2^nd International Conference and Expo on Computer Graphics & Animation September 21-22, 2015 San Antonio, USA

Juan Carlos Torres is a recent graduated student from Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey at Campus Estado de México with degree in Computer Systems Engineering. He has participated in several video games competitions. In 2014, he received an acknowledgement for the best visual art video game in the “AnimaGames 2014” organized jointly by HP & TEC. His research interests include education video games, 3D models, animation, algorithms for a better performance of video games, and the use of different technologies such as Oculus Rift and Unreal Engine.

Video games and education have been working together for a long time, and virtual reality has been in constant development these last years. Nowadays we have a chance of create a revolution for education, a new style in which a user can interact with a new artificial three-dimensional world. The main features of the video game will be social interaction, negative and positive feedback, and achievement of goals. The combination of these three could bring us sublime and favorable results in order to deal with psychological problems in children with "Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder" (ADHD). In this video game, we will catch the attention of people with the use of 3D models, animation and simulation, a VR tool well-known as 'Oculus VR' and Unreal Engine to give a complete digital experience in a 3D world. Different skills such as 3D digital art and multiple computer algorithms will be the way to develop a virtual reality immersion therapy system (VRITS). In which way, the use of technology will improve psychological states? How could Virtual Reality (VR) may help people and how could they react to this? These and many other questions will be answered because of the importance of the health and well-being of new generations. This VRITS will inspire confidence to everyone and open a gap to new research and improvement in terms of quality of life for patients.

Rodrigo Torres is a Mexican student with a deep interest in animation and computer graphics. At present, he studies a major in Animation and Digital Art at Tecnologico de Monterrey in Mexico City and he will graduate on December 2015. Among his many interests we could find the exploration of new technologies for computer animation and the simulation of interactive virtual reality spaces. Therefore, after his graduation he wants to focus his time into the research and implementation of these subjects.

With the development of visualization systems for virtual reality, interactive environments have become increasingly complex. In the last years there have been a number of solutions proposed to allow the user a better level of interaction and manipulation with this types of interfaces, especially those with immersive qualities. Nowadays, most of these systems are still in the process of achieving clear and ergonomic interactions that above all can answer and interact tri-dimensionally according to human motion in real time. That’s why the interactive dialogue that virtual reality systems can offer is still quite limited. With the use of holographic technology in an immersion laboratory CAVE (Cave Automatic Virtual Environment) the user will be able to live a tridimensional experience in which both the user and the environment are in constant movement and interaction. This kind of interaction pretends to implement techniques of facial recognition and voice commands that allow the user to manipulate and build in real time existent and nonexistent elements and graphic structures projected with holograms. To validate this work, we´ll test the level of interaction that the user and the environment might have with external objects to them in an infinite world.

Given the dynamics of business today, sophisticated systems are essential for productivity. It has become commonplace for team collaboration to occur while executing deliverables. Systems that have the capacity to manage these outputs are few. OneSpace provides a fully customizable platform for project-based collaboration needs. OneSpace is ineffective without engaged users and continuous system activity. Therefore, a marketing plan was implemented to identify system features, benefits and goals. The marketing approach included a unified vision for a system logo, innovative website design and a flyer to distribute information. Additionally, business stationary, including letterhead and business card products, were produced to help brand OneSpace. The main purpose of OneSpace is to deliver a web-based platform that supports team collaboration, best-practice sharing, innovation and curriculum access. With these functions in mind, the logo was created mirroring OneSpace implementation. Branding for the company includes renditions of these practices in an aesthetic manner. To highlight collaboration, a table-like shaped figure along with 4 circles representing individuals was used to depict a meeting. To identify with the ability to share best practices, an image was created replicating an icon of an electronic document. A light bulb was included to reflect innovation. Lastly, to illustrate the capacity to access the electronic version of curricula, a book-like figure was created. Each function (image) of the system was grouped together by using a cloud structure to signify that OneSpace is universally accessible and dynamic. The branding of this company and material aims to reflect the intended purpose—to cultivate a collaborative, web-based initiative that supports successful partnerships. The branding is inviting and personable as it relates to mission-driven work. It communicates strength in numbers, a core value to the institution it was developed for. It depicts system workflow and platform capacity. Through a glance of the logo, a clear understanding of functionality is conveyed.

Aliens & Asteroids was created for Game Development class in which we were to learn about different types of games and how they get you to play them, the different types of elements that are essential for making a game fun. My game is meant for any age, because it only requires that you know how to use the mouse, keyboard, and English words. The game was developed in GameMaker 8.1 Lite and runs in a Windows environment. It has been tested in Windows 7 & Vista. The game does teach you a little about the planets in that it may provide some references to the planet you just saved, but it was not the focus. It was put in merely as a reward for the user after they have completed a level sort of like a prize. Each time the user completes a level, a new game that they can play will become activated. Because the main objective of the game is to save the solar system you have to drive all of the bad things (aliens or asteroids) to the edge of the solar system. In the first planet, you will have to defend Mercury against asteroids. Venus will become slightly harder until you get to Earth where the asteroids will become space ships. Each planet after that will get progressively harder until Saturn, which will have those alien ships shooting at you. Then at Uranus there will be aliens & asteroids to defend the planet against. The final stand is at Pluto where you will defend the planet against asteroids and shooting alien ships. When you win you will get an overall congratulation and now are allowed to play any planet game you want. The idea of this project was to create a straight up game. In a way they will be learning about the planets, which each is made to look like the planets in order, but they are rough sketches. Through my presentation I will cover the design of Aliens and Asteroids. I will also cover the behind look of, how Aliens and Asteroids was created using GameMaker. I will also cover the games long-term goals to one-day be a game I can distribute to other people for their pure enjoyment.

This is a puzzle type game. It was developed using Visual Studio.net and runs on a Windows personal computer. It is commonly known as tic tac toe, but has multiple options for the board size and the types of players, human or computer. The game has an electric circuit mother board design as the background. A USB cable and a DVD drive are the symbols to be filled in the squares. It has two options to choose regarding how a player wants to play the game. The two options presented to the player are “VS Player” and “VS Computer”. There are different levels available to play. The basic level is very easy which is 3*3, In 3*3 there are total of 3 squares horizontally in 3 rows and 3 squares vertically in 3 columns. In the same way, there are 4*4(4 squares horizontally in 4 rows of 4 squares vertically in 4 columns also 5*5, 6*6 and 7*7 levels. If the first option is selected i.e., “VS Player” then two players would be playing the game. The next step would be choosing the level of the game among 5 levels from the sizes (3*3 etc). Next arrange their pawns in a row either horizontally, vertically or diagonally. If they fail to arrange in a row then the game is declared as “draw”. If a single person is playing the game then the player can choose second option i.e., “VS Computer”. So, the second player would be a computer. As the player makes a move, the computer makes another move and blocks the player’s pawn from forming a row. When a player is finally able to complete a row of similar pawns they are declared as "winner". Finally, this is all about arranging similar pawns and forming a row with them horizontally, vertically or diagonally. This game may increase thinking ability and concentration.

The Image here represent an epitome of beauty constantly fawned upon, catered to, approached and presented with numerous offers and attention sought by her admirers. This sets up a powerful self image and expectations for the best. No wonder, she is the center for attention and the power of positive thinking is at work as one can see from the graphical representation of the emergence of different color dabs radiating across her body, signifying her unending fragrance of beauty that stimulates the sexual attention of the clustered butterflies (various admirers) hovering around her head as a result of her sexual intelligence. The splattered colors created by the butterflies down her pelvic (torso) typifies the public attention she receives daily from various onlookers, as a result of the strong vigor her sexuality carries, coupled with the emblazoned artistic tattoos on her skin. Furthermore, her skin imprinted with all pattern of intricate tattoos reveals the creative mind behind her prowess. She also maintained a straight face showing her confidence and boldness both in character and expression due to the endless attention she has received over time. Therefore, she cherishes her look and plays them to the hilt. Her beauty is equally protected and covered with a hallmark of endorsement to safeguard her from beauty mismanagement and misuse that could emanate from environmental alteration. By this, her beauty remains untouched and pure to source out for. Her beauty is simply the aplomb and those lucky enough to have it are the equivalence of genetic lottery winners that gain such public attention and affection from their admirers. Similarly, women's beauty can be likened to a flower that periodically blossoms under a good agent of environmental response (breeze and sunlight), which when pollinated by the aid of the fragrance sent to the butterflies, suffices its purpose. More so, beauty is an asset, just like physical prowess, charisma, brains or emotional intelligence. The point with any of these gifts is in the way that is being utilized. Although, psychologists believe that it doesn't define you as a person. But, it is an asset to be used judiciously and meticulously to harness its value. It is just like a small integral part of who you are, but speaks in high volume. In short, outward look of a graphical image speaks in a louder volume than its psychological view when describing a beauty.

In my computer graphic class, I had to create a company I would like to own one day. I created a Bowling Center. I have been around bowling all my life so I thought it would be fun to make up my own center. What comes to mind when you think of bowling? You may think of a ball or pins. I think of the lane or as I like to call it the alley. I used this image to create my company named Alley Way Bowling Center. Alley Way Bowling Center is a family friendly environment. Customers can come bowl or just enjoy our Mexican restaurant, bar, and game room. Our game room contains an area to play Wii bowling, a popular video game. This bowling center, compared to others will be more engulfed in technology. It contains top of the line equipment and free Wi-Fi throughout the center. Our conference room is full of technology from a smart board to a projector. We have flat screen televisions so they keep up with the customer’s favorite sports. We also want people to have parties, company meetings, or social events at our center. The theme of the center is an alleyway so my website reflects the theme. When I think of an alleyway I think of stone walls, painting on walls, and graffiti. I created my website to show this image. It contains brick wall backgrounds and graffiti text. Some images also appear as a picture painting on a wall. I want to think of an alleyway when they see the site. My web pages contain unique buttons that link to the accompanying web pages. My website is unique and that is what I want people to see when they visit my site because Alley Way Bowling Center is a unique place.

Alghamdi Flowers is a flower shop that carries my last name. This means that there are no limitations in the values and cultures that I believe in when it comes to delving into the business. The exact measurements of principles and belief in quality rather than quantity, together with the intellectually strict adherence to business ethics is the main policy of Alghamdi Flowers. The name embodies not only my belief system, but also that of the family which has enriched and developed a person with a distinct character and a strong belief in the culture of appropriateness, beauty, and the never-ending challenge for the chase of perpetual happiness. Alghamdi Flowers is a website which helps a user view and pay for different types of flowers online. I developed the website in HTML using Visual Studio and used Photoshop to create the logos. For an animation about Alghamdi Flowers, I used Adobe Flash. The purpose of Alghamdi Flowers is to enable people to understand that there is more to flower shops beyond cut flowers, ribbons and twine, but also the concept of sustainability, nurturing, and the power of being responsible – for both clients and customers. The purpose is to enhance people’s vision about what other forms of gifts can be given aside from what is taught in the present materialistic and consumptive world. Giving people a real, potted plant or flowering shrub not only gives the power of authenticity to be revived in the minds of the receivers, but also a lesson in the art of nurturing life.

Stellar Blocks is another version of the classic Breakout game. Usually, the breakout game has a line of bricks over the top third of the screen. A ball travels across the screen, bouncing off the top and side walls. When a brick is hit, it is destroyed and the ball bounces away. The player loses a chance/life, when the ball touches the bottom of the screen. To avoid this, the player is given a paddle, which can be moved sideways with the given controls. Stellar Blocks is set on the background of a starry sky, the bricks being in the shape of various constellations. Each of the ten levels is named after a well-known constellation. This game is intended to educate students about the various constellations in the night sky. As the bricks of the game are arranged in the shape of a constellation, there is a high likelihood that a player will remember the pattern of that constellation. The complexity of this game is determined by three factors: Ball speed; paddle size; and constellation shape. As the game advances, the ball speed increases, the paddle size decreases and the shape of the constellation becomes more complex. As the ball touches the ground/bottom of the screen, the player loses a life. The paddle is used to bounce the ball to the bricks, preventing it from touching the ground. As the bricks get hit by the ball, they break and disappear. When the player loses all lives/chances, the main menu is shown to either start a new game or to quit. The game is developed using Game Maker Pro 8.0 and the executable file of the game runs on a Windows Operating system.

A maze is a complex branching puzzle with choices of paths. Laser Maze is a game that utilizes the concept of mazes to help develop logical problem solving skills. The key goal is for the player to work their way through the maze’s complex branches to find the right path to get to the end point. However, this is not just a simple matter of picking different paths. The player cannot simply turn left, right or go straight while trying to solve the maze. Each branch of the maze is locked by a laser puzzle. A branch can consist of an assortment of various path options. The player will have to solve this puzzle in order to open up the alternate paths. The puzzle room will have a single laser reference, and the player will have to use crystals within the room to redirect the laser to a switch to open the door blocking their access to the branch paths. As the laser makes contact with the crystal, the crystal will redirect the laser to come out of the front of the crystal. All crystals within the room will have a limited range or area that the user can move them around. Laser Maze is a game designed to make you think. It will test your ability to solve puzzles using logical problem solving.

Sandro do Canto has recently concluded his degree in Systems engineering and computer science - Multimedia Interactive Technologies, at the Jean Piaget University of Cape Verde. He participated in the 9th International Conference of Information Systems and Technologies that took place in Barcelona, Spain. He was responsible for designing the Cape Verdean Immigrant Guide organized by the IOM (International Organization for Migration) in 2013. His research interests include 3D models, animation and graphic design as well as Human-computer interaction, especially usability and accessibility.

Cape Verde is often referred to as an example in Africa, as far as electronic governance and Information technology and communication. However, given the importance of usability in information systems, websites, web applications and in general all the technological solutions, it turns out how important it is to understand the level of usability of Cape Verdean governmental websites. This article analyzes the main aspects related to usability and studies a specific case of usability of Cape Verdean governmental websites. The article presents usability analysis of 10 Cape Verde government websites, which in our own view are considered most representative. The selection of the websites was made according to their nature and importance. Furthermore, the analysis has been done taking into consideration methods like Focus Groups (involved users to do a usability test) and a Checklist assessment (involved users to fill the list that evaluates the sites in terms of navigation, visual appearance, content, feedback and overall assessment). Among selected 50 users, 5 users were recruited for each site, to share their experience and report fully the problems encountered regarding the navigation process of the websites, as well as in the checklist evaluation. The users involved came from diverse backgrounds (students, professors and state employers). The outcomes from our study show: absence of the navigation map on the sites, particularly with 64% of the surveyed users, difficulties in achieving complete tasks requested and certain difficulties in identifying location information (PATH), from 38% of the surveyed users.

I love being surrounded by pets. In my home back in India I have had about 14 different species of animals as pets, so I would like to use my area of interest and use it to document my idea on a brand I would own if I could, obviously a pet store. Using animals to make logos would make it more interesting. Having had so many pets throughout my life, I have gone through the difficulty of finding the perfect pet. It can be arduous. The brand name is intended to live up to international standards, which still do not exist in India when it comes to buying pets. I hate cruelty towards animals and pets and pet stores in India are not properly maintained, the animals are not healthy, the conditions in which they are housed are stale and stinky, there is no hygiene in the stores, the food and water given to them are not replaced time to time and most importantly local dealers who sell pets do not bare the expense of keeping the pet inoculated at all. Neither is anti-rabies shots administered to dogs. These are all the conditions I have seen growing up and have seen in almost every store in my city. I have designed and developed a website for interested pet lovers to browse through what we have to offer. We have categorized the pets, and will have it maintained by updating the newest pictures of the animals as they grow with age and weight. The store will only sell animals that have been regularly checked by a certified vet. All the dogs and cats will be periodically vaccinated. The store will follow sanitary standards and to keep it neat and clean for a healthy environment to house healthy and play full pets.

In this modern world, it is very important for the traditional graphic designers to have the skills and experience, using computing and software program to complement and meet the outcomes of the constant change of media and technology. Rapid production from computer allows many designers to explore multiple ideas quickly with more detailed design than what could be achieving by traditional hand-rendering or paste-up on paper, moving the designer through the creative process more quickly to a certain level. The study examined the impact and challenges of digital devices on contemporary graphic design considering the introduction of computer and design software and how it has changed the orientation of the up-coming graphic designers in Enugu Art Schools (Institute of Management and Technology - IMT and its offshoot, Enugu State College of Education (Technical), Enugu -ESCET) over a period of time. The study went further and addressed the question on exclusion of traditional symbols in digital software clipart. And finally, it considered the advantages and disadvantages of digital devices in Enugu Art Schools.
