The human sense of smell is powerful. However, the way we use as an interaction modality in human–computer (HCI) limited. We lack a common reference point to guide designers’ choices when using smell. Here, map out olfactory design space provide designers with such guidance. identified four key features: (i) chemical, (ii) emotional, (iii) spatial, and (iv) temporal. Each feature defines building block for smell-based grounded review relevant scientific literature. then demonstrate...
Smell is a powerful tool for conveying and recalling information without requiring visual attention. Previous work identified, however, some challenges caused by user's unfamiliarity with this modality complexity in the scent delivery. We are now able to overcome these challenges, introducing training approach familiarise scent-meaning associations (urgency of message, sender identity) using controllable device scent-delivery. Here we re-validate effectiveness smell as notification present...
We present a novel approach to communicating abstract concepts in cosmology and astrophysics more accessible inclusive manner. describe an exhibit aiming at creating immersive, multisensory metaphorical experience of otherwise imperceptible physical phenomenon — dark matter. Human-Computer Interaction experts physicists co-created journey through matter by exploiting the latest advances haptic olfactory technology. concept design pilot second, improved event, both held London Science Museum,...
Arterial pulse measurement is a crucial indicator of cardiovascular health and prevailing techniques such as resistive force sensors, capacitive sensors oximeters possess challenges in wearability, continuous monitoring, user comfort. In this paper, we present the development novel inductive sensor for non-invasive arterial measurement. The proposed incorporates high-permeability magnetic fillers into flexible silicone based polymeric matrix. operates on principle, that permeability material...
Some algorithms benefit from a hardware digital logic implantation to achieve higher speed or meet specific timing requirements, such as in signal processing, communication, and also when investigating hardware-accelerated machine learning algorithms. We present an extensible, miniature, battery-operated Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) platform for wearable computing IoT research, based on Intel MAX10 FPGA. The is 30x30mm size can be used standalone device, extension similarly sized...
Wearable and home IoT applications require low-power connectivity to maximize battery life. Sensing a modulated electric field, referred as capacitively coupled communication, is promising alternative communication via electromagnetic waves. However, achieving reliable over-the-air through field remains research challenge. We describe an efficient based system using frequency shift keying (FSK) which achieves arm's length range with throughput suitable for real-time sensor streaming or even...
Wearable mobile devices demand seamless connectivity with low power consumption for improved quality of user experience. Capacitively coupled communication that is based on sensing a frequency modulated electric field (several MHz), promising alternative to conventional electromagnetic wave radio links. However, achieving reliable over-the-air as well air-to-body through remains research challenge the presence human body influences performance an e-field channel. Therefore, in this work, we...
Acoustic cameras are a common approach to solving the challenge of sound localisation in non-destructive testing. The required microphone arrays, however, often cumbersome: large number sensors is needed achieve accuracy and their mutual distances need be maximized increase spatial resolution. Current acoustic not easily portable. In this work, we explore whether metamaterials can used create compact cameras, complete autozoom objectives. We present our proof-of-concept prototype, comprising...
