HC´2005 |
8th International Conference on
Humans and Computers 2005 |
31st Aug. bis 3rd Sep. 2005 |
|
The HC´2005 is
a forum which addresses all aspects of research related to
human and computer. It will be held at the University of Aizu
and the University of Electro-Communications, Tokyo, featuring
for the fourth time a Network Conference connection to enable
participants in Aizu-Wakamatsu and at the Duesseldorf University
of Applied Sciences, Germany, to join the conference. |

Multi-Screen-Installation:
Duesseldorf |
Prof. Dr. Welkert-Schmitt
,
contributions |
|
The multi-screen installation Duesseldorf
has utilized high technology to present life in the city, which
is the state capital of Northrhine-Westphalia: |
|
|
|
Using the latest 3D technologies, virtual
sets, animations and video projections (along with specially composed
audio tracks, some in surround sound), information about Duesseldorf
and events in the field of science is being presented in a variety
of ways and media formats in a multi-screen installation running
several large screens alongside each other and / or making use of
single screens at the same time. |
|
|
|
Besides images of the virtual
and real city of Duesseldorf, large-format images of people from
different countries are also being presented. People who reflect
on their lives, their studies and / or scientific work and who also
reveal their personal motivations. This creates an emotional link
to the individuals and through them to Duesseldorf while also establishing
a technical and dramaturgical counterbalance to the stylized 3D
models. The multi-screen installation displays an unusual combination
of virtual and real elements and consequently draws viewers into
the stories. |
|
|
|
Various layers of information
and storytelling overlap or complement each other in, for instance,
a variety of different storylines. The installation's effect is
no longer exclusively achieved through the films and the reality
they reflect, but also through the combination of the different
forms of presentation and what viewers associate with them. |
|
The principle underlying
how the project has been organized only gradually reveals itself
to viewers and therefore triggers different subjective impressions
and sensations that are aimed at underpinning the intended messages
and statements. |
|
|
|
The multi-screen installation
Duesseldorf is breaking new ground by using innovative technologies
to communicate information and presentation contents as impressively
as possible. The simultaneous nature of the virtual design aspects,
3D elements, spatial audio, the over-dimensional multi-screen displays
and the corresponding contents about Duesseldorf supplements the
DVD: "Touch the Future" about Northrhine-Westphalia as
a location for the sciences. |

CONTROL-NET: Build a Car
Live on Web
|
Prof.
Dr.-Ing. Langmann
,
contributions |
|
The
PLC Remote Lab (http://www.telelabor.de)
makes available an authentic assembly station
as learning environment in the internet, at which
users can work practice-oriented and action-based.
The users develop individual IEC 61131 programs
for pre-determined tasks and control the assembly
of a model car by remote data access and video
cameras. By this, programming and automation knowledge
are studied and more deepened. An user requires
only a PC with internet connection to work with
the station. |
|
The PLC Remote Lab consists of
three main parts:
|
|
E-LEARNING & SIMULATION
|
|
In the operating mode SIMULATION
the learners can test their developed control
programs in a 3D simulation model of the assembly
station. The 3D model behave like the real installation.
It is represented in a controlled 3D viewer
on the web page. In simulation mode many learners
can access to the PLC Remote Lab and can
learn simultaneously. Each user works independently
from other users with his specific programming
environment. There is the complete remote lab
with simulation also as a CD-ROM. So a user
can work off-line by means of a webbrowser
in the remote lab also without Internet .
|
|
LEARNING the BASICS
|
|
An interactive and multimedia
tutorial, with which the users can familiarize
themselves with the basics of the control
programming by the international standard IEC
61131, is integrated into the PLC Remote Lab.
Syntax and semantics of the IEC 61131 programming
languages are explained on the basis of interactive
models. Questions and self tests prepare the
user for the work with the remote lab. The basic
learning tutorial can be downloaded by the user
also on his PC.
|
|
E-LEARNING & DOING
|
|
The core system of the PLC Remote
Lab is a Java-based IEC 61131 programming system
and a web-programmable logic control (WebPLC
- runtime environment for the control programs).
Programs are developed in the languages Instruction
List (IL) and Function Block Diagram (FBD) and
tested in the station. It is supported bit instructions,
arithmetic instructions and comparison instructions
as well as standard function blocks (RS/SR flip
flop, counter, timer) with 16/8 digital in/outputs
and 2 analogous in/outputs.

Virtual Environment of the People Cargo Mover An Innovative
Transport System
|
Prof. Dr. Eng./Univ.
of Tsukuba Herder
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Wörzberger
,
contributions |
|
|
|
The "People-Cargo-Mover"
(PCM) is a high speed train, which runs on a stretch built on the
centre strip of motorways. The PCM runs at the side, enabling traffic
in both directions. The PCM is applicable for public transport in
local and long-distance traffic as well as for cargo. Visualization,
combined with techniques of virtual reality, produces an interactive
presentation at high level. |
