Body-technology interfaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
Our interactions with personal electronic devices provoke a broad range of emotional states from frustration to confusion to feverish obsession. Increasingly, these devices mediate our everyday work activities, our social network development and our personal communications. In this paper, we propose a participatory installation that aims to bring critical awareness and consideration to the complex relationship between people and their technological artifacts. Based on participant interview data, we will create Body-Technology Interfaces’ in the form of hand-knitted custom wrappers for personal electronic devices. Each BTI will reflect salient interaction behaviors between the participant and their chosen device. Analyzed participant interview data, BTI designs and overall participant response to the project will be documented and shared online.

Displacement Fields Influence Analysis Caused by Dislocation Networks at a Three Layer System Interfaces on the Surface Topology
This work consists in a numerically evaluation of elastic fields distribution, caused by intrinsic dislocation networks placed at a nanometric trilayers interfaces, in order to estimate their influence on the surface topology during heterostructure operation. The organization of nanostructures is ensured by the knowledge of different elastic fields caused by buried dislocation networks and calc...
متن کاملSynchronized Video: An Interface for Harmonizing Video with Body Movements
We propose a new media reproduction technology called Synchronized Video that supports the learning of new body movements. The proposed technology plays video in synchronization with human body movements. Doing so enables easy video control that allows mapping between action elements contained in the video and the user’s actual movements in a harmonious way. In this paper, we describe its metap...
متن کاملGarment-based body sensing using foam sensors
Wearable technology is omnipresent to the user. Thus, it has the potential to be significantly disruptive to the user’s daily life. Context awareness and intuitive device interfaces can help to minimize this disruption, but only when the sensing technology itself is not physically intrusive: i.e., when the interface preserves the user’s homeostatic comfort. This work evaluates a novel foambased...
متن کاملHaptic Interfaces for Teleoperation and Virtual Environments
Types of haptic interfaces are surveyed and contrasted. Particular attention is paid to body-based devices, whether for position tracking as in goniometers or for force reeection as in powered exoskeletons. Some issues in achieving accuracy and higher performance are addressed.
متن کاملFlexible Interfaces in the Application of Language Technology to an eScience Corpus
We describe two key interfaces used in an architecture for applying a range of Language Technology tools to a corpus of Chemistry research papers, in order to provide a basis of robust linguistic analyses for Information Extraction tasks. This architecture is employed in the context of the eScience project ‘Extracting the Science from Scientific Publications’ (a.k.a. SciBorg), as described in C...
