Resonate was a musical installation created with the purpose of interactivity and collaboration. This paper will focus on the design-process and the di↵erent steps involved. It will also describe and discuss the methods to create, synchronize and combine the aspects of space, object, music and interaction for the development of resonate. The realized space-filling tangible installation allowed ...

The reliability level for a nuclear installation is given in generally by the technological process quality of operation and maintenance and in particular by a lot of technical, technological, economic and human factors. The maintenance role is fundamental for a nuclear installation. In the maintenance activity as in any dynamic area, appear continuously new elements which, sometimes, require n...

Two-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations are employed to investigate the effects of adding a circular-arc-shaped windshield on performance Banki type vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT), particularly application where VAWT is harnessing energy in highway caused by passing vehicles. Unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (URANS) approach used calculate turbulent flow within...

Cameras operating in the visual range of electromagnetic spectrum are central to advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Front cameras, analyzing traffic, often located behind windshield detect and classify objects.Thus, area within camera’s field view is a part optical system. Simple windshields consist two curved glass surfaces connected by thermoplastic interlayer. Due defects pres...

External human-machine interfaces (eHMIs) may be useful for communicating the intention of an automated vehicle (AV) to a pedestrian, but it is unclear which eHMI design most effective. In crowdsourced experiment, we examined effects (1) colour (red, green, cyan), (2) position (roof, bumper, windshield), (3) message (WALK, DON’T WALK, WILL STOP, WON’T light bar), (4) activation distance (35 or ...

Reducing drag is an excellent approach to improving truck efficiency and saving fuel. The addition of the cylinder could be alternative for reduction devices like windshield that has a similar function enhance truck’s aerodynamic performance. A numerical analysis was performed using Ansys Fluent CFD software estimate influence on truck's force. study conducted by comparing without additional ab...

This article describes an interactive video installation that was developed to inform and engage people about one of the most upsetting geopolitical issues of our time: The Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Several layers of maps information have been employed into a computer application, which was programmed with the open source tool Processing. The video installation was chosen as a medium, to ac...
