Virtual Reality Games for Motor Rehabilitation
This paper presents a fuzzy logic based method to track user satisfaction without the need for devices to monitor users physiological conditions. User satisfaction is the key to any product’s acceptance; computer applications and video games provide a unique opportunity to provide a tailored environment for each user to better suit their needs. We have implemented a non-adaptive fuzzy logic model of emotion, based on the emotional component of the Fuzzy Logic Adaptive Model of Emotion (FLAME) proposed by El-Nasr, to estimate player emotion in UnrealTournament 2004. In this paper we describe the implementation of this system and present the results of one of several play tests. Our research contradicts the current literature that suggests physiological measurements are needed. We show that it is possible to use a software only method to estimate user emotion

This conference is a local event aiming at bringing together the research students, staff and eminent external guests to celebrate Engineering and Computer Science Research at the University of Hertfordshire. The ECS Research Conference aims to showcase the broad landscape of research taking place in the School of Engineering and Computer Science. The 2019 conference was articulated around three topical cross-disciplinary themes: Make and Preserve the Future; Connect the People and Cities; and Protect and Care

Innovating Pedagogy 2017: Exploring new forms of teaching, learning and assessment, to guide educators and policy makers. Open University Innovation Report 6
This series of reports explores new forms of teaching, learning and assessment for an interactive world, to guide teachers and policy makers in productive innovation. This sixth report proposes ten innovations that are already in currency but have not yet had a profound influence on education. To produce it, a group of academics at the Institute of Educational Technology in The Open University collaborated with researchers from the Learning In a NetworKed Society (LINKS) Israeli Center of Research Excellence (I-CORE).
Themes:
• Big-data inquiry: thinking with data
• Learners making science
• Navigating post-truth societies
• Immersive learning
• Learning with internal values
• Student-led analytics
• Intergroup empathy
• Humanistic knowledge-building communities
• Open Textbooks
• Spaced Learnin
System upgrade: realising the vision for UK education
A report summarising the findings of the TEL programme in the wider context of technology-enhanced learning and offering recommendations for future strategy in the area was launched on 13th June at the House of Lords to a group of policymakers, technologists and practitioners chaired by Lord Knight.
The report – a major outcome of the programme – is written by TEL director Professor Richard Noss and a team of experts in various fields of technology-enhanced learning. The report features the programme’s 12 recommendations for using technology-enhanced learning to upgrade UK education
Probing Quantum Confinement and Electronic Structure at Polar Oxide Interfaces
Polar discontinuities occurring at interfaces between two different materials
constitute both a challenge and an opportunity in the study and application of
a variety of devices. In order to cure the large electric field occurring in
such structures, a reconfiguration of the charge landscape sets in at the
interface via chemical modifications, adsorbates or charge transfer. In the
latter case, one may expect a local electronic doping of one material: one
sparkling example is the two-dimensional electron liquid (2DEL) appearing in
SrTiO once covered by a polar LaAlO layer. Here we show that tuning the
formal polarisation of a (La,Al)(Sr,Ti)O (LASTO:) overlayer
through chemical composition modifies the quantum confinement of the 2DEL in
SrTiO and its electronic band structure. The analysis of the behaviour in
magnetic field of superconducting field-effect devices reveals, in agreement
with calculations and self-consistent Poisson-Schr\"odinger
modelling, that quantum confinement and energy splitting between electronic
bands of different symmetries strongly depend on interface charge densities.
These results not only strongly support the polar discontinuity mechanisms with
a full charge transfer to explain the origin of the 2DEL at the celebrated
LaAlO/SrTiO interface, but also demonstrate an effective tool for
tailoring the electronic structure at oxide interfaces.Comment: 18 pages, 4 figures, 1 ancillary file (Supporting Information
