The Project – Copyright Learning Module Idea: Learning Module – Engineering Design & Copyright/Patent Relationships

Develop a Learning Design Studio of an online module about Engineering Design Ideas/Contractual Work and the relationship with the Patent/Copyright process.

Design/Build – • SL Platform to

support• Content

Presentations• Activities

Research –• Copyright Law• Needs Assessment• Learning

Requirements

The Design Process - Learning Module

Analyze – • Observations• Feedback• Survey - Results

Goal: Outline, identify, and highlight up to date issues regarding intellectual property and copyright/patents. In addition, host this as an online learning module in a Virtual World Environment like Second Life.

Ideal: Develop a Holodeck or similar tool in Second Life to package a learning module to pose situations to visitors and then provide information leading to a solution with focus on Patent/Copyright Laws.

The Best Facial Emotion Extraction Method for Second life

How having better avatar facial features and expressions in Second life can provide a more real-life like form of communication

Three Methods

Facial Emotion Extraction through Text (SL) Facial Emotion Extraction using Kinect (Microsoft)

Facial Emotion Extraction using Webcam (nVisio)

Method Implementation Feasibility IntegrationExtracting emotion through user text

Already implemented in SL through Second Life Marketplace

Uses text chat which means total immersion of communication in the virtual world to mimic real face-to-face communication is not feasible

Users can integrate it by buying Automatic Facial Animation HUDs

Not all users, especially new users, are willing to pay for the HUDs.

Extracting emotion using motion capture technology via Xbox and Kinect

SL can be accessed through the Xbox 360 console via Xbox LIVE through Wi-FI connection

Implies Microsoft buying Linden Labs

No real indication that Linden Labs is up for sale.

Not feasible to believe users are willing to buy expensive hardware just to use SL

Users need to buy Xbox 360 and Kinect in order to integrate this technology.

Extracting emotion using nVisio’s technology via webcams (Best Method)

Linden Labs hiring nVisio

  Finding a method to use

the extracted data from nVisio’s technology to apply to 3D avatar facial features.

Most users own laptops Most laptops have

webcams nVisio is a start-up

company willing to work with others

 

Users do not need to do anything except for using their webcams in SL

Can be integrated free via the free Second Life Viewer

‘Cyberstalking : Worse Than

Personal Harassment

Cyberstalking takes many forms. Among them:

• Installing spyware on a target's computer or via email

• GPS surveillance of the movement of victims

• Posting personal or false and humiliating information about the victim on the Internet

• Sending harassing emails & msgs• Using social media such as

Facebook or Twitter to post false and humiliating information

CyberstalkingIt’s not a Game

Cyberstalking and cybercrimes are on the rise as more and more private information becomes easily accessible on the internet. Advances in technology have allowed stalking to go online, with perpetrators accessing personal information.

• Education and awareness are key.

• Set Bluetooth to non-discovery mode.

• MAC address filtering.

• Encryption.

• User-set passwords.

• Download latest software version.

• Be wary of strangers.

Project Topic: An Investigation Of Privacy Within Virtual World Therapy Sessions

Online therapy is a type of psychological treatment where patients and mental health professionals communicate and address mental issues. This type of therapy has been utilized for conditions such as post traumatic stress disorder, depression, eating disorders, and chronic pain. It is particularly useful to patients who want to be treated and want to remain anonymous or cannot attend in office consultations and visits.

The project is a virtual world simulation that evaluates two types of online therapy sessions: group therapy and individual therapy. Participants within the therapy sessions interact via avatars. The goal of the simulation is to identify and contrast participant web privacy and information accountability issues during these sessions.
