This study investigated the implementation of a hand model and contact simulation method for the purpose of improving the reality of object manipulation in a virtual environment. The study focused both on the hand tracking method that takes advantage of nails and also contact simulation using a deformable hand model. The manipulation of an object using a hand, is known to make more frequent use of...
What if you could discover your health status by looking at yourself in the mirror? Since November 2013, the EU FP7 Project SEMEOTICONS is working to make this possible. The Project is building a multi-sensory device, having the form of a conventional mirror, able to read the semeiotic code of the face and detect possible evidence of the onset of cardio-metabolic diseases. The device, called Wize...
The computer's ability to recognize human emotional states given physiological signals is gaining in popularity to create empathetic systems such as learning environments, health care systems and videogames. Despite that, there are few frameworks, libraries, architectures, or software tools, which allow systems developers to easily integrate emotion recognition into their software projects. The work...
In the paper we describe a method to extract the topography of an impressed current for our bounded electrical impedance tomography (bEIT) studies. The frequency of the impressed current is low (up to a few hundred Hz), and is buried in background EEG and other noise. For the development of the extraction method, special consideration is given to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio. The standard lock-in...
