Augmented reality meeting table: a novel multi-user interface for architectural design

Immersive virtual environments have received widespread attention as providing possible replacements for the media and systems that designers traditionally use, as well as, more generally, in providing support for collaborative work. Relatively little attention has been given to date however to the problem of how to merge immersive virtual environments into real world work settings, and so to add to the media at the disposal of the designer and the design team, rather than to replace it. In this paper we report on a research project in which optical see-through augmented reality displays have been developed together with prototype decision support software for architectural and urban design. We suggest that a critical characteristic of multi user augmented reality is its ability to generate visualisations from a first person perspective in which the scale of rendition of the design model follows many of the conventions that designers are used to. Different scales of model appear to allow designers to focus on different aspects of the design under consideration. Augmenting the scene with simulations of pedestrian movement appears to assist both in scale recognition, and in moving from a first person to a third person understanding of the design.

Exploring intercultural awareness through songs

This paper intends to explore the way in which music can be used as a teaching resource in order to enable the development of cultural awareness in the target language. There are presented several reasons for making use of songs during English lessons. Some of the students who have recently performed their pre-service teacher training practice have been interviewed in order to find out whether they have used songs during teaching activities and if they are aware of the teaching possibilities provided by songs. (DIPF/Orig.)Die vorliegende Arbeit [...] nimmt sich vor, die Art und Weise zu erkunden, in der die Musik als Lehrmittel verwendet werden kann, um die Entwicklung des kulturellen Bewusstseins in der Zielsprache zu ermöglichen. Es werden mehrere Gründe für die Verwendung der Lieder im Englischunterricht genannt. Einige der Studierenden, die vor kurzem ihr Schulpraktikum durchgeführt haben, wurden interviewt, um herauszufinden, ob sie Lieder in ihrem Unterricht verwendet haben und ob sie sich der Möglichkeiten, die die Verwendung der Lieder im Unterricht bieten, bewusst sind.
