Veritas et Visus 3rd Dimension May 2010 Forced perspectives… by Mark Fihn I am fascinated by photographic illusions that force a perspective on us – knocking our sense of depth perception out-of-whack. The lessons we learn about the importance of perspective are very valuable and provide clues to how we can effectively create 3D images on 2D surfaces. And they are fun! Enjoy! Some fun with forced perspective at famous sites Creating Lilliput is sometimes a bit contrived… 2 Veritas et Visus 3rd Dimension May 2010 . 3 Veritas et Visus 3rd Dimension May 2010 Perhaps a few photo ideas here for your next vacation with kids/grandkids… Clever images like these both fascinate the senses while also educating us about some basic concepts associated with the significance of depth cues. 4 Veritas et Visus 3rd Dimension May 2010 And finally, here’s the best illusion I’ve seen in awhile… I don’t know the origins, other than it’s called the “3D light effect illusion”. Stare at the image for about 30 seconds, and then move your head back and forth a bit – and you should see some fascinating movement related to both color and depth. 62 fascinating pages about optical illusions http://www.veritasetvisus.com 5 Veritas et Visus 3rd Dimension May 2010 3D news from around the world compiled by Phillip Hill and Mark Fihn Panasonic announces pricing and availability of Full HD 3D plasma TVs Panasonic announced pricing and nationwide retail availability dates for its VIERA VT25 Series of Full HD 3D plasma TVs. The debut of the VT25 series will expand Panasonic’s 3D offerings to four screens sizes with availability at a wide range of consumer electronics retailers. The first VIERA VT25 models will be available in May in 50-inch class (49.9 inches diagonal) and 54-inch class (54.1 inches diagonal) sizes with 58-inch class (58.0 inches diagonal) and 65-inch class (64.7 inches diagonal) sizes to follow in June. Complete technical specifications for the VT25 Series are now available at http://www.panasonic.com. In March 2010, Panasonic partnered with Best Buy to debut its first-ever Full HD 3D home entertainment system featuring the VIERA TC-P50VT20 Full HD 3D Plasma (50-inch class screen size, 49.9 inches diagonal) exclusively at select Best Buy Magnolia Home Theater stores. All Panasonic VIERA VT25 Series models feature a true Full 1080p 3D image, new, faster screen phosphors (short-stroke) which, when coupled with the VIERA VT25’s 600Hz sub-field drive, outputs alternating imagery at 60 frames per second to each eye. Working in unison with the required active shutter eyewear, the human brain then combines the images and interprets them as a Full HD 3D image for the highest possible realistic visual experience; in effect mimicking what the human eye sees in real life. All Panasonic VIERA VT25 Series models come with one pair of Panasonic 3D active shutter eyewear (TY-EW3D10U). Additional pairs of Panasonic 3D Eyewear are available at retail with an SRP of $149.95. 3D cinema continues to do well at the box office 3D movie titles continue to do well at the box office. Seven of the top ten 3D movies in terms of revenues (U.S. only) were released in the past 12 months. While Avatar is the obvious #1 blockbuster, Alice in Wonderland is now the 6th highest grossing film of all time, (at almost $1 billion worldwide), and Up ranks at #36, facts that suggest much more than just a passing fad, as some critics continue to contend… Next up is Shrek Forever After which was released on May 21, 2010.

  • Physx As a Middleware for Dynamic Simulations in the Container Loading Problem
    Proceedings of the 2018 Winter Simulation Conference M. Rabe, A.A. Juan, N. Mustafee, A. Skoogh, S. Jain, and B. Johansson, eds. PHYSX AS A MIDDLEWARE FOR DYNAMIC SIMULATIONS IN THE CONTAINER LOADING PROBLEM Juan C. Martínez-Franco David Álvarez-Martínez Department of Mechanical Engineering Department of Industrial Engineering Universidad de Los Andes Universidad de Los Andes Carrera 1 Este No. 19A – 40 Carrera 1 Este No. 19A – 40 Bogotá, 11711, COLOMBIA Bogotá, 11711, COLOMBIA ABSTRACT The Container Loading Problem (CLP) is an optimization challenge where the constraint of dynamic stability plays a significant role. The evaluation of dynamic stability requires the use of dynamic simulations that are carried out either with dedicated simulation software that produces very small errors at the expense of simulation speed, or real-time physics engines that complete simulations in a very short time at the cost of repeatability. One such engine, PhysX, is evaluated to determine the feasibility of its integration with the open source application PackageCargo. A simulation tool based on PhysX is proposed and compared with the dynamic simulation environment of Autodesk Inventor to verify its reliability. The simulation tool presents a dynamically accurate representation of the physical phenomena experienced by cargo during transportation, making it a viable option for the evaluation of dynamic stability in solutions to the CLP. 1 INTRODUCTION The Container Loading Problem (CLP) consists of the geometric arrangement of small rectangular items (cargo) into a larger rectangular space (container), but it is not a simple geometry problem. The arrangements of cargo must maximize volume utilization while complying with certain constraints such as cargo fragility, delivery order, etc.

  • The Style of Video Games Graphics: Analyzing the Functions of Visual Styles in Storytelling and Gameplay in Video Games
    The Style of Video Games Graphics: Analyzing the Functions of Visual Styles in Storytelling and Gameplay in Video Games by Yin Wu B.A., (New Media Arts, SIAT) Simon Fraser University, 2008 Thesis Submitted In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the School of Interactive Arts and Technology Faculty of Communication, Art and Technology Yin Wu 2012 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Fall 2012 Approval Name: Yin Wu Degree: Master of Arts Title of Thesis: The Style of Video Games Graphics: Analyzing the Functions of Visual Styles in Storytelling and Gameplay in Video Games Examining Committee: Chair: Carman Neustaedter Assistant Professor School of Interactive Arts & Technology Simon Fraser University Jim Bizzocchi, Senior Supervisor Associate Professor School of Interactive Arts & Technology Simon Fraser University Steve DiPaola, Supervisor Associate Professor School of Interactive Arts & Technology Simon Fraser University Thecla Schiphorst, External Examiner Associate Professor School of Interactive Arts & Technology Simon Fraser University Date Defended/Approved: October 09, 2012 ii Partial Copyright Licence iii Abstract Every video game has a distinct visual style however the functions of visual style in game graphics have rarely been investigated in terms of medium-specific design decisions. This thesis suggests that visual style in a video game shapes players’ gaming experience in terms of three salient dimensions: narrative pleasure, ludic challenge, and aesthetic reward. The thesis first develops a context based on the fields of aesthetics, art history, visual psychology, narrative studies and new media studies. Next it builds an analytical framework with two visual styles categories containing six separate modes. This research uses examples drawn from 29 games to illustrate and to instantiate the categories and the modes.

  • I Creatori Di Resogun E Nex Machina Non Faranno Un Altro Arcade Shooter
    I creatori di Resogun e Nex Machina non faranno un altro arcade shooter Nel passato decennio, il nome Housemarque è diventato sinonimo di giochi dallo stile arcade. Da Super Stardust HD, uscito nei primi tempi della PS3 sul PSN, fino aResogun , uscito nei primi mesi di vita di Playstation 4, lo studio finlandese ha prodotto molti giochi acclamati dalla critica. Negli anni recenti, però, le buone recensioni non sono state accompagnate da vendite al pari. Ad esempio, il recente Nex Machina, un colorato shooter arcade a scorrimento verticale, rappresenta alla perfezione gli stilemi dei giochi Housemarque: creato in collaborazione con la leggenda arcade Eugene Jarvis, ha ricevuto molte lodi da parte della stampa videoludica, e una media di 88 su Metacritic, rendendolo l’ottavo miglior gioco della classifica Playstation 4. Purtroppo, la casa sviluppatrice ha confermato di aver venduto meno di 100.000 copie su Playstation 4 e su PC, andando così in perdita. Stessa sorte è toccata anche a Matterfall, un altro gioco di stampo arcade, uscito lo scorso agosto e che non è stato un grande successo di vendite. Ilari Kuttinen, CEO di Housemarque, ha dichiarato: «Siamo davvero orgogliosi del lavoro che abbiamo svolto con Nex Machina. È stato un lavoro pieno di passione e di amore, anche perché abbiamo lavorato col nostro eroe, Eugene Jarvis. Ci sarebbe piaciuto continuare su questa strada, ma purtroppo non è più possibile. Il prossimo gioco non sarà uno shooter a scorrimento orizzontale o verticale e non sarà focalizzato sulle leaderboard. Sarà qualcosa di diverso rispetto ai giochi che hanno reso lo studio famoso.» Il responsabile editoriale, Mikael Haveri, ha parlato della volontà di spostarsi su generi più popolari e di includere funzionalità multiplayer, ma non ha voluto essere più specifico.
