Demos
A collection of videos illustrating our research.
SMELLODI project
The video presents a final study we conducted with the SMELLODI project. It demonstrates the our ML-based method for capturing and reproducing complex odor profiles. We were able to validate the suitability of this method by using our self-constructed multichannel odor display (MOD) alongside an electronic nose based on differential mobility spectrometry (DMS) in reproducing odors across different sites.
ESC is a part of TAUCHI
Through constructive and experimental research, TAUCHI aims to obtain a profound understanding of the phenomena that affect and regulate human-technology interaction, to apply this knowledge in creating better ways of interaction, particularly utilizing less used modalities, and to improve the quality of life and inclusion of select user groups (including mobile users, physically challenged users, visually impaired, children and elderly people), enabling their use of information and communication technology.
Extended Cognition
FaceHugger, a device developed in collaboration with Nokia Research Center, uses capacitance sensors to measure distance to skin. These distances measured from 22 locations on a human face can provide a fingerprint of various facial expressions that can be detected from the measurements in real time. The video demonstrates how such a technology could be utilized in life-logging scenarios.
Multimodal In-Vehicle Infotainment System Interaction
The set of demos explore novel interaction experiences using In-Vehicle systems for current and future autonomous vehicles. The demos include:
- Light Operated Vibrotactile Screen
- 4CAPS: Quad Channel Air Pulse Generator
- Pneumatic Sub-woofer based tactile touchscreen Interaction
- Linear Tactile Screen Guard (Vertical Force Actuation on Ridged Glass Displays)
- Longitudinal Screen Excited with Tangential Actuation
- Fukoku Haptic Seat with rotation haptic cue
- Haptic Seat + with vertical actuation
Early Face Interface
A novel prototype for HCI called the wireless Face Interface was presented. It was built on the frames of protective glasses housing both, the wearable eye tracker for pointing and the capacitive sensor for selecting the objects. The use of prototype was evaluated using a wider selection of tasks than earlier studies for similar techniques have done. The results showed that the Face Interface technique was functional in both cases, using either frowning technique or raising the eyebrows technique in object selection. Thus, it offers more flexibility for the user than previous similar techniques.
