Human-robot interaction in concept acquisition: a computational model Ghent University
This paper presents a discussion and simulation results which support the case for interaction during the acquisition of conceptual knowledge. Taking a developmental perspective, we first review a number of relevant insights on word-meaning acquisition in young children and specifically focus on concept learning supported by linguistic input. We present a computational model implementing a number of acquisition strategies, which enable a ...
Indirect Touch Manipulation for Interaction with Stereoscopic Displays KU Leuven
Research on 3D interaction has explored the application of multi-touch technologies to 3D stereoscopic displays. However, the ability to perceive 3D objects at different depths (in front or behind the screen surface) conflicts with the necessity of expressing inputs on the screen surface. Touching the screen increases the risk of causing the vergence-accommodation conflict which can lead to the loss of the stereoscopic effect or cause ...
Feet Movement in Desktop 3D Interaction KU Leuven
In this paper we present an exploratory work on the use of foot movements to support fundamental 3D interaction tasks. Depth cameras such as the Microsoft Kinect are now able to track users' motion unobtrusively, making it possible to draw on the spatial context of gestures and movements to control 3D UIs. Whereas multitouch and mid-air hand gestures have been explored extensively for this purpose, little work has looked at how the same can be ...
StreetTalk: Participative Design of Situated Public Displays for Urban Neighbourhood Interaction KU Leuven
As modern information communication technologies are increasingly integrated in our public environment, challenges arise to render them locally relevant and meaningful. In this paper, we describe the design and evaluation of StreetTalk, a set of situated public displays attached to house facades that were specifically designed to facilitate communication and interaction between households and their local neighborhood. We report on a ...
