Abstract:

We present in this paper a research platform for development and evaluation of embodied visual object recognition strategies. The platform uses a stereoscopic peripheral-foveal camera system and a fast pan-tilt unit to perform saliency-based visual search. This is combined with a classification framework based on the bag-of-features paradigm with the aim of targeting, classifying and recognising objects. Interaction with the system is done via typed commands and speech synthesis. We also report the current classification performance of the system.

Abstract:

This paper explores the field of virtual reality and how immersion and presences can be increased when it comes to navigation and interaction with Virtual Environments. The availability of VR technology has sparked a trend, especially in game development. Old ways of designing for interactive environments have tobe revised. This is done by exploring the massive body of work done on VR, exploring its underlying concepts, using tested design techniques and ways of evaluating interaction for VR. A design suggestion in the form of utilizing a tablet device as the main input device is derived. By u

Abstract:

In recent years, research on embodied cognition has inspired a number of studies on multimedia learning and instructional psychology. However, in contrast to traditional research on education and multimedia learning, studies on embodied learning (i.e., focusing on bodily action and perception in the context of education) in some cases pose new problems for the measurement of cognitive load. This review provides an overview over recent studies on embodied learning in which cognitive load was measured using surveys, behavioral data, or physiological measures.

As technology progresses, we become surrounded with an ever increasing number of devices. Information can now be persistently represented beyond a single screen and a single session. In the educational context, we see a rapid adoption of the panoply of devices, but often without any careful thought. Devices in isolation are unlikely to enable effective learning. This research explores how devices function in technological display and device ecologies or ecosystems to support human thinking, learning and sensemaking.

Abstract:

Introduction Research in the field of embodied cognition is occupied with a variety of research questions stemming from the idea that cognition is deeply connected with bodily aspects such as perception and action (Barsalou, 1999, 2008). However, some embodiment studies have been identified to exhibit problems such as non-replicable results (Lakens, 2014). With this article, we wish to accomplish three aims: exemplifying ways of categorizing embodied cognition research in an informative manner; providing guidelines on how to identify problematic study designs; suggesting solutions for potenti

Movement-based interactive systems for play came into the spotlight over a decade ago, and were met with enthusiasm by the general public as well as the Human-Computer Interaction research community. Yet a decade of research and practice has not fully addressed the challenge of designing for the moving body and play. This thesis argues that often, the role of the technology to sustain the play activity, and to drive the design process, has been over-emphasized, and has resulted in limited design possibilities.

<p> My dissertation explores how elicited gestures can support 6th grade students’ understanding of nonlinear dynamics of complex systems. My hypothesis is that elicited gestures make these patterns salient to the student, who learns about these quantitative dynamics via embodied mechanisms.

The ESPD elicits bimanual gestures to represent nonlinear changes between two quantities. I explore how the learning from elicited gestures can take place at three different granul

Mathematics instruction and discourse typically involve two modes of communication: speech and graphical presentation. For the communication to remain situated, dynamic synchrony must be maintained between the speech and dynamic focus in the graphics. Sighted students use vision for two purposes: access to graphical material and awareness of embodied behavior. This embodiment awareness keeps communication situated with visual material and speech. Our goal is to assist students who are blind or visually impaired (SBVI) in the access to such instruction/communication. We employ the typical app

Abstract:

Three-dimensional literature is a virtually non-existent or in any case very rare and emergent digital art form, defined by the author as a unit of text, which is not confined to the two-dimensional layout of print literature, but instead mediated across all three axes of a virtual space. In collaboration with two artists the author explores through a bodystorming workshop how writers and readers could create and experience three-dimensional literature in mixed reality, by using mobile devices that are equipped with motion sensors, which enable users to perform embodied interactions as an inte

Abstract:

Digital implants have become a new frontier for body hackers, technology enthusiasts and disruptive innovation developers, who seek to service this technology for themselves and to new users. This thesis has explored conditions for future user adoption of human body augmentation with digital implants. The conditions explored were mainly self-beneficial health optimization through technology, self-quantification or convenience scenarios. Applying Diffusion Of Innovation theory, Value-based Acceptance Model and research through design methods were used. The process consisted of quantitative and

Abstract:

L'altération du sexe des femmes africaines et afropéennes a souvent été appréhendée comme relevant d'institutions culturelles, de conventions, ou encore de normes sociales régissant les rapports sociaux de sexe dans les groupes la mettant en œuvre. Privilégiant plutôt une interprétation en termes de technologie – le dispositif de la lame comme ensemble de discours, pratiques et expériences incorporées – cette thèse étudie le dispositif de la "chirurgie des mutilations" à propos duquel elle se pose deux questions.

It was analyzed if instructions on a head-worn Augmented Reality display (AR-HWD) are better for manual industrial assembly tasks than instructions on a stationary screen. A prototype was built which consisted of virtual instruction screens for two example assembly tasks. In a comparison study participants performed the tasks with instructions through an AR-HWD and alternatively through a stationary screen. Questionnaires, interviews and observation notes were used to evaluate the task performances and the user experience. The study revealed that the users were excited and enjoyed trying the t

Utilizing a conceptual framework for grounded embodied pedagogy called Instructional Embodiment, learners physically enacted (Direct Embodiment) and mentally simulated (Imagined Embodiment) the actions and events as presented within pre-defined Scripts

博士<br>國立中央大學<br>資訊工程學系<br>102<br>本論文研究如何運用體感互動設備來幫助學生能在教室內進行主動學習，在許多教育研究上已證實，學生能主動學習時，學習成效會比學生以被動的方式進行效果高很多，雖然目前的科技能提供學生在教室內主動學習的機會，但是使用起來仍不太理想，使得許多老師在教學時，對於採用主動式學習的教學輔具仍很保留，使得目前的課堂教學仍是讓學生以被動聽講的方式進行居多，因此本論文探討如何設計能讓學生在教室內進行主動學習的環境。主動學習的核心要素為學生的學習活動和參與度，因此本研究從學生的身體動作著手，探究如何能讓學生在情境中以自然的方式來與模擬環境互動，體現認知理論也強調學習者學習過程的身體動作，也是重要認知的一部分，剛好現今的體感互動科技已成熟，如微軟的體感控制器－Kinect，取代了傳統人類透過鍵盤、滑鼠和電腦互動的方式，而本研究則以此工具，設計開發了能讓學生在教室內進行主動學習的輔助學習系統。在教室內能讓學生走入情境中以自然的肢體互動運用所學知識解決面臨的問題是不容易的，但體感控制科技的發明卻在此議題上露出了曙光，學生能因此走入虛擬情境中，以體感互動的方式主動進行學習，也能看到學生自己的影像在情境中及時的呈現，因此本研究提出了能讓學生自我觀察的學習模式，以直覺的方式來與學習情境互動，學生能與投影布幕中的虛擬人對話互動，學生也能同時觀察到自

Abstract:

碩士<br>國立臺北大學<br>經濟學系<br>95<br>In this paper, the endogenous growth model developed by van Zon and Yetkiner (2003) is extended to explore the relationship among energy use, CO2 abatement, and economic growth. We illustrate how energy policy, climate policy, and R&D subsidy policy should be designed and coordinated so that the CO2 abatement target is achieved without affecting economic growth. The focus of this paper is to compare the effect of energy tax on economic growth with that of carbon tax, given the same CO2 abatement target. Besides, the scenarios of tax recycling as a subsidy on R&D u
