The successful recognition of sign language gestures by computer systems would greatly improve communications between the deaf and hearers. This work evaluates usage electromyogram (EMG) data provided Myo armband as features for classification 20 stationary letter from Brazilian Sign Language (LIBRAS) alphabet. was performed binary Support Vector Machines (SVMs), trained with a one-vs-all strategy. results obtained show that it is possible to identify gestures, but substantial limitations...

Validating robotics projects is a hard task. It demands more than intellectual effort, but also specific hardware usage, turning the designed project expensive and because of that, unviable to be executed. This process can improved by use 3D simulators, which have been developed directed scenarios such as architecture, games virtual reality experiences, applied robotics. There are available many simulator options in market, paid or free. Considering options, designer may questions on how...

Motion analysis is an area with several applications for health, sports, and entertainment. The high cost of state-of-the-art equipment in the health field makes it unfeasible to apply this technique clinics’ routines. In vein, RGB-D RGB equipment, which have joint tracking tools, are tested portable low-cost solutions enable computational motion analysis. recent release Google MediaPipe, a inference that uses conventional cameras, can be considered milestone due its ability estimate depth...

This paper proposes the use of a wearable device for visualization and control in association with an UAV applied to structural inspection buildings. More specifically, AR. Drone is controlled through head positions gestures performed by operator wearing Google Glass, images captured drone are visualized on Glass's screen. We discuss problems that arise when such solution developed, along limitations come from today's available technology how overcome them.

This paper explores the application of Self-Concepts, a Semantic-Differential Scale-based methodology, to evaluate Serious Game designed for cognitive impairment assessment using MoCA test and augmented reality (AR) mobility analysis. A case study involved seven elderly participants. Despite some challenges in navigating AR environment tests, self-concept evaluations consistently demonstrated high user expectations positive experiences with digital artifact. validates process highlights...

O presente artigo aborda a evolução da representação do corpo masculino na moda contemporânea, destacando transição de uma imagem delgada e associada à homossexualidade AIDS para um ideal musculoso viril. A pesquisa foca influência mercado poder compra dos grupos homossexuais nessa transformação. Discute-se como masculinidade é construção social mídia disseminam o objeto desejo consumo. análise abrange desde ascensão direitos das mulheres até papel fotografia redes sociais perpetuação desse...

Google glass is a hands-free, head-mounted intelligent device that can be worn as wearable computing eyewear. This work discusses its potential in education by proposing an application, the Glassist, aiming at helping teachers management tasks. The application allows to create individual portfolios for students, manage their information and share it with peers. tool uses Augmented Reality recognize students face display relevant about them. We also discuss some preliminary results regarding...

The use of low-cost RGB-D sensors became popular with the release Microsoft Kinect V1, in 2010. From that time on, different companies such as ASUS, Orbbec, and Intel have developed their solutions for capturing 3D data. This work proposes an analysis how well 10 perform while applied to a reconstruction task. comparison was possible by using COMAU's e.Do robotic Arm ensuring all performed same set 3 paths RGB Depth data from test environment. A customized version RTAB-map, open-source...

We introduce a parallel algorithm to solve approximate and exact nearest neighbor queries on the GPU, exploiting its massively processing power. Both data structure construction are performed avoiding memory copies from system device memory. This achieves real-time performance, enabling usage in dynamic scenarios, by minimizing sorting comparisons needed for large K value. The underlying spatial subdivision handles 3D points is based grid hashing. Users can specify size interactively....

Background The auditory processing impairments frequently observed in aphasia are being slowly clarified by using eventrelated potentials (ERPs), a method that allows brain processes to be at high temporal resolution. Mismatch negativity (MMN) and the N2b amplitude reflect aspects of echoic memory, attention, phonological representation. This study evaluates speech pure tones an anomic subject 6 years after stroke, investigates whether ERPs can detect possible neurophysiologic sequelae...

Exploring the potential of NFTs and metaverses can make them tools for cultural preservation social sustainability in Brazil. This article provides an overview recent evolution metaverse adoption these technologies by Brazilian communities. The main focus this study is on involvement inclusion Indigenous peoples technological sphere, emphasizing importance ensuring respect forest when including NFT projects. Several existing solutions that facilitate initiatives are exemplified, one such...

The development of applications for high-performance Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) based embedded systems is a long and error-prone process. Typically, developers need to be deeply involved in all the stages translation optimization an application described high-level programming language lower-level design description ensure solution meets required functionality performance. This paper describes use novel aspect-oriented hardware/software approach FPGA-based platforms. design-flow...

This paper explores and evaluates the main limitations associated with AI-based 360 panorama generation. We make use of a free generator, Skybox AI, to highlight some current present in automatic generation from text input. By recognizing addressing these constraints, researchers practitioners can pave way for enhanced al-gorithms systems capable delivering more immersive realistic panoramic experiences.
