Our work introduces a semi-immersive environment for conceptual design where virtual mockups are obtained from gestures we aim to get closer to the way people conceive, create and manipulate threedimensional shapes. We present on-and-above-the-surface interaction techniques following Guiard’s asymmetric bimanual model to take advantage of the continuous interaction space for creating and editin...

The loudspeaker is the most important and one of the most variable elements in the electroacoustic music performance process. Nonetheless, its performance is subject to a “willing suspension of disbelief” by listeners. In addition, its behavior and variability are usually not accounted for in assessments of the quality of music reproduction or music instrument synthesis, especially as they occu...

Hyaluronidases, a family of enzymes that are able to degrade hyaluronic acid (HA), are employed in medicine to increase drug diffusion and reverse the effects of HA filler injections. Hyaluronidases are able to dissolve subcutaneous nodules or to correct excessive quantities of injected filler. Knowledge of the use, methods of application, and adverse effects of hyaluronidases is essential for ...

Neuroscience has recently contributed a lot to the understanding of aesthetic experience features. Science, art and creativity are not really distinctively different entities. The parallelism seen between the properties of art and organizational principals of the brain has been highlighted through neuroaesthetic studies. Aesthetic as a subjective experience has comprehensively been studies thro...

The present study’s aim was to examine whether interindividual differences in levels of expertise influence the aesthetic processing materials. In particular, we elucidated experts’ conceptual structure aesthetics different materials using a free list task and compared it recent non-expert data. To this end, asked 401 architects, designers, interior designers adjectives that could be used descr...

Kernel methods enable the direct usage of structured representations of textual data during language learning and inference tasks. Expressive kernels, such as Tree Kernels, achieve excellent performance in NLP. On the other side, deep neural networks have been demonstrated effective in automatically learning feature representations during training. However, their input is tensor data, i.e., the...

Brazilian art critic Mário Pedrosa’s theorization of art’s affective power, whereby the relational contract with spectator is neither rational nor purely visual but infused feeling, was decisive for understandings geometric abstraction as expressive in 1950s. “Toward a Common Configurative Impulse” turns to another modernism, nestled alongside ones that would come define aesthetic artists assoc...

By using lacquer painting creation with realistic themes as an example, this essay will examine the primary issues in context of modern period.It summarize key pathways and construction expansion choices for by analyzing creative traits themes, it provide future path perspective that may be supported.Modern paintings topics suffer from a loss pictoriality, weakening lack aesthetic merit. Lack i...

This article reports on a project that uses unfettered gestural motion for expressive musical purposes. The project involves the development of, and experimentation with, software to receive data from a Vicon motion capture system, and to translate and map that data into data for the control of music and other media such as lighting. In addition to the commercially standard MIDI—which allows di...

This article explores what is new about Web 2.0, the contemporary cutting-edge platform for web development, differentiating between what is celebrated in the discourse of Web 2.0 and what is genuinely novel about this phenomenon, which is users’ propensity to construct content in the form of information and media products for the web environment. It argues that, from the perspective of theoret...
