TY - RPRT A1 - Christianson, Kiel A1 - Herder, Jens T1 - Mini-lectures in Computer Science on the WWW N2 - The task of the Center for Language Research is to provide content-based English language instruction for students of computer science and engineering. As such, we find ourselves at the confluence of many of the streams currently running through the English Language Teaching profession, including English for Science and Technology (EST), English for Academic Purposes (EAP), English for Specific Purposes (ESP), Computer-assisted language learning (CALL), content-based instruction, and multimedia applications in foreign language pedagogy. This paper describes our initial attempts to construct a number of World Wide Web pages where students will be able to study EST, EAP, and computer science topics on their own in a multimedia environment.

Besides being the subject matter of many courses, however, the computer also plays a vital role in the educational process itself, both in the distribution of instructional media, and in providing students with valuable practical experience. All students have unlimited access (24-hours-a-day) to individual networked workstations, most of which are multimedia-capable (even video capture is possible in two exercise rooms). Without software and content tailored for computer-aided instruction, the hardware becomes an expensive decoration. In any case, there is a need to better educate the instructors and students in the use of the equipment. In the interest of facilitating effective, collaborative use of network-based computers in teaching, this article explores the impact that a network environment can have on such activities. First, as a general overview, and to examine the motivation for the use of a network environment in teaching, this article reviews a range of different styles of collaboration. Then the article shows what kind of tools are available for use, within the context of what has come to be called Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW).

Until now, spatial sound design has been based very much on experience and trial and error. Most effects are hand-crafted, because good design tools for spatial sound do not exist. This paper discusses spatial sound authoring and its applications, including shared virtual reality environments based on VRML. New utilities introduced by this research are an inspector for sound sources, an interactive resource manager, and a visual soundscape manipulator. The tools are part of a sound spatialization framework and allow a designer/author of multimedia content to monitor and debug sound events. Resource constraints like limited sound spatialization channels can also be simulated.

The Sound Spatialization Framework provides many powerful display and user-interface features not found in other sound spatialization software packages. It provides facilities that go beyond simple sound source spatialization: visualization and editing of the soundscape, multiple sinks, clustering of sound sources, monitoring and controlling resource management, support for various spatialization backends, and classes for MIDI animation and handling.

Er tut dies unter Erweiterung des traditionellen festen Shadingmodells durch Bildsequenzen (nachfolgend Videotextur genannt), welche die Oberflächen anderer Objekte innerhalb einer Szene in Echtzeit beleuchten. Im Rahmen der Diplomarbeit wurde eine Beispielanwendung erstellt, in der eine vorbeiziehende Landschaft (Videotextur) auf den Innenraum eines computergenerierten Zuges (3D-Polygon-Geometrie) einen Beleuchtungseinfluß ausübt. Diese Integration von real gefilmtem Material und computergenerierten Bildern ist eine übliche Vorgehensweise bei Spezialeffekten für Film und Fernsehen, aber erst seit kurzem bietet die durchschnittliche PC-Grafikhardware entsprechende Möglichkeiten unter Echtzeitbedingungen an. Um dieses Vorhaben umzusetzen wird umfangreicher Gebrauch der OpenGL Shader- Hochsprache gemacht, durch die ein Shaderentwickler in der Lage ist, mit einem C-ähnlichen Programm die Pixelberechnungsfunktionalität der Grafikkarte seinen W ünschen entsprechend anzupassen. N2 - The author presents a novel approach to add an additional degree of realism to a computer generated scene by using a sequence of images (called video texture) to light up other objects in real time. He does this by enhancing the traditional fixed shading model using the video textures as part of the light properties. An exemplary application showcases this approach by using a filmed landscape (video texture) which affects the lighting of the interior of a computer generated train (3D polygonal geometry). Combining filmed material and computer generated images has long been standard practice in special effects departments but it was not until recently that the average graphics hardware is becoming capable to produce these effects in realtime. To accomplish the given task the author makes extensive use of the OpenGL high-level shader language (GLSL) which lets the shader developer write C-like programs to alter the behaviour of the graphics card's pixel computing functionality which previously was fixed to only a limited set of operations.
