http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/ between easy and hard tasks. We suggest that this is because participants are aware that they are performing a real task and hence have a greater emotional investment. We present results of two experiments for naturalistic data collection of the physiological effects of cognitive load in command and control. In addition to traditional driving simulation, we propose a re...

In this article we present an architecture for the integration of tutoring approaches and process scaffolds into existing collaborative applications. The architecture allows to combine existing research on explicit representations of collaborative learning processes with the availability of existing and tested collaborative learning environments. The architecture allows to control the learning ...

With the application of automation, a horse jump can be controlled with the push of a button, or even a remote control. This enables the rider to adjust the jump to suit their needs while still on their horse. The objective of this work is to design and build a wireless remote motor controller which will be applied to a prototype horse jump. The user will be able to control the forward and reve...

Despite the last decade’s research and new insights into human-machine communication, much of today’s technology is too complicated to use, e.g., [6]. This is true for consumer electronics as well as household devices—much of the cutting-edge products do not fit in an every-day environment for every-day users. Current home automation solutions are for technophile users. The lack of intuitive or...

People with special needs may find difficulties using electronic consumer devices, user interfaces limit their chances of having full control on them. The Universal Remote Control (URC) is an ISO standard that promotes pluggable and interoperable user interfaces to remotely operate electronic devices. The Universal Control Hub (UCH) is the software architecture that materialises URC, and severa...

Simulated use of IP applications on hosts spread on the internet is expensive, which leads already in simple use cases to an enormous amount of time for setting up and carrying out an experiment. Complex scenarios are only possible with an additional infrastructure. This document describes a framework with which a needed infrastructure can be implemented. This infrastructure allows an efficient...

Aiming at the issues of random delay and delay uncertainty in the control information network, a kind of network remote closed-loop control structure based on virtual reality is proposed. In accordance with the idea of open-loop system to achieve closed-loop control, this method focuses on constructing the virtual controlled object model in the client, making the virtual simulation system and t...
