AR Services Video

Video presented as part of the USECA 2011 workshop at WISE 2011. Real-time sales assistant service is a problematic component of remote delivery of sales support for customers. Solutions involving web pages, telephony and video support prove problematic when seeking to remotely guide customers in their sales processes, especially with transactions revolving around physically complex artefacts. This process involves a number of services that are often complex in nature, ranging from physical compatibility and configuration factors, to availability and credit services. We propose the application of a combination of virtual worlds and augmented reality to create synthetic environments suitable for remote sales of physical artefacts, right in the home of the purchaser. A high level description of the service structure involved is shown, along with a use case involving the sale of electronic goods and services within an example augmented reality application. We expect this work to have application in many sales domains involving physical objects needing to be sold over the Internet.

Augmented Reality Process Modelling Tool

Video presented as part of BPM2011 demonstration(France). In this video we show a prototype BPMN process modelling tool which uses Augmented Reality techniques to increase the sense of immersion when editing a process model. The avatar represents a remotely logged in user, and facilitates greater insight into the editing actions of the collaborator than present 2D web-based approaches in collaborative process modelling. We modified the Second Life client to integrate the ARToolkit in order to support pattern-based AR.

SSCRC Austin ICU Handover

Video presented as part of Melbourne Smart Services CRC Participants conferences. Video showing the results of our collaboration with the Smart Services CRC and Austin Health. We created an environment for nurses to learn ICU Handover processes. Handover processes in an ICU involve, briefing meetings with ward nurses, and then a bedside handover of patient care information to the nurse starting the next shift. This simulation will allow students to remotely practice their handover skills, thus freeing up expensive resources at teaching hospitals, and enabling them to be at a higher skill level when they commence live training.

Collaborative 3D BPMN Editor Two

Video presented as part of AMCIS 2010 conference in Lima Peru. New improved collaborative BPMN editor video, showing a new interface and collaboration capabilities via remote login of another avatar.

Open Simulator BPMN Process Model Editor

Video presented as part of APCCM 2010 conference in Brisbane Australia. Video illustrating the main components of an Open Simulator BPMN Editor we have developed.

Hyperprocess

Video presented as part of ACIS 2009 conference in Melbourne Australia. Movie showing the execution of a small prototype Hypbolic projection of a process model. Useful for the traversal of large process models, as the entire hierarchy can be visualised as a whole, maintaining a sense of context while moving through such complex topologies.

Collaborative 3D BPMN Editor

Video presented as part of ACIS 2009 conference in Melbourne Australia. This video outlines a collaborative BPMN editing system, developed by Stephen West, an IT Research Masters student at QUT, Brisbane, Australia. The editor uses a number of tools to facilitate collaborative process modelling, including a presentation wall, to view text descriptions of business processes, and a tile-based BPMN editor. We will post a video soon focussing on the multi-user capabilities of this editor. For more details see www.bpmve.org.

3D BPMN airport processes

Video presented as part of ACIS 2009 conference in Melbourne Australia. This movie is a demonstration of the use of 3D Virtual Environments to visualise 3D BPMN Process Models, and in particular, to highlight any issues with the process model that are spatial in nature. This work is part of a paper accepted for the Asia-Pacific Conference on Conceptual Modelling (APCCM 2010) to be held in Brisbane - http://2010.apccm.org/

YAWL game demo

Video presented as part of CyberGames 2006 conference in Fremantle Australia. Demonstration video showing the QUT YAWL workflow system controlling a game. The grey user interface, spawning of enemies and registration of killings is coordinated by the YAWL workflow tool, developed at QUT, Brisbane, Australia. This shows how easy it is to give a 3D interface to workflow systems. More information on this work is at www.bpmve.org.

SSCRC Project - work in progress

Video presented as part of Smart Services CRC Participants conferences. This video shows an example of the latest version of our middleware linking the YAWL workflow engine to Open Simulator. We have created a simple example of an accident victim being brought into a Hospital to be processed. The preliminary interface to the YAWL accident treatment workflow is shown as a worklist on the left of the image. The tasks are presented to the avatar via this interface, in a similar manner as done in web based workflow systems. Objects in the simulator are instrumented with a knowledge base, that enables the validation of actions within the world, to make sure that tasks are carried out correctly.

Clik goes to Hollywood

Video presented as part of Smart Services CRC Participants conferences. This video is a demonstration of a 3D visualisation of a running workflow in YAWL connected by a custom service to Second Life. The avatar, Clik, is being controlled by a workflow tool called YAWL, as it traverses the workflow schema, illustrating the process of film preproduction and shooting. This video was captured while the workflow tool was running - NO human is controlling the avatar during the video. It is all scripted from an external source on the Internet. See www.bpmve.org for more on this work.

Virtual world process education

Video presented as part of Smart Services CRC Participants meeting. A short demonstration video of our ideas for using Business Process Software in Virtual Worlds for Process Education.

Personal processes interface mock up

Situated on Youtube, and shown in various locations. In this video we show a 3D mock up of a personal house purchasing process. A path traversal metaphor is used to give a sense of progression along the process stages. The intention is to be able to use console devices like an Xbox to consume business processes. This is so businesses can expose their internal processes to consumers using sophisticated user interfaces. The demonstrator was developed using Microsoft XNA, with assistance from the Suncorp Bank and the Smart Services CRC. More information at: www.bpmve.org

Collaborative BPMN process modelling

Situated on Youtube, and shown in various locations. A video showing members of the QUT BPM research group using a Mimio pen-based tabletop system for collaborative process modelling.
