TL;DR: Two important issues to consider in embedding virtual environments into pervasive games: structuring of social interactions and the spatial realism of the VEs are identified.
Abstract: Realistic 3D virtual environments, such as existing city models, have the potential to be used in pervasive games as a passageway between physical and virtual. Smooth attention displacement and transitions between these two realities are largely unexplored in the context of pervasive gameplay. We conducted two field trials using a pervasive live action role playing game to study the effect moving between the virtual and the physical has on co-presence and memorability. Although differences in co-presence during gameplay were small, they highlight the subtleties in the social structuring of pervasive gameplay. Spatial similarity between the physical and virtual environments made the 3D virtual environments more memorable. We identify two important issues to consider in embedding virtual environments into pervasive games: structuring of social interactions and the spatial realism of the VEs.

7 May 2020TL;DR: In this article, a camera device comprising of a first lens designed to form a first light beam and a second sensor arranged in the second light beam when the first beam passes through is described.
Abstract: The invention relates to a camera device comprising: a first lens designed to form a first light beam _ B when the first light beam _ A passes through; a first sensor arranged in the first light beam_ B, which is designed to convert the first light beam _ B impinging on the first sensor into first ambient image data; at least a second lens designed to form a second light beam _ B when the secondlight beam _ A passes through; at least a second sensor arranged in the second light beam _ B and designed to convert the second light beam _ B impinging on the at least a second sensor into second ambient image data, the first sensor and the at least a second sensor being arranged in a common housing, the first sensor being arranged outside the second light beam _ B and the second sensor being arranged outside the second light beam _ B; at least a second sensor is arranged outside the first light beam _ B; the first lens and the first sensor and the at least second lens and the at least one second sensor are arranged such that the first light beam _ B and the second light beam _ B partially overlap in the housing. The invention also relates to a driver assist system and a vehicle.

30 Sep 2020TL;DR: In this paper, a method, a computer program code, and an apparatus for processing environmental data of an environment of a vehicle is described, which is further related to a driver assistance system, which makes use of such a method or apparatus.
Abstract: The invention is related to a method, a computer program code, and an apparatus for processing environmental data of an environment of a vehicle. The invention is further related to a driver assistance system, which makes use of such a method or apparatus, and to an autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle comprising such a driver assistance system. Depth data of the environment of the vehicle are received (10) from at least one depth sensor of the vehicle. Furthermore, thermal data of the environment of the vehicle are received (11) from at least one thermal sensor of the vehicle. The depth data and the thermal data are then fused (12) to generate fused environmental data.
