este instrumento - Environment simulator – permite fornecer dados ambientais necessários a simulação da radiação solar. Para explicar a implementação da plataforma de apoio introduzem-se noções relativas à radiação solar, à relação entre o planeta Terra e o sol bem como o cálculo da posição solar. É introduzida a noção de radiação espectral, bem como as propriedades óticas da atmosfera que interagem com a mesma. Apresentam-se formulações e aproximações dos coeficientes de extinção e dispersão na atmosfera que levam ao cálculo da radiação solar espectral direta, difusa e global. Por fim, validam-se os resultados através da comparação com valores registados durante a campanha de observações ALEX2014; Abstract: Solar Radiation: study and creation of support platform to design a solar radiation sensor This work introduce the virtual instrumentation theory describing the principal components of this theory. The implementation of a virtual instrument and an associated database is explained. This instrument allow the estimation of the environmental variables anywhere in the world and at any time of the year. This instrument – Environment simulator –provide environmental data necessary to simulate solar radiation. To explain the implementation of the support platform we introduce notions about solar radiation, the relationship between Earth and the sun and the calculation of solar position. The spectral solar radiation is present, as well as the principal atmospheric optical properties that interact with solar radiation. We present formulations and approximations of the extinction coefficient and scattering in the atmosphere that allow the calculation of the spectral direct solar radiation, diffuse and global. Lastly, the result of simulations are validated through comparison with measured values during the ALEX2014 field campaign. Advisors/Committee Members: Tlemçani, Mouhaydine, Salgado, Rui.

▼ Virtual reality-based instruction such as virtual worlds, games, and simulations are becoming very popular in K-12 and higher education. Three manuscripts that report the results of investigations of these increasingly prevalent instructional media were developed for this dissertation. The purpose of the first study, a meta-analysis, was to analyze the instructional effectiveness of virtual reality-based instruction when compared to the traditional methods of instruction. In addition, this study also explored selected instructional design features of the virtual learning environment that moderated the relationship between instructional method and the academic achievements. Analyses of 63 experimental or quasi-experimental studies that studied learning outcomes of virtual reality-based instruction in K-12 or higher education settings yielded a mean effect size of g = 0.47 (SE = 0.02) suggesting that virtual reality-based instruction is an effective medium of delivering instruction. Further analyses examined factors that influence its effectiveness. The purpose of the second study was to examine a model of the impact of a 3-D desktop virtual reality environment on the learner characteristics (i.e. perceptual and psychological variables) that can enhance chemistry-related learning achievements in an introductory college chemistry class. A theoretical model of the relationships of features of 3-D virtual reality environments and students' experiences in the environments to outcomes on a chemistry learning test and measures of spatial ability and self-efficacy was tested using structural equation modeling. Usability strongly mediated the relationship between 3-D virtual reality features, spatial orientation, self-efficacy, and presence. Spatial orientation and self-efficacy had a statistically significant, positive impact on the chemistry learning test. The purpose of the third study was to investigate the potential of Second Life (SL), a 3-D virtual world, to enhance undergraduate students? learning of a foundational chemistry concept, spatial ability, and self-efficacy. A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design was used. A total of 387 participants completed three assignment activities either in Second Life or using 2-D images. The difference between the scores of 3-D virtual environment-based group and the 2-D images-based group was not statistically significant for any of the measures.

Masters Research - Master of Philosophy (MPhil)

Changes in business practices and the volatility of the world economy have led to the development of new business practices to suit the modern business environment. These new business practices utilise the capabilities of available technologies, principally those technologies that facilitate communication. This integration of communication technologies has led to a growing prevalence of virtual teamwork utilising online or electronic environments. Virtual teamwork has been recognised by businesses as an increasingly important tool, yet one that suffers from a lack of sufficient training. In the Construction Industry, this lack of training is problematic due to increasing Virtual Teamwork technologies, such as BIM, that require adequately trained and skilled professionals. This research study seeks to examine whether the prevalence of Virtual Teamwork is recognised by Australian university construction programs, and if these programs are delivering graduates with the required skills for effective Virtual Teamwork. In addition, the issue of alignment between universities, industry representative bodies, and the Construction Industry, is explored to determine if the education of Virtual Teamwork skills is required in the graduate competencies stipulated by the industry representative bodies. It was found that the growing importance of communication technologies in the Construction Industry was recognised by staff, students and representative bodies, and was reflected in the courses taught. In addition, teamwork was acknowledged as an important element of the Construction Industry, and incorporated as part of construction courses. However, the specific and unique skills required for effective teamwork in a virtual environment were not considered important by staff or the representative bodies, and did not form an explicit part of the majority of Australian university construction programs. Interestingly, students recognised the growing importance of Virtual Teamwork skills, with many noting the lack of training in these skills as common to construction programs. These findings are important because they demonstrate the gap between the trends of the Construction Industry and the education of the future professionals.

▼ This thesis questions, what characteristics constitute architecture and how can a design based body of research push the boundaries to question standard convention of architecture? My research proposes that there is a lost opportunity in conventional architecture design when the limitation of two-dimensional images cannot fully convey the reality of space. Conventionally architecture is viewed as static and unchanging however, this research disagrees with this proposition and explores the opportunity for there to be an immersive experience throughout the design stage. This research project asks how can we bridge the gap between the architecture created in the physical world versus the virtual? Scaled physical modeling is traditionally the key visual representation of architectural design. However, people often can’t fully understand the intricacies of a scaled model. Through my research, I explore how VR technology could provide solutions to let people experience the materiality and craft of a real-life model. Restrictions in perception of scale, materiality and circulation hinder the thorough understanding of experience in space. There is an opportunity to collaborate and merge the experience of physical modeling in the digital realm. By using handcrafted physical models, my work brings the imperfection of real life into the digital realm. Allowing the materiality from the real world to ground the project with the familiarity that only real space can induce. Papercraft and modeling by card are the chosen material and method of constructing these real-life scaled models. Photogrammetry is used as a process to translate these physical “objects” into digital mesh. The physical and virtual world can work together harmoniously to create interesting results. The material properties of physical models are highlighted but have the advantage of being able to be easily manipulated (scale, multiply, move etc) in the digital realm. By using VR in order to explore these created environments allows the users to grasp the full nature of the materials and craftsmanship of physical models in a 1:1 scale. This hybrid way of designing celebrates the benefits and advantage of both the physical and virtual world and is a start to bridge the gap between them. Advisors/Committee Members: Moleta, Tane.

Dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Geospatial Technologies.

There are numerous reasons to evacuate a building in case of emergency; generally evacuation runs in case of constraints as fire, earthquake, indoor air pollution incidents, terrorist attacks and so on. There was a fire tragedy reported on January 28, 2013 in a night club in Brazil that many victims confused the exit sign with that for the toilet sign, where 50 bodies were found dead in toilet. It is reported that the victims lost their sense of direction due to the smoke [1]. Consequently the traditional static emergency signs are no longer effective especially in a complex building. They are not intelligent to decide how many people are using different exit, where the fire is and how much it may spread or how the evacuee will decide and think while they are in panic. They are several attempts to simulate the evacuation area and create a better model to dynamically lead the evacuee to exit. However creating such system is difficult because the prediction of behaviors in emergency incidents, modeling and examination in the real scenario are the biggest problems. Evacuation exercise are expensive and time consuming, as a result Virtual Environment (VEs) might be the feasible solution to create the emergency scenario and to study the physical, cognitive, and perceptual capabilities of the evacuees, letting them to experience and feel the emergency incident that are impossible to apply in the real world. This project presents the use of VE, called Immersive Video Environment (IVE) [2] to investigate and evaluate the possible dynamic signage inside a building to guide the evacuees to safety and exit. IVE system contains three screens with 140 degree from each other using 3 back projected wall at the same time. In this study dynamic signs inform the evacuee by following the exit signs cause of fire emergency and move towards the exit. Generally the user of VE is disoriented or discomforted due to navigation (Travel) part. As a result, following factors are evaluated by using some pre-defined questionnaire such as Simulator Sickness Questionnaire and NASA TLX: 1. The pre-movement time or response time to the dynamic signs. 2. Panic behavior or Decision making 3. Comfort of the system due to navigation part. 4. Performance of IVE 5. Realism of the simulation 8 scenarios have been managed for this experiment in which each of them last around 30 to 40 seconds for a trip from start point to the exit door. In the entire scenario, the exit signs will be varied. The test participants were 10 people (5 Female, 5 Male) who come from different countries not specially Germany. There were great considerable results of decision making in this study for example, there were several errors for the fire sign during the experiment besides the response time for the fire sign were highly more than the other designs. From the evaluator recognition, it is said that their response has been influenced by the exit…

▼ Virtual environments can provide, through digital games and online social interfaces, extremely exciting forms of interactive entertainment. Because of their capability in displaying and manipulating information in natural and intuitive ways, such environments have found extensive applications in decision support, education and training in the health and science domains amongst others. Currently, the burden of validating both the interactive functionality and visual consistency of a virtual environment content is entirely carried out by developers and play-testers. While considerable research has been conducted in assisting the design of virtual world content and mechanics, to date, only limited contributions have been made regarding the automatic testing of the underpinning graphics software and hardware. The aim of this thesis is to determine whether the correctness of the images generated by a virtual environment can be quantitatively defined, and automatically measured, in order to facilitate the validation of the content. In an attempt to provide an environment-independent definition of visual consistency, a number of classification approaches were developed. First, a novel model-based object description was proposed in order to enable reasoning about the color and geometry change of virtual entities during a play-session. From such an analysis, two view-based connectionist approaches were developed to map from geometry and color spaces to a single, environment-independent, geometric transformation space; we used such a mapping to predict the correct visualization of the scene. Finally, an appearance-based aliasing detector was developed to show how incorrectness too, can be quantified for debugging purposes. Since computer games heavily rely on the use of highly complex and interactive virtual worlds, they provide an excellent test bed against which to develop, calibrate and validate our techniques. Experiments were conducted on a game engine and other virtual worlds prototypes to determine the applicability and effectiveness of our algorithms. The results show that quantifying visual correctness in virtual scenes is a feasible enterprise, and that effective automatic bug detection can be performed through the techniques we have developed. We expect these techniques to find application in large 3D games and virtual world studios that require a scalable solution to testing their virtual world software and digital content.
