Inhabited television: broadcasting interaction from within collaborative virtual environments (2000)
Journal Article

Inhabited television combines collaborative virtual environments (CVEs) with broadcast television so that on-line audiences can participate in television shows within shared virtual worlds. We describe a series of experiments with inhabited televisio... Read More about Inhabited television: broadcasting interaction from within collaborative virtual environments.

Three dimensional visualization of the World Wide Web (1999)
Journal Article

Although large-scale public hypermedia structures such as the World Wide Web are popularly referred to as "cyberspace", the extent to which they constitute a space in the everyday sense of the word is questionable. This paper reviews recent work in t... Read More about Three dimensional visualization of the World Wide Web.

Consideration of multiplexing in neural network hardware (1994)
Journal Article

This paper presents the results of research into a scheme for overcoming the communications 'bottleneck' within hardware neural networks, utilising frequency division multiplexing of amplitude modulated neural signals. The introduction explains the p... Read More about Consideration of multiplexing in neural network hardware.

Two quadrant analogue squarer circuit based on MOS square-law characteristic (1991)
Journal Article

A novel analogue CMOS circuit is presented which performs the arithmetical squaring of a voltage, using the square-law characteristic of the MOS transistor in saturation. The core circuit is constructed from four identical building blocks, which are... Read More about Two quadrant analogue squarer circuit based on MOS square-law characteristic.
