Situated Activity, Distributed Intelligence and Action Pathways
November 9, 2020
In this five session virtual program, academic and industry researchers will work side-by-side to explore user-centered distributed intelligence, through materials, competencies and activities.
Real Time Knowledge Capture and Feedback in Design Workspaces
From The Theme SMART OFFICE WORKFLOWS WHAT IF What if we could capture knowledge and interactions in real time, in order to better understand team interaction and workflow? WHAT WE SET OUT TO DO We set out to develop a knowledge capture and reuse system that enables real-time analysis and feedback for design workspaces. Our […]
High Speed 3D Shape Digitization Using Projected Light Patterns
From The Theme SENSING AND COMPUTING WHAT IF What if we could quickly determine and track the 3D shape of a moving or deforming object? WHAT WE SET OUT TO DO We set out to address one of the central problems in computer vision – the ability digitize an object at high speed. Rapid digitization […]
Force Input Device for Graphical Environment Tweaking (FIDGET)
From The Theme SENSING AND COMPUTING WHAT IF What if we could provide natural interactions with 3D environments? WHAT WE SET OUT TO DO We set out to develop a handheld physical input device that would allow designers to use their dexterity—the whole hand, both hands, perhaps even the whole body— in interacting with graphical […]
Designing Sensor-Based Interactions by Example
From The Theme HUMAN MACHINE INTERACTION AND SENSING WHAT IF? What if we had tools that made designing sensor-based interactions, applications and products as easy as demonstrating sensor input and desired behavior? WHAT WE SET OUT TO DO We set out to develop a tool that would make designing sensor-based interactions as easy as performing […]
