We are the ‘tonux.formaion’ more about us on www.myspace.com This is a screencaptured video from scenes of NUX 3d virtual environment, largest project we ever had. This are the beginning stages only, there are even no plants, all the more visual effects like in commercial games. But NUX won’t be a game, it has to be a 3d virtual environment, where people would be able to communicate, have houses, visit each other’s parties, compete in virtual challenges, create music, graphics etc. All elements as houses, roads, vehicles, landscapes, and these videos, even music — all here is made by us from zero.

Hubert Shum, Taku Komura and Shuntaro Yamazaki Ef?cient computation of strategic movements is essential to control virtual avatars intelligently in computer games and 3D virtual environments. Such a module is needed to control non-player characters (NPCs) to ?ght, play team sports or move through a mass crowd. Reinforcement learning is an approach to achieve real-time optimal control. However, the huge state space of human interactions makes it dif?cult to apply existing learning methods to control avatars when they have dense interactions with other characters. In this research, we propose a new methodology to ef?ciently plan the movements of an avatar interacting with another. We make use of the fact that the subspace of meaningful interactions is much smaller than the whole state space of two avatars. We ef?ciently collect samples by exploring the subspace where dense interactions between the avatars occur and favor samples that have high connectivity with the other samples. Using the collected samples, a ?nite state machine (FSM) called Interaction Graph is composed. At run-time, we compute the optimal action of each avatar by min-max search or dynamic programming on the Interaction Graph. The methodology is applicable to control NPCs in ?ghting and ball-sports games.

Using just her thoughts, this test subject can move a helicopter through a virtual 3D space. She’s helping University of Minnesota researcher Bin He realize his dream of allowing immobilized or speechless individuals to control real objects with their minds. No other research group has, to He’s knowledge, designed a system that allows a person to move objects on a screen at will through 3-D space using noninvasive technology. And the system’s noninvasive character means it could have implications far beyond the hospital. It could possibly help people drive or navigate, or it may find a use in entertainment software.

DESKINVADERS is a software engine which transforms your ordinary Windows desktop into a 3D virtual environment. The entire desktop is seamlessly replaced by a 3D representation of your desktop including shortcut icons, folders and background wallpaper. The transition from a 2D desktop to a 3D desktop is both seamless and harmless, utilising the computers processor only when needed DESKINVADERS does not interfere with other applications running, making the program extremely efficient and capable of running at all times. DESKINVADERS not only mimics and maintains the existing functionality of the Windows desktop, it also adds a few new tricks along the way, providing a whole new platform for interactivity and entertainment to explore.

Abstract Educators have observed an increase leisure-time use of immersive Multi-User Virtual Environment (MUVEs) games by students. Concurrently educational designers have created MUVEs in the academic areas of science, mathematics, social studies, and language arts. The use of MUVEs for the purpose of music education appears to be non-existent. In this thesis project the researcher will review what is presently available in educational MUVEs and subsequently create a MUVE in the form of an interactive music museum in the 3D virtual environment known as Active Worlds (AW). The content and experience in this MUVE will be designed to align with the national standards of the arts in the area of music. Learning and assessment will be the focus of this project. It is the researchers opinion that this MUVE will be of significant benefit to music educators and serve as a model for elementary school music programs.
