When Soft Controls get Slippery: User Interfaces and Human Error

User interfaces for intelligent household remote controls

In the last few years the number of home appliances in our environment has dramatically increased. Each device has its own user interface and a corresponding way to communicate with its users. These user interfaces usually differ for every single device. This can be confusing for users, especially aged people and disabled people. It would be optimal, if we could provide a consistent user interf...

Changes in gait when anticipating slippery floors.

Falls precipitated by slipping are listed among the leading causes of injuries. The biomechanical analysis of such events is a necessary component of the slips/falls prevention research. One of the challenges of biomechanical studies is reproducing the unexpected nature of real-life slipping accidents. Thus, the goal of this study was to quantify changes in gait biomechanics when subjects antic...
