    Guía del videojuego 3D basado en el engine webgl blend4web «la ciudad perdida». La actualizamos en «Un mundo nuevo». Desde el proyecto n-dimensiones, os presentamos la guia del juego «la ciudad perdida» publicada en septiembre 2018, y como novedad a mayo 2019 la nueva actualización de la portada , así como os presentamos la disponibilidad de su nueva versión que llamamos «un mundo nuevo», esta vez basada en un nuevo engine webgl «verge3d» creado por soft8soft.com. Se pueden jugar desde el portaln-dimensiones y desde cualquier android, al estar ambos disponibles al google play desde mayo 2019. Así como actualmente ya para el mes de septiembre tenemos una serie de videotutoriales para tal nuevo engine en youtube portal. Debido al poco tiempo transcurrido desde el comienzo de este nuevo desarrollo, sólo un par de meses no contiene actualmente la completa lista de técnicas presentada en la primera que ya innovaba con el engine 3d blend4web pero tened un poco de paciencia y en breve lo superará, ya lo hace en velocidad de acceso a los niveles, nada que ver con los largos tiempos requeridos en la primera, así como en facilidad de aprendizaje a quienes deseen diseñar y programar obras 3d relacionadas con todo el potencial presentado en mi trabajo. Lo primero para lograrlo es seguir mis videotutoriales. Los videotutoriales podrán contar con ofrecer todo lo expuesto en mi trabajo y que ya podéis probar de forma anticipada, como la finalidad es que todos podáis publicar como yo vuestros trabajos en la web y crearsus versiones en google play.

    ADAPTIVITY OF 3D WEB CONTENT IN WEB-BASED VIRTUAL MUSEUMS A QUALITY OF SERVICE AND QUALITY OF EXPERIENCE PERSPECTIVE Hussein Bakri A Thesis Submitted for the Degree of PhD at the University of St Andrews 2019 Full metadata for this item is available in St Andrews Research Repository at: http://research-repository.st-andrews.ac.uk/ Please use this identifier to cite or link to this item: http://hdl.handle.net/10023/18453 This item is protected by original copyright Adaptivity of 3D Web Content in Web-Based Virtual Museums A Quality of Service and Quality of Experience Perspective Hussein Bakri This thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) at the University of St Andrews December 2018 Abstract The 3D Web emerged as an agglomeration of technologies that brought the third dimension to the World Wide Web. Its forms spanned from being systems with limited 3D capabilities to complete and complex Web-Based Virtual Worlds. The advent of the 3D Web provided great opportunities to museums by giving them an innovative medium to disseminate collections’ information and associated interpretations in the form of digital artefacts, and virtual reconstructions thus leading to a new revolutionary way in cultural heritage curation, preservation and dissemination thereby reaching a wider audience. This audience consumes 3D Web material on a myriad of devices (mobile devices, tablets and personal computers) and network regimes (WiFi, 4G, 3G, etc.). Choreographing and presenting 3D Web components across all these heterogeneous platforms and network regimes present a significant challenge yet to overcome. The challenge is to achieve a good user Quality of Experience (QoE) across all these platforms.

  • A Web-Based User-Interface for the Exploration of Brain Data
    Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine Department of Computing MEng Computing (Games, Vision and Interaction) The Cortical Explorer: A Web-based user-interface for the exploration of brain data Individual Project Final Report Author: Project Supervisor: Samuel Budd Dr. Bernhard Kainz sfb113 Second Marker: CID: Dr. Emma Robinson 00846033 June 19, 2017 Abstract Recent advances in surface based analysis of the brain have re- sulted in a ground-breaking parcellation (area map) of the brain to be produced. The study that produced this parcellation details the subdivision of the brain's surface into 180 regions per hemisphere, each with different functions and micro-structure. A framework from which neuroscientists can compare different brains is a vital compo- nent of neuroscience and this can be achieved using a parcellation of the brain: defining every brain as being composed of a number of different regions. A challenge currently faced by those that promote surface based brain analysis is exposing the data to other neuro-scientists and the public. Brain data is complex and non-intuitive to work with, acting as a significant barrier to the development of neuro-imaging technologies as the constraints and limitations of the data are rarely understand . The brain and neuroscience is a topic of great interest to the public, however few tools exist to make this highly complex data accessible enough to capture that interest. This project is an effort to solve these problems by building a set of tools that expose this complex data in an accessible environment (specifically to explore the parcellation of the brain).

Acknowledgements I would like to acknowledge Dr. Min Liu and Dr. Lucas Horton for their patient guidance, expert suggestion and enthusiastic support on this report. v Abstract 3D Modeling Tool Selection For Research-based Educational Games: An Experience Yajun Qiu, B.A.; M.A. The University of Texas at Austin, 2016 Supervisor: Min Liu Nowadays, serious games are gaining wide recognition, and many studies have been conducted regarding their implementation. However, the value of serious games in education and research is still subject to debate. Serious game designers might have difficulty selecting appropriate tools for 3D game development since most 3D modeling tools and game engines are designed for developing commercial games. This report highlights the value of research-based educational games and suggests an Education Modeling Tool Framework for 3D modeling tools and game engine selection. The author modifies Petridis and De Freitas’s (2012) framework for serious game engine selection to meet the specialized needs of research-based educational games.

    World Creation as Cultural Commentary A media studies curriculum on the themes present in science fiction and fantasy media and the connections to real-world societies and cultures Ben Kahle Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences Capstone Olin College of Engineering Advisor: Maruta Vitols December 11, 2015 I set out to connect three subjects with this project: my AHS concentration in media studies, science fiction and fantasy media, and education. The intersection of these topics is the result of my project: a curriculum for a media studies course analyzing common themes and structures used in the representation of fictional worlds and their connections to modern and historical cultures and societies. The media I explored and class discussion prompts I created raise a variety of questions and will spur conversation on philosophy, ethics, religion, race, sexuality, and the foundation of them all, identity. This project has provided a unique opportunity for me to go through the experience of analyzing books, film, and television from my perspective as a student, but also from the perspective of a teacher. In forming my exploration into a cohesive curriculum, I worked to create an overarching structure that builds up new ideas and concepts in both a logical and interesting order. As the course concludes, the topics and the relationships among them should begin to crystalize and connect, ideally in a manner that reveals as many new questions as answers and leaves students excited to continue to further pursue the ideas of the course in their own media consumption. The following document includes the course syllabus and lesson plans for a half-semester course that I will co-teach with my advisor, Prof.
