Designing and using game environments as historical learning contexts (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Hiriart, J. (2017, March). Designing and using game environments as historical learning contexts. Presented at Computer Applications and Quantitative Methods in Archaeology Conference (CAA 2017), Georgia State University, Atlanta, GA, USA

The virtual presentation of landscapes in games, thanks to the exponential increase of representational power of digital technologies, has been progressively challenging the capacity of gaming audiences to distinguish virtual environments from real...

Telethrone reconstructed; ongoing testing toward a more natural situated display (2017)
Presentation / Conference
O'Hare, J., Fairchild, A., Wolff, R., & Roberts, D. (2017, February). Telethrone reconstructed; ongoing testing toward a more natural situated display. Presented at The 3rd International AR and VR Conference, Manchester

The concept of supporting ad-hoc or dynamic membership tele-present meetings through pulling up a chair is novel. In real world business situations, people pull up a chair after catching the eye of someone already seated. Telethrone is a situated dis...

Morphing wing application on Hydra Technologies UAS-S4 (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Segui, M., Sugar-Gabor, O., Koreanschi, A., & Botez, R. (2017, February). Morphing wing application on Hydra Technologies UAS-S4. Presented at IASTED Modelling, Identification and Control 2017 Conference, Innsbruck, Austria

This paper presents the aerodynamic results of a morphing wing study performed on the UAS S4 Éhecatl from Hydra Technologies. Only the cruise phase of the aircraft was considered (constant altitude and constant speed). The difference, from an aerodyn...

Key conceptual and practical considerations of LTA in term of LTS (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Al-ossmi, L., & AL-Mimar, H. (2017, February). Key conceptual and practical considerations of LTA in term of LTS. Presented at 7th International Scientific Forum, ISF, Oxford, UK

This paper is based on the assumption that the Land Tenure Administration (LTA) and the Land Tenure Security (LTS) are necessary to safeguard and protect the people rights and hence to provide the security of tenures. In this paper, Iraqi objectives... Read More about Key conceptual and practical considerations of LTA in term of LTS.

Testing the potential of combining functional near-infrared spectroscopy with different virtual reality displays - Oculus Rift and oCtAVE (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Landowska, A., Royle, W., Eachus, P., & Roberts, D. (2017, February). Testing the potential of combining functional near-infrared spectroscopy with different virtual reality displays - Oculus Rift and oCtAVE. Presented at International AR & VR Conference, Manchester, United Kingdom

The aim of this pilot study was to assess the pros and cons of combining mobile neuroimaging with two different styles of highly immersive displays: one that is worn on the head; and the other that is entered. Specifically wearable Functional Near In... Read More about Testing the potential of combining functional near-infrared spectroscopy with different virtual reality displays - Oculus Rift and oCtAVE.

New methodology for longitudinal flight dynamics modelling of the UAS-S4 Ehecatl towards its aerodynamics estimation modelling (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Kuitche, M., Segui, M., Botez, R., Sugar-Gabor, O., & Ghazi, G. (2017, January). New methodology for longitudinal flight dynamics modelling of the UAS-S4 Ehecatl towards its aerodynamics estimation modelling. Presented at AIAA Modeling and Simulation Technologies Conference, AIAA SciTech Forum 2017, Grapevine, Texas, USA

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle modelling has found diverse utilities in both civil and military applications. In order to develop an accurate model of their flight dynamics, it is important to properly estimate their aerodynamics coefficients. For this pu...

Reliability analysis and disproportionate collapse for multi storey cross-laminated timber building (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Mpidi Bita, H., Currie, N., & Tannert, T. (2017, January). Reliability analysis and disproportionate collapse for multi storey cross-laminated timber building. Presented at 16th World Conference on Earthquake Engineering, 16WCEE, Santiago, Chile

This paper focuses on developing finite element models and subsequent sensitivity and reliability analyses to evaluate the probability of disproportionate collapse of a twelve-storey case study Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) building, following extreme...
