“…In the early days, the simple and crude game consoles, were based on the early version of personal computers and provided the game players (users) with adequate hand controllers and displays with very low cost. New generation electronic entertainment and game consoles have made significant impact on the general public and have revolutionized the everyday lives for most people by blending the virtual setups with reality in entertainment, communication, and the control of home appliances, among others [5][6][7]. People from many sectors of business have studied and used tools and practices from the electronics entertainment and game industry.…”

Computer-generated virtual systems and virtual environments provide researchers, engineers, game/ entertainment developers, designers, and many other professions with powerful tools to perform jobs that were unimaginable a few years ago. For virtual systems, visualization is only one of the five senses used by humans, so by combining sounds, motion, and other sensory stimulus, it is possible to digitally re-create objects, events and environment to completely emulate real objects, events, and environment in which they occur with high fidelity. This paper reports the research and findings on various tools, equipment, and settings that can be used to create high-fidelity virtual systems.

“…When the human task is very complex or not representative of the manufacturing context, these virtual human models may not be able to provide a realistic solution. An example is the displacement in cluttered or dynamically changing environment (emergency situations, hostile environments, battlefield simulation [2], [3]). In such a context, immersing a real performer into the virtual environment can be the only way of evaluating the feasibility of the task.…”

We investigate how the movement measurement technologies developed for Virtual Reality applications can be applied to track in real-time the full body posture of a human being. The accuracy of this information is of definite importance to evaluate the feasibility of complex tasks involving human beings. We present a full body movement measurement approach. It provides a realistic conversion in real-time with a reasonable number of sensors. Associated with the hand movement measurement and correction algorithms we provide a pertinent visual and vibrotactile feedback to the performer.

helping to disperse centralized network management tasks to subnet hosts, mobile agent technology helps conserve network bandwidth and improves management efficiency by decreasing network traffic.O nly a few years ago, most networks were LANs with iimited linkages between equipment. During that era, networks were managed via the centralized architecture. Since this architecture is simple and effective, network administration tasks were carried out on a personal computer or workstation. But the recent growth of Internet applications has led to an explosion in the number of networks worldwide, which has placed a heavy burden upon the networks as well as the administrators. It is not surprising then, that the conventional centralized architecture is not sufficient to manage such changes. In this architecture, the central network server routinely requests the status information of local units, which consumes a significant amount of bandwidth. In addition, communication data may be lost during transmission. It is therefore common today to share management tasks with other network management servers in a distributed framework [6].In a distributed network, the network administrator monitors the trend of network flow to evaluate network performance and diagnose abnormal situations. The analysis data can be obtained from the management information base (MIB) of network equipments. The MIB maintains many data objects for network management, such as system data, equipment status, link status, and communication status, among others [7]. The MIB data is organized in groups and preserved in a tree-like structure. This provides an opportunity to manage the complicated network tasks in the distributed network management environment.The new trend in networks involves using mobile agents [1, 3, 4] to manage the distributed network system [2]. The mobile agent can be used to retrieve data from the MIB to monitor the network flow in the distributed environment. That is, management tasks are assigned to an agent and the agent can be sent to remote hosts to execute the assignment. After completing the assignment, the results are carried back to the sender by the agent. In such a case, local subordinate network (subnet) hosts can share the workload with the central network server. This approach has several advantages as described by [9]. In addition, the mobile agent can transform the conventional centralized network architecture into a distributed administrative environment. In case the linkage between the network management server and the subnet breaks down, the mobile agent and the data can temporarily reside at the agent box of local hosts and be retracted afber the linkage is restored. This design is suitable for an unstable network environment.With recent research 181 suggesting the next strategy for executives is to outsource information technology to Internet-based services instead of having their own proprietary information systems, we will undoubtedly see a dra-
