Redirected walking [is done] by interactively rotating the virtual scene about the user, such that the user is made to continually walk towards the farthest "wall" of the tracker area. The user does not notice this rotation because the algorithm exploits the limitations of human perceptual mechanisms for sensing position, orientation and movement.  2, record 1, English, - redirected%20walking

La desensibilización del proceso de aprendizaje y, por tanto, la obtención de conocimientos parciales y truncados es el principal riesgo del tan abusado formato audiovisual, presente en todas las comunicaciones actuales, especialmente cuando estas tienen fines comerciales. Un claro ejemplo de esto es la utilización en realidad virtual de una técnica denominada "paso redirigido” (redirected walking), que consiste en engañar al cerebro haciéndole creer, por ejemplo, que está caminando en línea recta, cuando en realidad está caminando en círculos.  1, record 1, Spanish, - paso%20redirigido

A plaza for all seasons. People who live in, work in or visit Hull, Quebec, have a beautiful new public space to enjoy, thanks to a PWGSC [Public Works and Government Services Canada]-managed restoration and redesign project. The newly reopened plaza at Parc du Portage is popular among employees at lunchtime, but is also drawing strollers in the evening and bringing new life into the downtown area. The plaza is located between Phases I and II of the Government of Canada Place du Portage office complex and the provincial/municipal Maison du Citoyen building. The plaza is a few minutes’ walk from the Museum of Civilization, one of the national capital' s major visitor attractions. An underground parking garage owned by the Government of Canada is situated beneath the plaza. The restoration and redesign project had two main components--repair of the waterproof membrane of the garage roof, which had been leaking, and restoration of the plaza. Improvements to the plaza included the addition of more fountains in the pool, and the construction of a low wall around the pool providing places to sit. At night, innovative new lighting casts a shimmering reflection onto the nearby building walls. The plaza should also be a hit in winter because of a versatile design that allows the pool fountains to be dismantled and the pool to be converted into a skating rink.  1, record 2, English, - Parc%20du%20Portage%20plaza

A pocket connection is typically used when the wall below(i. e., foundation wall) continues to the story above the floor level without a change in wall thickness. The pocket connection consists of a void or "pocket" created in the wall by changing block placement or cutting into the block units after the walk is erected. The bearing surface on which the joists(or girders) bear typically is grouted solid creating a horizontal reinforced bond beam that ties together the walls in the story below. Light-frame builders may not be familiar with ledger and pocket connections. Such connections typically do not find much use in light-frame construction. However, ledger and pocket connections are not new to the building industry. For example, wood floor-to-masonry ledger and pocket connections were used in the United States during the 1700s, 1800s, and 1900s in residential masonry homes and continue to perform satisfactorily.  6, record 4, English, - blockout

Nous avons [...] décidé de remplacer un des poteaux porteurs par une gaine technique en béton, munie d'une réservation en son centre, afin d'y faire passer les réseaux. Ces gaines ont été préfabriquées sur site et ont pu recevoir les réservations et incorporations techniques au moment du coulage. Elles ont été dimensionnées de telle manière qu'elles puissent répondre aux exigences de descente de charge, d'encombrement minimum pour les réseaux et d'acoustique. Nous avions donc défini très en amont, avec les corps d'état, le dimensionnement et le positionnement des différents réseaux afin d'avoir une connexion simple et rapide.  3, record 4, French, - r%C3%A9servation
