ANNOTE = {The author proposes a synthesis of theories of
perception, image analysis and computer graphics as
a foundation for the further development of
realistic computer animation based on the point of
view of the observer of the simulated world rather
than on analysis of the physics of the
simulation. Various aspects of perspective are
explored, and the author shows how projection on a
flat plane can fail to account for our intuitive
expectation of how appearances change with
distance. He also derives a way of describing truly
moving pictures, i.e. those that are not created
through a sequence of still frames.}

ANNOTE = {A wavelet-based image-encoding is described which,
when used in conjunction with the Difference Engine
(a custom-designed VLSI display processor) allows us
to reconstruct an image in real-time without the
need to set each pixel explicitly. The image is
compressed using a quadratic spline-wavelet
transform; when reconstructing, an image-adaptive
instruction generator attempts to produce the
minimal instruction stream to give a good
reproduction. The wavelet coefficients are used to
decide which regions of the detail images should be
retained in the multi-resolution analysis (MRA). A
decision is made for each scan-line as to whether it
is more economical, in terms of rendering time, to
use the `truncated MRA' or to set the pixels
directly. The above approach provides a significant
gain over standard image reconstruction/rendering
schemes}

ANNOTE = {The predictive hierarchical level of detail
optimization algorithm of Mason and Blake is
experimentally evaluated in the form of a practical
application to hierarchical radiosity. In a novel
approach the recursively subdivided patch hierarchy
generated by a perceptually refined hierarchical
radiosity algorithm is treated as a hierarchical
level of detail scene description. In this way we
use the Mason-Blake algorithm to successfully
maintain constant frame rates during the interactive
rendering of the radiosity-generated scene. We
establish that the algorithm is capable of
maintaining uniform frame rendering times, but that
the execution time of the optimization algorithm
itself is significant and is strongly dependent on
frame-to-frame coherence and the granularity of the
level of detail description. To compensate we
develop techniques which effectively reduce and
limit the algorithm execution time: We restrict the
execution times of the algorithm to guard against
pathological situations and propose simplification
transforms that increase the granularity of the
scene description, at minimal cost to visual
quality. We demonstrate that using these techniques
the algorithm is capable of maintaining interactive
frame rates for scenes of arbitrary
complexity. Furthermore we provide guidelines for
the appropriate use of predictive level of detail
optimization algorithms derived from our practical
experience.}

ANNOTE = {To pre-process a scene for the purpose of visibility
culling during walkthroughs it is necessary to solve
visibility from all the elements of a finite
partition of viewpoint space. Many conservative and
approximate solutions have been developed that solve
for visibility rapidly. The idealised exact solution
for general 3D scenes has often been regarded as
computationally intractable. Our exact algorithm for
finding the visible polygons in a scene from a
region is a computationally tractable pre-process
that can handle scenes of the order of millions of
polygons. The essence of our idea is to represent
3-D polygons and the stabbing lines connecting them
in a 5-D Euclidean space derived from Plcker space
and then to perform geometric subtractions of
occluded lines from the set of potential stabbing
lines.We have built a query architecture around this
query algorithm that allows for its practical
application to large scenes. We have tested the
algorithm on two different types of scene: despite a
large constant computational overhead, it is highly
scalable, with a time dependency close to linear in
the output produced.}

mediation in virtual environments (VEs) used for
cultural storytelling. A VE was created in which a
traditional San story was told. Two forms of
mediation were used: visual and audio. Four versions
of the VE were implemented, differentiated by the
types of mediation included. An experiment was
conducted, during which measurements of presence,
story involvement and enjoyment were taken. Audio
mediation was found to have a positive effect on
presence. Visual mediation was found to increase
story involvement, which is valuable in conveying a
narrative successfully. Both audio mediation and the
interaction between the mediations increased
enjoyment. Overall, the use of subtle mediations
that appear natural in the VE setting was shown to
be effective.}

ANNOTE = {When creating virtual reality environments a large
amount of the interaction needs to be
programmed. The problem with this is that
non-computer expert users lack the programming
skills necessary to create useful
applications. Specifying interactions remains in the
domain of the programmer. Creating a single, generic
authoring tool for every different kind of
application would be an impossible task --- more so
if the authors are non-programmers. A more realistic
solution to the problem would be to think of every
environment as having a particular context such as a
virtual museum or gallery. Creating authoring tools
specific to these types of environment contexts
greatly reduces the problem. We have produced a
progressive meta-authoring system that allows both
novice and advanced users to create useful virtual
reality applications, allowing the smooth migration
of novice users to becoming more experienced. We
believe that our system overcomes problems in
architecture and support for novice users found in
previous systems.}

ray shooting. Our technique uses a five-dimensional
ray space partition and is based on the classic
ray-classication algorithm. Where the original
algorithmevaluates intersection candidates at
run-time, our solution evaluates them as a
preprocess. The offline nature of our solution
allows for an adaptive subdivision of ray space. The
advantage being, that it allows for the placement of
a user set upper bound on the number of primitives
intersected. The candidate sets produced account for
occlusion, thereby reducing memory requirements and
accelerating the ray shooting process. A novel
algorithm which exploits graphics hardware is used
to evaluate the candidate sets. It is the treatment
of occlusion that allows for the practical
precomputation of the ray space partition. This
algorithm is called aggressive since it is optimal
(no invisible primitives are included), but may
result in false exclusion of visible
primitives. Error is minimised through the adaptive
sampling.}

potential image error. In order to reduce image

performance results, an in depth error analysis

showing a high degree of scalability. We show that
our technique can rapidly compute from-region

forest), with minimal error (0.3\% of image). On

ANNOTE = {Connecting people across the "digital divide" is as
much a social effort as a technological one. We are
developing a community-centred approach to learn how
interaction techniques can compensate for poor
communication across the digital divide. We have
incorporated the lessons learned regarding social
intelligence design in an abstraction and in a
device called the SoftBridge. The SoftBridge allows
communication to flow from endpoints through
adapters, getting converted if necessary, and out to
destination endpoints. Field trials are underway
with two communities in South Africa: disadvantaged
Deaf users and an isolated rural community. Initial
lessons learned show that we have to design user
interfaces that allow users to understand and cope
with delay. We also learned that social concerns are
often more important than the technical issues in
designing such systems.}

ANNOTE = {While the social effects of Information Technology
(IT) have received much attention there is very
little work on targeted methodologies to develop IT
applications and content in a developing world
environment. This paper describes a methodology
called Socially Aware Software Engineering we are
busy formulating based on firsthand experience
building Information and Communication Technology
solutions. Our method is based on a classical
user-centred approach from Human Computer
Interaction combined with aspects of Participatory
Design and cyclical software engineering
practises. These approaches are wrapped into an
iterative Action Research paradigm in order to
directly include the community-based users of our
systems. We outline three cases studies based on our
evolving method. The paper concludes with
suggestions on changing the nature of tertiary
curricula in developing countries in a way that
integrates this socially aware software engineering
methodology.}

ANNOTE = {Several statutory restrictions have recently been
lifted on the use of Voice over Internet Protocol
(VoIP) in South Africa. Previously, VoIP could only
be utilised by the incumbent telecommunications
operator, Telkom, the Second National Operator (SNO)
and Under Serviced Area Licensees (USALs). This
means new opportunities and cost savings for both
network service providers and consumers. However, in
rural and remote regions, further liberalisation is
required so that service providers can take
advantage of wireless technologies to provide
connectivity in these areas. This paper discusses
the legislative environment in South Africa and
around the world with respect to VoIP and Wireless
Fidelity (WiFi). In addition, examples are provided
of how these technologies have been combined to
provide last mile solutions around the world and
particularly in South Africa. The paper concludes
that further liberalisation in the
telecommunications environment in South Africa is
required if the goal of providing affordable access
in rural areas is to be attained. Specifically, it
is recommended that wireless technologies be
deregulated since the combination of VoIP and WiFi
may benefit rural areas. Also, the paper finds that
USALs may not be the right model for underserviced
areas in South Africa. Lastly, it is apparent that
applications drive development and dictate which
technologies are relevant for rural areas.}
