The Impacts of Visual Effects on User Perception With a Virtual Human in Augmented Reality Conflict Situations

Virtual humans (VHs) in augmented reality (AR) can provide users an illusory sense of being together in the real space.However, such an illusion can easily break when the augmented VH conflicts (or is overlaid) with the real objects.Recent spatial understanding technology is starting to make physically plausible VHs in response to collisions, but t

Drastic Energy Reduction With gDTX in Low Cost 5G Networks

Base station (BS) sleep modes handle the progressive deactivation of unused hardware components and bring a promising solution to the increasing energy bill and environmental concerns.Taking advantage of the 5G ultra-lean design and spaced synchronization signals, we propose a novel gDTX mode (for next-generation discontinuous transmission), based

The Various Ways in Which Birds Blink

There has, to date, been no systematic study of the various ways in which birds blink.Digital video recordings were made, and studied using still frames, of 524 bird species, mainly in zoos but also in the wild.Videos on 106 species from various sites on the internet were studied, some of which we had also videoed, giving a total of 591 Glitter Glo
