Investigating the Perceived Strengths and Limitations of Free-Viewpoint Video

Andrew MacQuarrie, Anthony Steed
2020 Frontiers in Virtual Reality  
Semi-structured interviews were conducted with six immersive content experts, exploring the perceived strengths and limitations of FVV as a content type.  ...  The analysis also highlights the complex interplay of factors related to the content itself, such as performance style and the use of creative production techniques to reduce the impact of potential limitations  ...  ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The authors thank the actors Joseph Chance and Sarah-Louise Young, whose likenesses appear in the figures and supplemental material of this work.  ...

Communities of inquiry in curriculum approach to online learning: Strengths and limitations in context

Trudi Cooper, Rebecca Scriven
2016 Australasian Journal of Educational Technology  
Some purposes were to replicate features of a traditional classroom and to support collaboration between professionals with different expertise. The discussion addresses three questions.  ...  Firstly, how useful was the CoI model in context and to what extent was the success (or failure) of the redevelopment attributable to the CoI?  ...  Some of the strengths and limitations of the CoI model became apparent as we used it, and our analysis and critical reflection forms the basis of this article.  ...

A Virtual Standoff – Using Q Methodology to Analyze Virtual Reference

Aaron Shrimplin, Susan Hurst
2007 Evidence Based Library and Information Practice  
Conclusions - This type of analysis provides data on the actual range of feelings and attitudes about providing virtual reference services.  ...  Factor analysis was used to analyze the Q-sorts and factor scores were calculated to aid the task of understanding and interpretation.  ...  Virtual reference can never equal the potency and effectiveness of on-site, in-house, inplace, and wholly interactive traditional reference practice. 23.  ...

CTO roundtable on virtualization

Mache Creeger
2008 Communications of the ACM  
The container contains one instance of every component of the application, but when you roll it out at runtime you may request multiple copies.  ...  We are back to the limiting constraint problem. The limiting constraint used to be the number of servers you had and given their configuration, how they were limited in what they could do.  ...  Each of the VM vendors has particular strengths and one should plan deployments around those strengths.  ...
