    Notes: Abstract Conway's Lifegame is a trivial and wellknown application of a more general theory called the theory of cellular automata. Complex systems modeling may be based on the theory of cellular automata, originated by John von Neumann. Our approach is to define simple components that we call “analog automata”. An analog automaton is a finite state automaton where the state is defined in terms of real numbers representing physical quantities such a position, velocity, mass or color. Deterministic state transition function are applied to these automata using information from the state of neighboring automata. In our case, successive generations in the evolution of these cellular automata are mapped onto polygonal meshes in order to build and texture arbitrary surfaces.

    Nonverbal communication interface for collaborative virtual environments (1999)
    Springer
    Virtual reality 4 (1999), S. 49-59

    Notes: Abstract Nonverbal communication is an important aspect of real-life face-to-face interaction and one of the most efficient ways to convey emotions, therefore users should be provided the means to replicate it in the virtual world. Because articulated embodiments are well suited to provide body communication in virtual environments, this paper first reviews some of the advantages and disadvantages of complex embodiments. After a brief introduction to nonverbal communication theories, we present our solution, taking into account the practical limitations of input devices and social science aspects. We introduce our sample of actions and implementation using our VLNET (Virtual Life Network) networked virtual environment and discuss the results of an informal evaluation experiment.
