Benefitting from the Outdoor Environment: How to design (health)care facilities' in- and outdoor spaces to contribute to end-users' physical and mental health and well-being. University of Antwerp

Margo Annemans
Henry van de Velde
Interacting with the outdoor environment has a positive impact on people's physical and mental health and well-being. Nevertheless, (health)care facilities are usually not designed for patients, residents, visitors, and staff to fully benefit from the opportunity to experience and use the outdoor environment. Physical, mental, and organisational obstacles impact on their interaction with the outdoor environment. These obstacles often relate to ...

May AI Help You? Human-AI Interaction in End-User User Interface Development Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Beat Signer, Audrey Sanctorum
Informatics and Applied Informatics, Faculty of Sciences and Bioengineering Sciences
With the rise of different electronic devices such as smartphones,
tablets and smartwatches, and the emergence of "smart things"
forming part of the Internet of Things (IoT), user interfaces (UIs) have
to be adapted in order to cope with the different input and output
methods as well as device characteristics. In addition to the
challenges dealing with these rapidly changing technologies, user
interface designers ...

Exploiting metadata, ontologies and semantics to design/enhance new end-user experiences for adaptive pervasive computing environments. KU Leuven

Patrick De Causmaecker
Computer Science, Kulak Kortrijk Campus, Comparative, Historical and Applied Linguistics, Kulak Kortrijk Campus, Informatics Section
Adaptive Systems and Pervasive Computing change the face of computing and redefine the way people interact with the technology. Pioneers pursuea vision that technology is seamlessly situated in peoples life and adapts itself to the characteristics, requirements, and needs of the usersand the environment without any distraction at the user side. Adaptive Systems research mostly focuses on individual applications that can alter their interface, ...

End-User Development of Intelligible Internet-of-Things Objects and Applications. Hasselt University

Kris LUYTEN
Applied Computer Science Lab
The emerging trend of Internet of Things (IoT) refers to networks of physical objects with autonomous processing capability and various sensors. The number and diversity of IoT objects in our daily environments, and their complex processing and communication capabilities, makes taking control over IoT objects and applications an overwhelming task for end-users. This is reinforced by the fact that IoT objects and applications often aim to be ...

Technology transfer of RF Nonlinear Verification Device to end-user (Trove) KU Leuven

Dominique Schreurs
Waves: Core Research and Engineering (WaveCore)

The objective of the project is to create impact from selected results and development knowhow of the EMRP
JRP SIB62 HFCircuits. Nonlinear characterisation of components and systems allows designers to use devices
over a wider range and allows power efficient amplifier designs, benefitting telecommunication and
manufacturing sectors. At a technology level, the key elements of a nonlinear VNA calibration are distributed
across ...

End-User Visual Programming Techniques for Developing Sensor-Based System Hasselt University

Raf RAMAKERS
Applied Computer Science Lab
Now in the era of the Internet of Things (IoT), configuring, adapting, and DIY hacking of sensor-based systems becomes increasingly popular in various domains, including smart homes and health monitoring. While engineers and maker enthusiasts build their own sensor systems or hack into existing ones, non-engineers have a lack of technical skills to program an electronic sensor system. Over the past few years, non-engineers in various domains ...

Enabling Participation in Performance-Driven Architectural Design in the Early Design Stage KU Leuven

Burak Pak
Urban Design, Urbanism, Landscape and Planning

Parametric thinking in design has been present in the strategies and design thinking of architects, engineers and design teams even before the emergence of the Computer-Aided parametric tools; architects and engineers take into consideration different parameters related to the context of the designed artifact. With the emergence of Computer-Aided Design tools integrating parametric capabilities, the terms “parametric design”, “parametric ...

Exploring the effectiveness of learning UI design by feedback ENable user interface simulation: the FENIkS approach. KU Leuven

Monique Snoeck
Information Systems Engineering Research Group (LIRIS) (main work address Leuven)

The Information Technology industry is characterized by a heterogeneity of platforms, devices, modalities, users with different characteristics and skills, among others, factors which have been considered as challenges to deal with when developing software. Resultantly, there is a growing number of highly complex software applications with a large variety of features.

In particular the heterogeneity of platforms and user ...

INNOVATIVE NUCLEIC ACID BASED STRATEGIES FOR FIBER OPTIC SURFACE PLASMON RESONANCE BIOSENSOR DESIGN KU Leuven

Jeroen Lammertyn
Division of Mechatronics, Biostatistics and Sensors (MeBioS), Mechatronics, Biostatistics and Sensors (MeBioS)

The diverse information embedded in the specific sequence of DNA molecules has been feeding our understanding and insights in disease heritage, spreading and evolution. Ultrasensitive detection of the DNA molecules themselves is crucial for the early-stage detection of several diseases, as it facilitates the minimization of actual disease burden. Gold standard technologies, such as the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), are mainly ...

Development and validation of a new framework for the integration of technical and consumer-experience-based materials selection throughout the design process. University of Antwerp

Ingrid Moons
Product development, Marketing
With the emergence of new materials, the available set of materials is rapidly growing both in type and number, each with their own characteristics and applications. Hence, materials selection in product design is a complex and costly process. Since people interact with materials through products, the products' materials should not only meet technical qualifications, but also appeal to the senses of the consumer, attribute specific meanings, ...
