  1. 6. Kartläggning av stereotypt vandrande hos tigerhane (Panthera tigris altaica)

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Environment and Health

    Author : Julia Alehult; [2023]
    Keywords : amurtiger; stereotypt vandrande; stereotypt beteende; etologi; beteendestudie;

    Abstract : Zoos have an important role when it comes to the conservation of endangered species. Animals kept in captivity have the same behavioral needs as animals in the wild and it is important that zoos provide them with a stimulating environment. If the environment in the enclosure is not optimal, abnormal behaviors such as stereotypies can develop. READ MORE

  3. 7. Investigation on Enhancing Fire Threat Perception in Virtual Reality through Subject-Expectancy Effect

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Hsuan-Ting Liu; [2023]
    Keywords : Virtual reality; safe distance; subject-expectancy effect; thermal radiation; placebo effect; fire scenario.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This thesis examines the use of subject-expectancy effect on enhancing fire threat perception in virtual reality. The study involves a virtual fire scenario design and 33 participants who experience virtual fires of three different scales in the scenario using a head-mounted display as visual and auditory perception and adopting physical movement in real world as their way of locomotion.

  4. 8. Exploring Normalizing Flow Modifications for Improved Model Expressivity

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Marcel Juschak; [2023]
    Keywords : Normalizing Flows; Motion Synthesis; Invertible Neural Networks; Glow; MoGlow; Maximum Likelihood Estimation; Generative models; normaliserande flöden; rörelsesyntes; inverterbara neurala nätverk; Glow; MoGlow; maximum likelihood-skattning generativa modeller;

    Abstract : Normalizing flows represent a class of generative models that exhibit a number of attractive properties, but do not always achieve state-of-the-art performance when it comes to perceived naturalness of generated samples. To improve the quality of generated samples, this thesis examines methods to enhance the expressivity of discrete-time normalizing flow models and thus their ability to capture different aspects of the data.

  5. 9. Exploring Controller-Free Locomotion Techniques in Dynamic VR Environments : A Comparative Analysis of Eye- and Hand-Based Teleportation

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : John Brink; [2023]
    Keywords : Virtual Reality; Locomotion; Eye Tracking; Hand Tracking; Teleportation; Virtuell Verklighet; Förflyttning; Ögonspårning; Handspårning; Teleportering;

    Abstract : Locomotion in VR is still a topic of exploration, as different solutions serve different purposes. Teleportation is an established technique for moving in virtual environments larger than physical space, but one area that has not been thoroughly investigated is controller-free teleportation, where users are not limited by intermediary devices for movement control.

  6. 10. Remembering how to walk - Using Active Dendrite Networks to Drive Physical Animations

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Klas Henriksson; [2023]
    Keywords : reinforcement learning; deep learning; physical animation; deep reinforcement learning; multi-task learning; multi-task reinforcement learning; machine learning; neural networks;

    Abstract : Creating embodied agents capable of performing a wide range of tasks in different types of environments has been a longstanding challenge in deep reinforcement learning. A novel network architecture introduced in 2021 called the Active Dendrite Network [A. Iyer et al. READ MORE
