Pandemics: is hoping for the best enough?
Until the beginning of the last century, infectious diseases were the major cause of human mortality, causing an estimated 50% of all deaths in the Western world around 1900. In the following decades, this percentage decreased to less than five, largely due to the implementation of public health measures but also to the development of vaccines and antimicrobial compounds. A major success in thi...
متن کاملProgramming Reality within the Reality-Based Interaction Framework
In this position paper, we propose the Reality-Based Interaction (RBI) framework as a basis for analyzing, designing, and understanding organic user interfaces and transitive materials. This framework also allows us to relate these research paths to the broader domain of emerging post-WIMP interaction techniques. We believe that viewing interaction through the lens of Reality-Based Interaction ...
متن کاملControl Strategies for a Multi-Legged Hoping Robot
In this paper, we present locomotion control strategies for a novel multi-legged spherical hopping robot named ”Robotic All-Terrain Surveyor” (RATS). The conceptual robot has a spherical body roughly the size of a soccer ball, with 12 legs equally distributed over its surface. While the 12legged spherical version of the robot is still on its design phase, we have experimented with a planar prot...
متن کاملHope and hoping in the talk of dying cancer patients.
Hope is the subject of increasing research and discussion within the healthcare literature. However, although deemed of vital import to patient welfare, there is little examination of how hope features within patients' speech. This qualitative study presents the discursive properties of hope as it emerged unprompted during semi-structured interviews with 28 patients in the final phase of termin...
متن کاملReaching within Video-Capture Virtual Reality: Using Virtual Reality as a Motor Control Paradigm
We have developed a virtual reality (VR) system that integrates a three-dimensional tracking device with a video-capture VR platform to record upper limb movements. The influence of target velocity on planning and execution of reaching movements was studied in five healthy subjects. Our initial results suggest that a target's velocity is considered when planning an interceptive action and that ...
