- Description: First-person computer games are a popular modern video game genre. A new method is proposed, the Directional Propagation Cache, that takes adavntage of the very common portal spatial subdivision method to accelerate environmental acoustics simulation for first-person games, by caching sound propagation information between portals.

- Description: Unmanned vehicles (UV’s) are increasingly being employed in civil and military domains often for operations in dangerous environments. Typically these vehicles require some level of human supervision and therefore require a user interface to enable tasking and feedback. Most existing interfaces are specific to the UV and may require significant user training. One potential solution to this is to exploit proven videogame interfaces to improve UV control. There is however a lack of organised means by which these approaches can be evaluated. This paper describes an interface developed to serve as an experimental platform for investigating the potential benefits of various videogame based interfaces for remote vehicle tasking.
