Abstract This thesis describes the automated production of multimedia-based learning mate- rials. Recording of real live lectures enables a lightweight and cost-effective way of creating electronic lectures. The flexible screen grabbing technology can capture vir- tually any material presented during a lecture and furthermore can be integrated seamlessly into an existing teaching environment in a transparent manner, so that the teacher is not aware of the recording process. Throughout this thesis the design and development of a flexible and easy-to-use lec- turing environment on the basis of Virtual Network Computing (VNC) is explained. The VNC infrastructure and protocol is adapted to build up an environment that of- fers scalable transmission of live lectures and is capable of supplying a large number of distance students in parallel. Furthermore, the suggested system provides com- fortable lecture recording in order to produce electronic lectures for asynchronous replay at any time later. These electronic lectures preserve the verbal narration of the teacher and any material or applications presented during a lecture including additional annotations (e.g. adding freehand drawings by use of an electronic pen). Unlike other pixel-based recording environments, the suggested system offers slide- based navigation and full text search. This is achieved by automated post-processing which generates appropriate indexing structures and search bases by analyzing the recorded lectures. Several analysing concepts are introduced and compared by eval- uating recorded lectures of different presentation styles. Furthermore, an implementation of the suggested concepts and ideas { the TeleTeach- ingTool { is presented and usage scenarios are given in order to approve the usability and the advantage of the system. Acknowledgment I would like to thank Thomas Perst and Pete Bankhead for their patient efforts in proofreading and their helpful suggestions and comments.

  • Playing Movies in a Java 3D World (Part 1) Andrew Davison Dept
    Playing Movies in a Java 3D World (Part 1) Andrew Davison Dept. of Computer Engineering Prince of Songkla University Hat Yai, Songkhla 90112 Thailand [email protected] May 2005 The ability to play a movie clip inside a Java 3D scene opens up opportunities for richer, more interesting 3D content. A movie can display more believable backgrounds, such as moving clouds, a busy city street, or the view out of a window. Movies can be employed in help screens, or as transitions between game levels. This article, which is split into two parts, describes how I implemented a Java 3D movie screen. In this part, I'll explain how I utilized the Java Media Framework (JMF), more specifically the JMF Performance Pack for Windows v.2.1.1e (http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/). The other tools in my arsenal were J2SE 5.0 and Java 3D 1.3.2. In part two, I'll discuss another version of the movie screen, using Quicktime for Java. Figure 1 shows two screenshots of the JMF Movie3D application, taken at different times: the one on the right is a view of the screen from the back. Figure 1. Two Views of the Movie3D Application The important elements of this application are: • An integration of JMF and Java 3D. There can be multiple screens in an application, of any size. Since a screen is a subclass of Java 3D's Shape3D class, it can be easily integrated into different Java 3D scenes. • The implementation uses the Model-View-Controller design pattern.

    Ap´endiceA Documentaci´ondel desarrollo del software A.1. Metodolog´ıade trabajo La realizaci´ondel software de este proyecto se ha compuesto de tres tareas diferenciadas: el reproductor de v´ıdeo,el Int´erpreteTICO y la Galer´ıade pictogramas. Para el desarrollo de cada tarea se ha seguido la misma metodolog´ıade trabajo que ha comenzado, para todos los casos, con una fase de an´alisisdonde se ha definido el problema a resolver. Posteriormente se ha continuado con la fase del dise~nodetallado e implementaci´on.Por ´ultimo,durante el desarrollo y tras su finalizaci´on,se han realizado distintos tipos de pruebas para garantizar un buen funcionamiento de la aplicaci´on. En este ap´endice,a diferencia del cap´ıtulo4 donde se explica cada una de las tareas de este proyecto por separado, se exponen los aspectos mencionados de forma conjunta. A.2. Resultados del an´alisis A.2.1. Requisitos La primera etapa del desarrollo de cada parte consisti´oen establecer los requisitos que deb´ıacumplir y as´ıconseguir una mayor comprensi´ondel problema a resolver. Para ello, antes de comenzar el desarrollo, se realizaron reuniones con el director del proyecto y los profesores del CPEE Alborada. Se expusieron las nuevas necesidades o mejoras que hab´ıaque introducir en la aplicaci´ony de esta forma se lleg´oa un enfoque com´unde la misma. Los requisitos recogidos para cada parte sufrieron varias modificaciones a lo largo del desarrollo del software correspondiente.

  • ELAN Native Media Handling
    We have now implemented an alternative method of controlling video by using native platform dependent software. Under Windows the MS DirectX library is used, which is also applied by companies generating computer games. Tests have shown that video handling by ELAN on a Windows machine is now much smoother and yields the required precision. This is solved for MPEG1, and we are now looking for good codec for MPEG2. Currently we are busy using native methods on the MAC as well. Results will be presented in the next LAN issue. It should be noted here that the precision for MPEG encoded data is limited to the frame duration. For a higher precision one has to refer to the audio fle as the primary media fle in ELAN. ELAN Native Media Handling Albert Russel & Peter Wittenburg MPI, N megen Similar to other projects the ELAN team based its media handling software components on Java Media Framework and Quicktime for Java (QTJ). For some time it has been obvious that the idea of creating a platform independent media framework has failed. There have been severe problems with JMF and QTJ and the utterly complex issue of handling video in a smooth fashion has not been solved. Those who have used ELAN will have recognized the low degree of precision when playing media and may have attributed this to ELAN. We have invested much time in improving the media handling in two steps: (1) We cleaned up the media handling code to get the best performance that can be achieved with JMF. (2) .
