Traditional two-dimensional architectural plans show only aerial or planar information. Eventual spatial characteristics are at best implicit and can only be appreciated if plans are provided in a series. In contrast, computer-aided 3D visualization techniques allow spatial concepts to be conveyed in an easily understandable form. VR allows prospective users of a building to work interactively with proposed designs, by converting 3D building plans into a computer program that operates more or less in the same manner as a computer game. In this way, project information is presented in visual form rather than in text and drawings. More sophisticated modeling permits the cost implications of changes to be assessed in advance. Proposals can be submitted to extreme working conditions. For in...

Governments of the industrial world, you weary giants of flesh and steel, I come from cyberspace, the new home of mind," he thundered. "Cyberspace does not lie within your borders. Our world is different. We are creating a world that all may enter without privilege or prejudice accorded by race, economic power, military force, or station of birth. Where [John Perry Barlow] and other cyber-Utopians found the separation between the real and virtual worlds exciting, however, critics regarded it as a cause for concern. They worried that people were spending too much time online, communing with people they had never even met in person in chat rooms, virtual game worlds and, more recently, on social-networking sites such as MySpace and Facebook. Beyond that, "augmented reality" technology b...

When I got the news release on the new colour trends for 2009/2010 from Sico Paints, I have to admit that I was taken aback at first. The colour schemes are very different from anything we've seen in a long while. Surprising colour combinations like peach with fuchsia, mustard with teal blue, neon green with dark navy and electric blue with deep slate really push the envelope in the decorating arena. I had an immediate visceral reaction when I first saw these colour palettes, which was at first a little perplexing. The fact that the colour schemes reached me at such an emotional level piqued my interest. I think that they are on to something here. This room that is decorated in soft earth tones is given a twist with an accent wall of fuchsia behind the fireplace. At first I wasn't sure ...

Opportunities for more creative and innovative environments for learners continue to develop through distance education. Especially at the post-secondary level, these immersive environments can involve high-end video game technologies to create multi-user virtual worlds that can both replicate and far extend physical classrooms. At San Jose State University's School of Library and Information Science, courses offered in and through Second Life develop both competence and comfort in working with library users. Several useful lessons have also been learned.
