"Supersti+Tech" is a compound word of "Superstition" and "Technology". The purpose of this project is to reinterpret superstition with new media devices through which juxtaposes and combines various paradoxical concepts such as irrational versus rational, fiction versus fact, and virtual versus real. The outcome of this project displays three interactive installations which use computer process...

Wind energy installations are increasing rapidly and so is their end-of-life waste. turbine blades consist primarily of glass fibers usually landfilled. Given the significant amounts blade waste expected in future, circular economy pathways need to be identified for this stream. This study investigates feasibility pathway mechanical recycling reuse at composite material manufacturing, while opt...

We present a telerobotics research platform that provides complete access to all levels of control via opensource electronics and software. The electronics employs an FPGA to enable a centralized computation and distributed I/O architecture in which all control computations are implemented in a familiar development environment (Linux PC) and lowlatency I/O is performed over an IEEE-1394a (FireW...

experience-oriented interactive systems based on a pragmatist foundation. The perspective is characterized by the interrelated aspects of experience, inquiry, and conflict. The consequences of this perspective for understanding users in the design of experienceoriented interactive systems are discussed on the basis of case-studies of two Nordic experienceoriented installations. The contribution...

It was shown how high mechanical strength should be provided in the high numerical aperture (NA) graded-index plastic optical fiber (GI POF). In this newly developed GI POF, a copolymer of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl methacrylate (3FMA) was used to increase the NA. The GI POF we proposed previously was composed of a PMMA homopolymer cladding and a doped PMMA core. It was ...
