Enhanced Environments is a new method for using real-time information to eventually support large-scale, climatic virtual environments that foster virtual life and natural eco-behavioral conditions. The purpose ... continue
In 2006, researchers from the School of Engineering at the University of Birmingham took part in a new survey of Europe’s first artificial wreck, the Leander Class Frigate HMS Scylla, resting on the sea bed off Whitsand Bay near Plymouth. Prof. Bob Stone and Eugene Ch’ng joined forces with colleagues from the University of Plymouth, the National Marine Aquarium (NMA) and the Marine Biological Association (MBA). The group departed for the wreck site from Plymouth’s historic Barbican onboard the UK National, a boat skippered by Prof. Richard Linford, Head of the University of Plymouth’s Department of Communication & Electronic Engineering ... continue
Virtual Kinka Kuji was a virtual reality landscape of a famous Japanese temple in Kyoto Japan built in 1998. While the model of the temple was more of a artistic interpretation the research focus was upon creating emergent artificial life within the landscape.
Researchers took a game system called "Unreal" modeled the temple and grounds, then created an artificial life 'firefly' that would come out at dusk and fly through the forests. Each firefly was connected to an American stock on the NASDAQ market, and depending upon how the stock was performing dictated much of the firefly's behavior.
