Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Mathematical relationships and physical properties are studied for diverse classes of systems. In this Special Issue, particular emphasis will be given to works of art inspired by biomimetics, to art related to physical phenomena, and to art inspired by the pure joy of mathematics. Further, novel and interesting new aspect of biomolecules, e.g., geometry and possible other symmetries of proteins and DNA will be of interest, as well as the prospects of tilings and close-packing of geometrical objects.

To enrich the form of film and television production, improve the level of film and television production, and satisfy the film-watching experiences of audiences, based on Virtual Reality (VR) and the Internet of Things (IoT) technology, with the help of S3 Studio Max and Photoshop software, a VR film-watching system is built, which realizes the interaction with users on different devices through somatosensory interaction sensors. In addition, by utilizing Twirling720, the panoramic sound recording is achieved. Through this system, a smart IoT platform between users, films, and devices is built. Finally, this platform is utilized to produce the film and television work Van Gogh in Dream, which is evaluated and analyzed through questionnaires. The results show that the technology system of this set of film and television production is complete, and the production level of film and television works have been significantly improved. The audience recognition of film and television production based on this technology is 55%, and the impression evaluation is over 56%. However, knowledge acquisition is only 20%, and historical understanding is above 50%. These dimensions show that compared with traditional film production, artificial intelligence films can bring a better experience to audiences, but knowledge acquisition is less. Therefore, professional knowledge will be improved at the later stage. The above results provide a theoretical basis for the application of artificial intelligence technology in film production and production mode. Full article

Symmetries play a vital role in multimedia-aided art teaching activities. The relevant teaching systems designed with a social network, including the optimized teaching methods, are on the basis of symmetry principles. In order to study art teaching, from the perspective of the teaching organization form, combined with the survey method, multimedia-aided art classroom teaching was explained in detail. Based on the symmetrical thinking in art teaching, the multimedia-aided teaching mode of art classroom was discussed. The reasons for the misunderstanding of multimedia-aided art teaching were analyzed, and the core factors affecting the use of multimedia art teaching were found. In art teaching, more real pictures were shown aided by multimedia; students could experience the beauty of symmetrical things in real life and were guided to find the artistic characteristics of these kinds of graphics, analyze them, and summarize them. The results showed that this method enriched the art multimedia teaching theory and improved the efficiency of art teaching. The blind use of multimedia technology by teachers in art classroom teaching was avoided. Therefore, the method can develop individualized teaching, develop students’ potential, and cultivate innovative consciousness and practical ability. Full article
