Item Designing a Virtual Reality Game for the CAVE(The Eurographics Association, 2006) Livatino, S.; Agerbech, V.; Johansen, A.; Johansen, B.; S. Battiato and G. Gallo and F. StancoVirtual Reality has for many years been a technology which has stagnated in application and software development for games. The applications available for VR environments have increased but they mostly remain related to scientific purposes while computer games in VR are still being developed and only show a part of their actual potential. The game industry has begun to see the possibilities of VR games in a near future with the implementation of some popular games to a CAVE system. However, a full immersion VR solution still remains uncommon and expensive. This paper aims to demonstrate the potential of VR games, and in particular games for the CAVE, now that affordable solutions are close to reach as more powerful hardware is available at low price. The focus is also on the methodology to be pursued while designing a VR game. Results were encouraging and tests performed on a first prototype demonstrates system feasibility.Item Multi-Modal Presentation of Work of Arts in Virtual Reality with Simulation of Multi-Mirror Reflection(The Eurographics Association, 2006) Livatino, S.; Cuciti, D.; Wojciechowki, A.; S. Battiato and G. Gallo and F. StancoThe use of different media such as photography and virtual reality combined with different presentation modalities may provide a user with an extraordinary tool for exploration and appreciation of real work of art. This is especially important in case of time-spatial works-of-art where the problem of functionalities presentation becomes much more demanding. The possibility offered by latest graphics machines has attracted the interest of researchers to investigate this new area. The goal of the presented work is the creation of a multi-modal presentation of a piece of contemporary art, tightening the relation between computer graphics and arts. The focus is on an application that it is capable to cope in real-time with simulation of mirror reflections, including multi-reflections. The results were very encouraging which led to optimistic conclusions with a wide range of options for future works.
