      eLearning practitioners are increasingly adopting more activity based approaches to online learning, as they move away from more traditional content centric approaches in an effort to provide their learners with more ...

    • Faoladh : A Case Study in Cinematic VR Storytelling and Production 

      Dowling, Declan; O Fearghail, Colm; Smolic, Aljosa; Knorr, Sebastian (2018)
      Portraying traditional cinematic narratives in virtual reality (VR) is an emerging practice where often the methods normally associated with cinematic storytelling need to be adapted to the 360 format. In this paper we ...

    • Director's Cut - Analysis of VR Film Cuts for Interactive Storytelling 

      O Fearghail, Colm; Oczinar, Cagri; Knorr, Sebastian; Smolic, Aljosa (2018)
      The usage of film cuts, or transitions, is a powerful technique in interactive storytelling to express the film story by leading the viewers attention. To explore how existing transition techniques are currently being ...

    • DeepStereoBrush: Interactive Depth Map Creation 

      Smolic, Aljosa (2018)
      In this paper, we introduce a novel interactive depth map creation approach for image sequences which uses depth-scribbles as input at user-defined keyframes. These scribbled depth values are then propagated within these ...

    • KAFCA : knowledge autonomy for reactive context-aware applications 

      O'Connor, Neil (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2010)
      Pervasive computing represents a vision of networked computers being distributed throughout our everyday environment in order to transparently provide services to people. The use of sensors enables the deployment of so-called ...

    • Egocentric Gesture Recognition for Head-Mounted AR devices 

      Smolic, Aljosa; Chalasani, Tejo; Ondrej, Jan (2018)
      Natural interaction with virtual objects in AR/VR environments makes for a smooth user experience. Gestures are a natural extension from real world to augmented space to achieve these interactions. Finding discriminating ...

    • Dynamic Environment Mapping for Augmented Reality Applications on Mobile Devices 

      Smolic, Aljosa (2018)
      Augmented Reality is a topic of foremost interest nowadays. Its main goal is to seamlessly blend virtual content in real-world scenes. Due to the lack of computational power in mobile devices, rendering a virtual object ...

    • AlphaGAN: Generative adversarial networks for natural image matting 

      Lutz, Sebastian; Amplianitis, Konstantinos; Smolic, Aljosa (2018)
      We present the first generative adversarial network (GAN) for natural image matting. Our novel generator network is trained to predict visually appealing alphas with the addition of the adversarial loss from the discriminator ...

    • Practical and architectural aspects of sorting and searching 

      Nash, Nicholas C.A. (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2010)
      The work in this dissertation was motivated by a desire to understand as well as to improve the performance of certain algorithms and data structures in practice. The performance of algorithms in practice is influenced by ...

    • SMOOTH : a system for mobility training at home for people with Parkinson's Disease 

      Muras, Joanna A. (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2010)
      Assistive technology has the capacity provide to people with limitations the opportunity to improve their quality of life and increase their independence in daily living. The promise of emerging pervasive computing ...

    • A Geometry-Sensitive Approach for Photographic Style Classification 

      Smolic, Aljosa (2018)
      Photographs are characterized by different compositional attributes like the Rule of Thirds, depth of field, vanishing-lines etc. The presence or absence of one or more of these attributes contributes to the overall ...

    • Colour Correction for Stereoscopic Omnidirectional Images 

      Smolic, Aljosa (2018)
      Stereoscopic omnidirectional images (ODI) when viewed with a head-mounted display are a way to generate an immersive experience. Unfortunately, their creation is not an easy process, and different problems can be present ...

    • Automatic Palette Extraction for Image Editing 

      Smolic, Aljosa (2018)
