The document discusses elements that contribute to creating a sense of place in virtual environments. It suggests that photorealism alone may not be enough, and that atmosphere, interactive construction, and culture play important roles in establishing place. Eight criteria are presented for "cyber-placemaking" including setting, engagement, location, authenticity, adaptability, experiences, choice, and memorable qualities. However, the document notes that places gain unique character over time and usage, and imply occasions and settings beyond what criteria can capture. Case studies demonstrate how virtual reconstructions can interpret past cultures and enhance understanding through interactive elements, tasks, and artifacts that convey meaning.

This document discusses how GIS has helped develop people's innate spatial thinking abilities and sense of place. It has allowed spatial perspectives to be "tweaked" and stimulated curiosity about the world. Now, GIS users think spatially and see maps and locations as interesting and meaningful. Their world is richer for virtual exploration of environments using GIS tools. What really connects GIS users is their developed sense of distance, direction, and spatial vocabulary from using maps and coordinates frequently. This spatial perspective allows easy interaction and understanding between GIS professionals.Creating Thick space - maps and information

This document discusses the effects of India's 2016 demonetization initiative. It begins with an overview and definitions of demonetization. It then discusses the historical precedents of demonetization in other countries. The document outlines the reasons given by the Indian government for demonetization, including reducing black money, fake currency, and pushing for digital transactions. It notes both positive impacts like increased tax collections but also pitfalls like unpreparedness and negative effects on small businesses and jobs. It questions whether demonetization actually achieved its goals of curbing black money and corruption.Prowess-ing the Past: Considering the Audience

The aim of this presentation was to shift the focus of 3D modeling in archaeology and cultural heritage to consider the ways in which a more active motivation and engagement of their users (whether professionals or general public) might lead to the long-term sustainability of the models and visualizations. Currently the life expectancy of 3D models in installations or on-line is generally quite short. My argument is that engagement with the models should be measured not so much how many users/visitors a model receives, but in how long and through how many re-visits the users wish to visit the same model. I am guessing that for most users, the visit is a one-time short event. I identify five major strategy foci that might lead to longer and more specific usage of the models and thus to their longer-term sustainability; these are: 1) active user participation, 2) meaningful exploration, 3) cultural presence, 4) multi sensorial experience, and 5) the education of attention, with greatest emphasis given to the latter. I end with idea that these five foci in fact could all be embraced within the gamification of the models, not necessarily as video games, but as media-rich non-linear narratives that go by various terms, such as Walking Simulator, Interactive Digital Stories, and Alternative Reality Games that take advantage of a mixed environment of Augmented and Mixed Reality as well as the more traditional Virtual Reality modeling. I finally point out that such gamification could potentially make powerful contributions to draw attention to socio-political and ethical issues of cultural heritage and archaeology.

1. Virtual heritage utilizes virtual reality and mixed reality to represent cultural artifacts and spaces. However, interaction design studies and consideration of end-users are often lacking.
2. Cultural presence refers to a visitor's sense of being in a foreign time or place when experiencing virtual environments related to different cultures. However, virtual places can be highly static and lack meaningful interactions.
3. Evaluating virtual heritage projects poses challenges regarding preservation of content over time and platforms, as well as training staff and users. Museums and cultural institutions are still developing strategies for utilizing augmented, virtual and mixed reality technologies.Avatar Based Innovation End

The document is a dissertation that examines how users collaboratively design virtual places and artifacts in virtual worlds like Second Life. It presents a theoretical framework drawing from social semiotics and design research. The methodology includes case studies of three virtual world design projects analyzed using social semiotics and multimodal discourse analysis. The analysis focuses on how users co-produce meaning and design virtual places by using semiotic resources like 3D objects, textures, and scripts within a collaborative design process.Leipzig eHumanities 23 October 2013 talk

1. The document discusses using virtual environments to teach history through interaction. It suggests examining games to understand why they are engaging, as games can provide interactive learning environments.
2. However, the author notes that while games are good at engagement, they often lack cultural significance present in history. The author provides some examples of both good and bad uses of games for history.
3. There are several problems discussed, such as a lack of incorporating inhabitants' points of view, incomplete usage of historical principles, and difficulties representing rituals and sensory aspects of history through current technology. The author suggests some potential solutions, such as role-playing as historical figures or modifying cities/events based on historical theories.Games, XR, DH-Graz talk, 06.10.2021

Social learning is inter-active but Culture is also materially embedded or embodied.
To teach and disseminate immersive Digital History and Virtual Heritage, interaction and the learning that results from that interaction is crucial (see Mosaker, 2001).
To improve interaction, examine games and why they are so successful; academic literature suggests games are best examples of interactive digital engagement (references in Champion, 2008 et al.).
Game-based interaction has to be modified for Digital heritage-virtual heritage.architectural_statement

The author became interested in architecture as a child through imaginative play with building blocks. Architecture appealed to him because it requires continuous learning across many disciplines in order to design spaces that meet people's needs. The author sees architecture as a form of art and design that can communicate with and benefit people. However, there is often a gap between ideal designs and real-world constraints. The author aims to use architecture to provide enlightening spaces that stimulate curiosity and encourage new ways of thinking and communication between people. He designs buildings that reflect their environments and react to how people use and interact within spaces, allowing flexibility so people can enjoy their lives and activities.20110203 realities

This document discusses conceptualizing places using spatial clustering and tag co-occurrence analysis of geotagged photos on Flickr. The researchers used DBSCAN spatial clustering to group photos by location at different scales. They then analyzed tag co-occurrence within clusters to understand how tags help define places. Their analysis showed tags that frequently occur together can reveal details about places that may be obscured by very common tags applied broadly. Future work could use gazetteers to better define semantic relationships between co-occurring tags.Nethood Aesop09 Liverpool

This document discusses planning and design practice in virtual spaces such as online communities. It argues that online spaces have emerged as places with communities and identities, similarly to physical places. It suggests that planning methods used for physical spaces, such as Lynch's taxonomy of images and cognitive mapping, can also be applied to virtual spaces. The document advocates for planners to get involved in designing user interfaces, evaluating online place quality, and supporting hybrid online-physical communities through social software design.Designing Outstanding AR Experiences

The document discusses tangible interaction design and how it relates to space and place. It presents a framework for designing tangible interfaces that are embedded in real space. The framework focuses on how tangible interfaces take up physical space, how users must move through real space to interact with them, and how interactions can become performative when observable to others in shared spaces. The framework also addresses how software defines virtual structures while physical space defines physical constraints, and how allowing bodily rituals can enhance user experiences.

The document discusses the relationship between narrative and space/place in three main ways:
1. It defines the concepts of space and place, explaining that space is mathematical while place incorporates social and cultural meaning. Narratives can help create a sense of place or mourn its loss.
2. It examines the referential connection between stories and real-world locations, where referencing actual places in legends or novels can blend fiction and nonfiction. Digital technologies now allow stories to be mapped to physical locations.
3. It explores the physical connection between narrative and space through performances that commemorate real historical events in the actual locations they occurred. Museum exhibits represent space to tell stories that happened elsewhere.Course ObjectiveExplore architectural space and form in various.docx

soft architecture. Sensors that trigger the opening and closing of doors
and windows, the movement of walls, and even the lowering and raising
of floors and ceilings produce the personalized spaces that characterize
soft architecture. Theatrical stages have had this capability for some
time, and thus have a lot to teach the designer seeking to produce soft
architecture.
Traditional Japanese architecture is an early version of soft architecture.
The ability to change the use and feel of a space by simply moving a rice
paper screen and rearranging the mats on the floor is a manual, low-tech
version of soft architecture. A more recent manifestation of softness was
attempted with the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris (1977) (Figure 93).
It was to have an interior in which many walls and floors were movable.
Unfortunately that degree of flexibility was unjustified. Consequently the
building was renovated in 2000 to increase its capacity and efficiency by
hardening it.
In soft architecture each force applied to it creates content that has
form, as water poured into a vase has form (Ezra Pound). The water-
generated Blur building by Herzog and Meuron poetically illustrates the
new frontier of soft or reflexive architecture. The term now refers to any
architecture that is not finite or fixed.

Kubernetes won the containers orchestration war. But has it made deploying your apps easier?
Let's explore some of Kubernetes extensive app developer tooling, but mainly what the PaaS space looks like in 2025; 18 years after Heroku made it popular.
Is Heroku still around? What about Cloud Foundry?
And what are those new comers (fly.io, railway, porter.sh, etc.) worth?
Did the Cloud giants replace them all?

Place invirtualenvironments
- 1. Chapter 16: Dialing Up The PastPowerPoint Presentation byWilliam Dunbar andJasmine Demong
- 2. Place: Real and VirtualPlace is the foundation for all virtual heritage projects; a binding theme within virtual prohectsThe nature of place is explored in multiuser games and RPGsUsers tend to be doing more than moving and looking aroundHow are these two similar?
- 3. Finding PlaceWhat creates a strong sense of place?Photorealism may have some value, but places are remembered more through atmosphereInteractive construction support the notion of place through shared customsPlaces tend to use composition of objects, spaces and conditions to evoke emotions and associations (London and fog)Culture becomes a feedback loop in place, and established a relation with the visitor
- 4. Elements of Place-makingEight criteria have been suggested for cyber-placemakingSetting for an event; engaging; provides relative location; provides authenticity; is adaptable; affords experiences; affords choice and control over transitions; inherently memorableAre those the only criterion needed?Missing key features of placeThis virtual recreation of The Great Wall of China meets the 8 criteria discussed above, but could there be more that makes it a virtual place than can be said with those criteria?
- 5. OTHER Elements of Place-makingPlaces are not just memorable, but evocativePlace gains unique character over time and through usagePlace implies a certain type of setting, of occasion, of an instant in timePlaces define other places through other artifactsPlace is artifactually definedArtifacts have past meaning that defines current use
- 6. Places and FunctionsA method of representing human culture within virtual places is within a hermeneutic dimension or capacityHermeneutic = affords an actively engaged interpretation of the lives and intentions of past inhabitantsSeveral virtual environment types (Pg. 341)Spatial Visualization (location, navigation)Activity-based (memorable, modable)Hermeneutic (symbolic, can represent home)When the environment is shaped and shapes interactions that are informed by cultural learning, then a place can be said to be a world
- 7. Interpretative Reconstructions of PlaceA reconstruction of a given historical place must try to give us an image that the original inhabitants would have seenMakes visitors to the place participants with interactive elementsMake use of the original arrangement of furniture within a given placeAllows the visitor to develop an awareness of the environment around them
- 8. Case Study: Palenque ProjectConstruction of a place that contains interactive materials that can convey meaning more clearlyDigital info is abstract and suggestive rather than completeDigital environment employs usage of tasks, events, artifacts and interactorsto enhance the users understanding of the projectA cursory search of Google images found this reconstruction of a temple at Palenque.
