Computer-supported movement guidance: investigating visual/visuotactile guidance and informing the design of vibrotactile body-worn interfaces
This dissertation explores the use of interactive systems to support
movement guidance, with applications in various fields such as sports,
dance, physiotherapy, and immersive sketching. The research focuses
on visual, haptic, and visuohaptic approaches and aims to overcome
the limitations of traditional guidance methods, such as dependence
on an expert and high costs for the novice. The main contributions of
the thesis are (1) an evaluation of the suitability of various types of
displays and visualizations of the human body for posture guidance,
(2) an investigation into the influence of different viewpoints/perspectives,
the addition of haptic feedback, and various movement
properties on movement guidance in virtual environments, (3) an
investigation into the effectiveness of visuotactile guidance for hand
movements in a virtual environment, (4) two in-depth studies of haptic
perception on the body to inform the design of wearable and handheld
interfaces that leverage tactile output technologies, and (5) an
investigation into new interaction techniques for tactile guidance of
arm movements. The results of this research advance the state of the
art in the field, provide design and implementation insights, and pave
the way for new investigations in computer-supported movement
guidance
Proceedings. 9th 3DGeoInfo Conference 2014, [11-13 November 2014, Dubai]
It is known that, scientific disciplines such as geology, geophysics, and reservoir exploration intrinsically use 3D geo-information in their models and simulations. However, 3D geo-information is also urgently needed in many traditional 2D planning areas such as civil engineering, city and infrastructure modeling, architecture, environmental planning etc. Altogether, 3DGeoInfo is an emerging technology that will greatly influence the market within the next few decades. The 9th International 3DGeoInfo Conference aims at bringing together international state-of-the-art researchers and practitioners facilitating the dialogue on emerging topics in the field of 3D geo-information. The conference in Dubai offers an interdisciplinary forum of sub- and above-surface 3D geo-information researchers and practitioners dealing with data acquisition, modeling, management, maintenance, visualization, and analysis of 3D geo-information
Proceedings of the 21st International Congress of Aesthetics, Possible Worlds of Contemporary Aesthetics Aesthetics Between History, Geography and Media
The Faculty of Architecture, University of Belgrade and the Society for Aesthetics of Architecture and Visual Arts of Serbia (DEAVUS) are proud to be able to organize the 21st ICA Congress on “Possible Worlds of Contemporary Aesthetics: Aesthetics Between History, Geography and Media”.
We are proud to announce that we received over 500 submissions from 56 countries, which makes this Congress the greatest gathering of aestheticians in this region in the last 40 years.
The ICA 2019 Belgrade aims to map out contemporary aesthetics practices in a vivid dialogue of aestheticians, philosophers, art theorists, architecture theorists, culture theorists, media theorists, artists, media entrepreneurs, architects, cultural activists and researchers in the fields of humanities and social sciences. More precisely, the goal is to map the possible worlds of contemporary aesthetics in Europe, Asia, North and South America, Africa and Australia. The idea is to show, interpret and map the unity and diverseness in aesthetic thought, expression, research, and philosophies on our shared planet. Our goal is to promote a dialogue concerning aesthetics in those parts of the world that have not been involved with the work of the International Association for Aesthetics to this day. Global dialogue, understanding and cooperation are what we aim to achieve.
That said, the 21st ICA is the first Congress to highlight the aesthetic issues of marginalised regions that have not been fully involved in the work of the IAA. This will be accomplished, among others, via thematic round tables discussing contemporary aesthetics in East Africa and South America. Today, aesthetics is recognized as an important philosophical, theoretical and even scientific discipline that aims at interpreting the complexity of phenomena in our contemporary world. People rather talk about possible worlds or possible aesthetic regimes rather than a unique and consistent philosophical, scientific or theoretical discipline
Systems&design:beyond processes and thinking
El entorno social,el territorio, los productos y las empresas, son ámbitos comunes,en los que se pretende realizar una optimización en la gestión del conocimiento,y desde la que se nos debe permitir observar el mayor número de factores con incidencia en la decisión proyectual necesaria para el diseño de nuevos productos y o servicios.Los retos que plantea la complejidad inherente a estos nuevos tiempos, exige la observación y estudio desde diferentes abordajes e investigaciones, que deberán ser capaces de interpretar las múltiples relaciones complejas, considerando su comportamiento y afectación en el proceso de diseño desde el ámbito complejo de lo multidisciplinar.Hernandis Ortuño, B.
