A locomotion interface for swimming and floating in a virtual ocean is part of the interactive installation Swimming Across Pacific artwork. In 'Swimming Pacific' artwork, authors create space collaborative artwork an airplane by having swimmer swim while flying across Ocean. The swimmer's represents transformation into art gallery where medium airplane, much as Misheff transformed Queen Elizabeth II he swam during her journey. By using elements such AV system, food, clothing expression,...

BACKGROUND: Although accurate preoperative diagnosis of lymph node metastasis is essential for optimizing treatment strategies low rectal cancer, the accuracy present diagnostic modalities has room improvement. OBJECTIVE: The study aimed to establish a high-precision method cancer using artificial intelligence. DESIGN: A retrospective observational study. SETTINGS: single center and college engineering in Japan. PATIENTS: Patients with adenocarcinoma who underwent proctectomy, bilateral...

Although people should wash their hands to prevent infection especially in a place where many gather, such as hospital or school, it is difficult teach young children properly. The challenge make them understand why they even if are looking already clean. We propose novel VR hand washing training system for preschool and lower school grade of children. This superimposes germ illustrations on through HMD, germs get removed when move proper motion. Then, can intuitively learn the reason...

Sense of self-agency has been proposed in psychology field, and it is the sense that I am initiator or source action. Human perception should be considered to design a better interface, so agency spotlighted ergonomics robotics interface field. In previous study we concluded affected by both noise delay case an operation between action (input signal) its effect (output signal). this tested situation required multiple inputs like car driving operation. We behavior each for input. The...

Most educational institutions nowadays digitally manage their students' data, which are maintained on servers campus. We intend to use these data in order provide academic guidance. Thus, this study, we forecast future records using smart card based time recording and grade data. a Bayesian network as our forecasting method. In the past student's for end of second year from first through period year. This time, them level soon possible prevent poor results person falling. also revised...

In this study, the authors forecast students' future academic records using past attendance recording data and grade data. We use a Bayesian network as forecasting method. During construction of model, unnecessary variables become noise so lower accuracy. Therefore, to improve accuracy, we used information gain reduce number in model. As result, accuracy improved.

Cytology is one of the decisive factors for early detection cancer. It necessary to have a certain number years experience be able screen tumor cells cytodiagnosis. However, this diagnosis has poor objectivity because there are so many parts that judge's and skill responsible for. In paper, we present new method extract cell nuclei from HE stained images generally used staining Creation digitized objective indicators in cytology. Our extracts using combining input image previously prepared...

The objective of this study is to utilize students' data forecast their future grades, and identify the students who would benefit from educational counseling. To achieve these purposes, we propose a Bayesian network model as forecasting method. A graphical that presents dependence relationship among some variables in graph structure. By calculating probability value using model, it possible make forecasts. Moreover, study, facilitate construction mining introduced.

Most educational institutions nowadays digitally manage their students' data, which are maintained on servers campus. We intend to use these data in order provide academic guidance. Thus, this study, we forecast future records using smart card based time recording and grade data. a Bayesian network as our forecasting method. accordingly revised the variables when designing model. also increased amount of modified method used discretize objective variable, improved accuracy.

A new approach to recover 3-D shape from a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) image is described. With an ideal SEM image, can be recovered using the Fast Marching Method (FMM) applied Eikonal equation. However, when light source direction oblique, correct cannot obtained by usual one-pass FMM. The modifies intensities in original additional of sphere and Neural Network (NN) training. Image modification two degree-of-freedom (DOF) rotation. No assumption made about specific functional form...

Sense of self-agency has been proposed in psychology field, and it is the sense that I am initiator or source action. We discuss on continuous operation to find out transition for a change delay cross-correlation degree noise between an action as input signal its effect output signal. conclude affected by both delay, human gets stronger when higher, acceptable feel enough good operational feeling may be predicted.

The purposes of this study are: to utilize students' data forecast their future grades; and identify the students who would require academic counseling. To achieve these purposes, we propose Bayesian network models as a forecasting method. A is graphical model that presents dependence relationship among some variables in graph structure. By calculating probability value using models, it possible make forecasts. Moreover, study, facilitate construction introduce mining. Data mining process...

Education builds culture of human for many years. The method education has been developed from oral communication and textbook to broadcasting e-learning. According development, children have become be free place, time teacher who gives some advice. On the other hand, opportunities that contact with real things experience is getting decrease. Generally speaking, important such as physical education, art also science. In addition, it usually difficult a good environment at self learning...

One of our main goal is to provide a VR chemical laboratory system as VR-learning for the people, i.e., who have stay in hospital. Therefore we already proposed an interactive model virtual liquid like water which focus on user impression and real-time processing rather than exact behavior simulation. However free fall was simulated rendered with particles simply. In this paper, propose efficient effective method key instead conventional particles. The envelope surface around water.

The touchable online shopping system we propose enables users can touch a virtual commodity with their own hands. One purpose of our proposal is to evaluate whether it easy measure the size and weight intuitively only small-scale low-price elements. Another make general-purpose them for general applications. With such reality, used data-glove vibrators simple force feedback device cover any impressions as interface interference during use. We evaluated commodity. Using this system, found...

The virtual scissors using hands we propose enable users can cut paper with their own hands. One purpose of our proposal is to facilitate implementing different tools simply by changing software parameters. Another make a general-purpose system small-scale input and output devices for general applications, e.g., only thin haptic information force feedback. With such reality (VR) scissors, introduced feedback cover any impressions as interface interference during use. We evaluated whether an...

We have developed an interactive video-based walking exercise system aimed at preventing frailty. In our system, users perform exercises using a stepper while watching video footage of path. The feature is that can create content within the themselves. who are physically capable outdoors not only use but also easily for by pushing dedicated cart system. Thus, since it possible to updating contents on their own, expected motivation be improved.

We have previously proposed an "eye direction exaggeration method." That facilitates rearward visibility by exaggerating the angle of eye when viewing panoramic images with HMD in a seated position. In this study, we improved method. However, sometimes increased discomfort such as VR sickness. also tried to reduce presenting horizontally moving particles and inducing vection stably.
