0001566AlexopoulosDescription: This award is to support a collaborative project by Dr. Nicolaos Alexopoulos, Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Dean of the School of Engineering, University of California, Irvine, California, and Dr. Esmat Abdel Fattah Abdallah, Professor, the Electronics Research Institute, Cairo, Egypt. The scientists have done work to develop a prototype for 3D interactive device (3D mouse) with significant results. The idea depends on two techniques, first, generate a point source hologram from a transmitting antenna that will be attached to the operator's hand to detect its movements. A receiving microstrip array antenna acts as the mouse's pad to record this point. Secondly constructing and displaying this point is done by computer holography system. This project is seeking to enhance the 3D image time recording process by using array of microstrip antennas and applying electronic scanning, to increase the image accuracy by decreasing the operating wavelength, and to enhance the speed of image retrieval by using high performance computing system to reach real or even reasonable data acquisition time. Scope: The US PI and the Egyptian collaborator have extensive experience in this area of research, that is towards the creation of 3D mouse using holography and microstrip antennae. The present research is a logical extension of their past work. This work is likely to make advances in virtual reality (VR) and machine-human interface. The two teams complement each other. One US graduate student at UC Irvine will participate in this collaboration. This proposal meets the INT objective of supporting collaborative research in areas of mutual interest. This project is being supported under the US-Egypt Joint Fund Program, which provides grants to scientists and engineers in both countries to carry out these cooperative activities.

0001566 Alexopoulos描述：该奖项旨在支持加州尔湾市加州大学电气与计算机工程教授兼工程学院院长Nicolaos Alexopoulos博士和埃及开罗电子研究所教授Esmat Abdel Fattah Abdallah博士的合作项目。 科学家们已经完成了开发3D交互设备（3D鼠标）原型的工作，并取得了显着成果。 这个想法依赖于两种技术，首先，从一个发射天线生成一个点源全息图，该天线将连接到操作员的手，以检测其运动。 一个接收微带阵列天线作为鼠标垫来记录这一点。 其次，利用计算机全息系统对该点进行构造和显示。 本计画系利用微带天线阵列及电子扫描技术，以强化三维影像时间记录过程，并借由降低工作波长来提高影像准确度，以及利用高效能计算系统来提升影像检索速度，以达到真实的甚至合理的资料撷取时间。 适用范围：美国PI和埃及合作者在这一研究领域拥有丰富的经验，即使用全息和微带天线创建3D鼠标。 目前的研究是他们过去工作的逻辑延伸。 这项工作可能会在虚拟现实（VR）和人机界面方面取得进展。 这两支球队相辅相成。 加州大学欧文分校的一名美国研究生将参与这项合作。 该提案符合INT的目标，即支持在共同感兴趣的领域进行合作研究。 该项目得到了美国-埃及联合基金方案的支持，该方案向两国的科学家和工程师提供赠款，以开展这些合作活动。
