What is the process of adding digital content to the real world through AR technology called?
-
Augmentation
-
Superimposition
-
Overlay
-
Insertion
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Augmentation is the process of adding digital content to the real world through AR technology. It involves overlaying virtual objects, information, or experiences onto the user's view of the real world.
Which astrophotography technique involves capturing a series of images of the same celestial object over a period of time to create a video or animation showing its motion or changes?
-
Time-lapse photography
-
Stop-motion animation
-
High-speed photography
-
Long-exposure photography
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Time-lapse photography involves capturing a series of images at regular intervals, which are then combined to create a video or animation showing the gradual changes or motion of a celestial object.
What is the term used to describe the process of creating digital representations of cultural artifacts using 3D scanning technologies?
-
3D digitization
-
3D modeling
-
3D reconstruction
-
3D printing
A
Correct answer
Explanation
3D digitization refers to the process of creating digital representations of cultural artifacts using 3D scanning technologies. This involves capturing the physical dimensions and details of an artifact using specialized scanners, and then converting the captured data into a digital 3D model.
What is the term for the visual effect created when an object appears to move faster or slower than its actual speed?
-
Time-lapse
-
Slow motion
-
Fast motion
-
Stop motion
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Slow motion is a technique where the footage is played back at a slower speed than it was recorded, creating the illusion of slower movement.
What is the term used to describe the process of creating digital 3D models of garments for virtual try-ons and simulations?
-
Digital garment construction
-
Virtual prototyping
-
3D fashion design
-
Digital fashion creation
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Digital garment construction refers to the process of creating digital 3D models of garments using specialized software, allowing designers to visualize and simulate garments before physical production.
