multi-agent system
The image shows a possible application of the ontology to
a multi-agent system: the architecture allows the communication between a
domain dependent knowledge base and a domain independent knowledge base.

|
Virtual Reality technology
The aim of this research activity is the application of
the Virtual Reality technology and the haptic devices in the games. The
introduction of the force feedback makes it possible to obtain a more
realistic simulation feeling the contact with the virtual objects.
