Assessing the adoption of the Yavuz Battleship application in the mixed reality environment using the technology acceptance model

This study concentrates on developing a mixed reality (MR) app for the historic ship Yavuz Battleship, also known as “SMS Goeben,” and assessing its acceptance using the technology acceptance model (TAM). Mixed reality blends real and virtual environments to create novel spatial experiences, bridging the gap between the virtual and real worlds. This technology enables designers to craft immersive, interactive environments that enhance users' perception of physical reality. The study employs a multi-stage methodology, including historical research, 3D model creation, digital information integration, Unity program transfer, MR environment development with the Mixed Reality Toolkit (MRTK), and implementation as a Microsoft Hololens 2 app. TAM is employed to gauge MR acceptance. Evaluation results affirm the Yavuz MR app's TAM alignment, providing structural support for similar architectural science inquiries. The research underscores the need to explore MR's architectural applications and TAM's role in measuring MR acceptance.

Green Gateways: a concept for decisions in Circular-Oriented Economies

Industrial technologies have evolved towards circular-oriented manufacturing. New approaches in the management of production systems are needed to guarantee the success of such a circular approach. This paper identifies three research questions related to the complexities of decision-making within CEs and defines the concept of Green Gateways in the circular economy. A Green Gateway is a type of decision that supports to realizing the full potential of products and materials. Indeed, the potential value of products and materials must be assessed and leveraged and the concept of Green Gateway will be useful to identify common decisions and to define a common framework in the future. The integration of digital information and digital twins of products, processes, and circular value and supply chains emerges as a key factor in guiding decision-makers effectively, especially for Green Gateways where adequate information, tools and methods must be used to manage value retention options, product flows, production and pricing decisions jointly with the multiple objectives of profitability and sustainability. Additionally, this paper explores specific examples of circular economy use cases, drawing attention to their similarities and highlighting key insights.

ExS-GAN: Synthesizing Anti-Forensics Images via Extra Supervised GAN.

So far, researchers have proposed many forensics tools to protect the authenticity and integrity of digital information. However, with the explosive development of machine learning, existing forensics tools may compromise against new attacks anytime. Hence, it is always necessary to investigate anti-forensics to expose the vulnerabilities of forensics tools. It is beneficial for forensics researchers to develop new tools as countermeasures. To date, one of the potential threats is the generative adversarial networks (GANs), which could be employed for fabricating or forging falsified data to attack forensics detectors. In this article, we investigate the anti-forensics performance of GANs by proposing a novel model, the ExS-GAN, which features an extra supervision system. After training, the proposed model could launch anti-forensics attacks on various manipulated images. Evaluated by experiments, the proposed method could achieve high anti-forensics performance while preserving satisfying image quality. We also justify the proposed extra supervision via an ablation study.

Metro Engineering Project Schedule Optimization Based on Wireless Network Communication and BIM Model Algorithm

BIM (Building Information Modeling) is to create models based on various related information in construction projects and use simulation virtual technology to model actual building information. It is not only the integration of digital information but also the application of digital information in engineering construction. Digital models can be used to plan and simulate the whole process of construction projects scientifically and accurately. In the process of project construction, wireless network communication technology can provide a good basis for collaboration, which is essential for the control of project progress, task scheduling, and systematic communication between all parties. This article introduces the LTE wireless network communication technology and network coverage plan, summarizes the cost and schedule control principles of construction projects, analyzes the factors that affect the construction schedule in subway construction, and introduces the application of BIM technology in subway construction schedule control. Taking the construction of Section XX of Line 1 of City A as an example, a simulation experiment was carried out, and the optimization effect was evaluated with SPI and CPI indicators. The final experimental results show that it is meaningful to use the BIM model algorithm to optimize the subway project. In the simulation experiment, the corresponding construction period saving rate after completion of the project is 6.94%.

O modelo de escola que temos prepara os jovens para viverem na sociedade atual?

Sociedade pós-moderna, pós-industrial, sociedade líquida, pós-humano, hiperesfera, inteligência artificial, Web 3.0, indústria 4.0, sociedade do cansaço, ambientação em Marte. Em meio a esta convulsão social, urge refletir sobre o papel da instituição escola na atualidade. Será que ela cumpre sua função primeira, a saber, preparar os jovens para inserção no mundo do trabalho e desenvolver uma consciência social? Como auxiliar as futuras gerações a enfrentar os enormes desafios que se apresentarão em um modelo social que ainda não conhecemos, num mundo no qual a única certeza é a incerteza, onde tudo que era sólido se liquefez? Será suficiente a integração das Tecnologias Digitais da Informação e Comunicação - TDIC nos currículos para que a escola possa resolver os incomensuráveis problemas que enfrenta? Morin afirma que “os homens sempre elaboram falsas concepções de si próprios, do que fazem, do que devem fazer, do mundo onde vivem”. Desta maneira, caberia à escola desvendar a ilusão e ter a coragem de praticar a parresía dos gregos que significa ter a coragem de dizer a verdade sobre si mesmo. A escola deverá ter a coragem de enxergar a si mesma, percebendo suas fragilidades. O modelo árvore, sequencial, linear, imposto ao longo dos tempos já não contempla uma sociedade rizomática, na qual há a multiplicidade dos múltiplos. O mundo jamais será igual após o advento das TDIC. A inteligência artificial e a simbiótica relação entre homem e máquina mudarão radicalmente a maneira de o humano ser, estar e perceber o mundo. Não haverá como o homem competir com a máquina. Desta maneira, não caberá à escola formar tecnocratas para o mundo do trabalho, mas resgatar aquilo que o humano tem de melhor, que é sua subjetividade, sua capacidade de sentir, sua singularidade, sua unicidade em meio à multiplicidade.

Effectiveness of Maintenance and Inspection Process using Augmented Reality Application

Augmented reality is the integration of digital information and user’s real life environment. It overlays virtual information on top of existing environment to user’s perception towards the reality. Technicians and engineers in automotive industry at workshops today have mountains of data and information for diagnostics and repair. The worker must search for the information, and then manually check to see if he can assess the problem and repair what is not functional. Worker must refer to a printed drawing of the testing body, with the inspection parts marked on this drawing. Augmented reality application is proposed to replace these conventional references to eliminate their disadvantages. The objectives of this paper are to develop an augmented reality applicationto and evaluate the effectiveness of augmented reality application developed. Vuforia, Blender and Unity were used to develop augmented reality application due to their easy to use features. The application developed will be tested by respondents to conduct inspection and maintenance process using both conventional references and augmented reality application developed. Survey will also be carried out to evaluate the acceptance level of locals towards augmented reality application as well. The technology has proven to be popular in the automotive industry.

ПЕРСПЕКТИВНІ ШЛЯХИ ЗАСТОСУВАННЯ ДОПОВНЕНОЇ РЕАЛЬНОСТІ У КАРТОГРАФІЇ

Augmented reality (AR) is the integration of digital information with the user’s environment in real time. AR software use in many different ways and for the needs of cartography too. This technology may be useful for the development of navigational mobile applications and actions with static (paper) maps. There are two main operating modalities for implementation of augmented reality in applications: by markers and by the positioning of customer and surrounding objects (by azimuths determination between customer’s device and real objects). The first way is applied for static maps when another way is applied for navigational mobile applications. Augmented reality provides at least six opportunities, which create better options for working with design and content of maps for cartographers. This technology also provides the new experience in the work on maps for customers. The advantages of using augmented reality in cartography are the partial equation of static maps to geographical information systems, adaptability of cartographic images to the needs of users, improving the quality of design and content possibilities of maps and making actions with maps more attractive for customers. However, this technology is not without disadvantages, which connected with the development of AR-applications and requirements to smartphones. In addition, this article reveals aspects of the creation of augmented maps in cartographic companies.

The Potential of Augmented Reality Technology for Pre-Construction

Construction project management covering various aspects such as planning, coordinating, directing, scheduling, monitoring and control. Pre-construction services are used in planning a construction project before the actual construction begins. However, various problems happened at the pre-construction planning stage. This paper present an overview of the major problems in pre-construction stage and look at the potential of using augmented reality technology to overcome those problems. It was found that, at the pre-construction stage, good planning can not be done by the project teams especially to engineers and contractors due to the lack of supporting data, particularly when it involves information relating to underground utilities such as telecommunications, gas, electricity, water and sewerage. There are several approaches that can been undertaken in pre-construction services, especially in making an informed decision. The potential technology is using Augmented Reality (AR)-based approach in pre-construction service. Augmented reality is the integration of digital information with the users environment in real-time. It was one of the tool that support the concept of cyber-physical systems (CPS). CPS is the integration systems between computational network and physical processes. Currently, there are many fields utilised the application of AR such as medical, militiry, vehicles, gaming and navigation. This paper presents the applications of an AR-based approach to medical and gaming industry and explore the potential of using AR in pre-construction. The finding shows that the AR is a potential decision support tool that will speed up the planning process of the project team in the pre-construction phase in real-time.
