Base game Manual V0.4 Environment Remove any objects in the playing area that you might touch or hit while playing with your body. Please also make sure that lamps or fans are not in the playing area. If you are at the edge of the playing area, do not make any big movements, otherwise you could touch the walls with your body or hands/controllers. It is best to stand. Step movements are not necessary during the game. You can move and rotate completely with the controllers. Technical requirements To play the game, you need Virtual Reality headset (VR headset). Without VR glasses, the game will not run. A (free) Steam account is also required. Also installed must be the VR software "SteamVR" (when using HTC VIVE or the Valve Index) or the additional software "Windows Mixed Reality for SteamVR" for the use of Windows Mixed Reality glasses on Steam with "SteamVR". Before the first launch, a room measuring should also have been done in SteamVR (when using the HTC VIVE or the Valve Index). When using Windows Mixed Reality glasses, there is an option to change the position of the floor from the height. The controllers of the VR headset should also be connected to the VR system and be charged. The game Container You start the game in the container and go to the selected construction site through the door. Later, you can start different locations here depending on the existing DLC. You can now set options to one of the boards by moving the switch accordingly.

Virtual Reality Headsets
VIRTUAL REALITY HEADSETS LILY CHIANG VR HISTORY • Many companies (Virtuality, Sega, Atari, Sony) jumped on the VR hype in the 1990s; but commercialization flopped because both hardware and software failed to deliver on the promised VR vision. • Any use of the VR devices in the 2000s was limited to the military, aviation, and medical industry for simulation and training. • VR hype resurged after Oculus successful KickStarter campaign; subsequently acquired by Facebook for $2.4 bn. • Investments rushed into the VR industry as major tech firms such as Google, Samsung, and Microsoft and prominent VC firms bet big on the VR revolution.

Chapter 2 3D User Interfaces: History and Roadmap
30706 02 pp011-026 r1jm.ps 5/6/04 3:49 PM Page 11 CHAPTER 2 3D3D UserUser Interfaces:Interfaces: HistoryHistory andand RoadmapRoadmap Three-dimensional UI design is not a traditional field of research with well-defined boundaries. Like human–computer interaction (HCI), it draws from many disciplines and has links to a wide variety of topics. In this chapter, we briefly describe the history of 3D UIs to set the stage for the rest of the book. We also present a 3D UI “roadmap” that posi- tions the topics covered in this book relative to associated areas. After reading this chapter, you should have an understanding of the origins of 3D UIs and its relation to other fields, and you should know what types of information to expect from the remainder of this book. 2.1. History of 3D UIs The graphical user interfaces (GUIs) used in today’s personal computers have an interesting history. Prior to 1980, almost all interaction with com- puters was based on typing complicated commands using a keyboard. The display was used almost exclusively for text, and when graphics were used, they were typically noninteractive. But around 1980, several technologies, such as the mouse, inexpensive raster graphics displays, and reasonably priced personal computer parts, were all mature enough to enable the first GUIs (such as the Xerox Star). With the advent of GUIs, UI design and HCI in general became a much more important research area, since the research affected everyone using computers. HCI is an 11 30706 02 pp011-026 r1jm.ps 5/6/04 3:49 PM Page 12 12 Chapter 2 3D User Interfaces: History and Roadmap 1 interdisciplinary field that draws from existing knowledge in perception, 2 cognition, linguistics, human factors, ethnography, graphic design, and 3 other areas.

Implementing FPGA Design with the Opencl Standard
Implementing FPGA Design with the OpenCL Standard WP-01173-3.0 White Paper Utilizing the Khronos Group’s OpenCL™ standard on an FPGA may offer significantly higher performance and at much lower power than is available today from hardware architectures such as CPUs, graphics processing units (GPUs), and digital signal processing (DSP) units. In addition, an FPGA-based heterogeneous system (CPU + FPGA) using the OpenCL standard has a significant time-to-market advantage compared to traditional FPGA development using lower level hardware description languages (HDLs) such as Verilog or VHDL. 1 OpenCL and the OpenCL logo are trademarks of Apple Inc. used by permission by Khronos. Introduction The initial era of programmable technologies contained two different extremes of programmability. As illustrated in Figure 1, one extreme was represented by single core CPU and digital signal processing (DSP) units. These devices were programmable using software consisting of a list of instructions to be executed. These instructions were created in a manner that was conceptually sequential to the programmer, although an advanced processor could reorder instructions to extract instruction-level parallelism from these sequential programs at run time. In contrast, the other extreme of programmable technology was represented by the FPGA. These devices are programmed by creating configurable hardware circuits, which execute completely in parallel. A designer using an FPGA is essentially creating a massively- fine-grained parallel application. For many years, these extremes coexisted with each type of programmability being applied to different application domains. However, recent trends in technology scaling have favored technologies that are both programmable and parallel. Figure 1.

Exploring Telepresence in Virtual Worlds
Exploring Telepresence in Virtual Worlds Dan Zhang z3378568 A thesis in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Information Systems and Technology Management UNSW Business School March 2018 PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Zhang First name: Dan Other name/s: Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: School of Information Systems and Technology Management Faculty: UNSW Business School Title: Exploring telepresence in virtual worlds Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) Virtual worlds, as the computer-based simulated environments incorporating various representations of real-world elements, have great potential to not only transform the structures and operation modes of various industries but also change the way people work, do business, learn, play, and communicate. However, the existing sharp distinctions between virtual worlds and the real world also bring critical challenges. To address these challenges, the concept of telepresence—the user’s feeling of ‘being there’ in the virtual environments—is adopted as it is considered a direct and essential consequence of a virtual world’s reality. To cultivate this feeling, it is essential to understand what factors can lead to telepresence. However, some literature gaps on telepresence antecedents impede the understanding of telepresence antecedents and affect the adoption of the telepresence construct in the design of virtual worlds. To address these issues, this study explores the concept of telepresence in the context of virtual worlds. Specifically, by adopting means-end chain (MEC) theory, the study aims to investigate the antecedents of telepresence; to reveal the inter-relationships among these antecedents by building a hierarchical structure; and to develop an innovative approach for user segmentation to understand in-depth individual differences in perceiving telepresence.
