The intensity of specularly reflected light from an illuminated object is represented by an algebraic expression including multiplication, addition, and subtraction operations. The algebraic expression is used in an illumination model, where the illumination model describes the color and intensity of light reflected by the illuminated object. Light reflected by the illuminated object is composed of ambient, diffuse, and specular components. The specular terms used in the illumination model are equivalent in functional form to the diffuse terms, thereby accelerating the computation of color vector c defined by the illumination model. A modified algebraic expression representing specularly reflected light from an illuminated object is defined and used in the illumination model, thereby accelerating computation of color vector c.

The pre-cooler includes one or more cells which are oriented about an air stream to be cooled. A housing defines a perimeter of the cell with an inlet and outlet for air passing therethrough. Water outlet nozzles within the housing are preferably supported upon bars which orient the nozzles facing in a direction counter to flow of air through the housing. Each nozzle is coupled to a separate stage with multiple stages of nozzles coupled to separate valves. A controller opens or closes different valves. The controller measures ambient humidity and temperature conditions as well as air flow rates to calculate the amount of water to be added to the air and then opens appropriate numbers of stages of valves so that an appropriate number of nozzles spray water into the air to saturate the air. Flow rate control is thus provided without pressure variations, for optimal nozzle performance.

A system and method are disclosed for allowing a plurality of augmented and/or virtual reality users to interact with higher dimensional virtual or augmented environment models in which a plurality of objects are placed throughout in a pseudorandom fashion. The placed plurality of objects are subsequently assigned values either in a predetermined or real time manner. The system and method enable security countermeasures, thereby protecting the higher dimensional environmental model from malicious users.

A system, method, and device for generating Pepper's Ghost artifices from two-dimensional sources including Augmented Reality (“AR”) or Virtual Reality (“VR”) environments such that the Pepper's Ghost artifices appear to be a natural addition to a three-dimensional virtual environment. By employing virtual Pepper's Ghost projections onto varying size and shaped screens in the virtual three-dimensional environment, a reduction in bandwidth and costs are realized particularly when displaying humanoid characters in an AR and/or VR environment. While the methods disclosed with the present invention could be of utility to any type of virtual environment, the benefits are particularly acute for dynamic VR environments.
