In this paper, as a hybrid approach to place greater emphasis on existing cues in Computer Mediated Communication (CMC), the authors explore emotional augmentation benefit of vibro-tactile stimulation, color lighting, and simultaneous transmission both signals accompany text messages. Ring U, A ring-shaped wearable system aimed at promoting communications between people using lighting expressions, is proposed implementation method. The result experiment has shown that non-verbal stimuli can...

Families have strong desires to fun together, even at a distance. "Food Media" is an exploration of appropriating food and activities as medium for family communication entertainment, across generations over Traditionally, has always been social hub which brings people together entertainment.

The advent of Internet technologies since decades ago has propelled distance learning drastically. In this modern world, knowledge develops so fast that the amount intellectual information needs to be learnt before it becomes obsolete again is huge. Distance through use advantage being able get across students remotely and effortlessly. other advantage, which main focus paper, are learn from their instructors on an entirely new media platform - Internet-enabled tangible user interface. This...

In this paper we describe Ring*U which is a ring-shaped, wearable system for sharing intimate, interpersonal interactions remotely through subtle colored lighting and tactile expressions. We present an overview of the system. also our next objectives future work.

Objectives . Pseudomonas aeruginosa shows higher mortality rate compared to other bacterial infections and is susceptible a limited number of antimicrobial agents. Considering inadequate empirical treatment bacteremia has been associated with increased mortality, it important for emergency physicians identify by P. Methods This was single-center retrospective case-control study investigate the clinical predictors patients diagnosed as in department (ED) from June 2012 December 2016. Patients...

In this study, a haptic device is proposed for virtual reality (VR) applications. The linked to the bundle controller of VR device. in study force-feedback that focuses on sensation felt by hand rather than feeling tool colliding with object. provides sensations centrifugal or inertial forces due weight when user swings and reaction force stabs pokes an object tool. generated type was measured examined determine whether actually using environment provided. addition, we conducted two types...

A social psychologist Fritz Heider [Heider 1946] argued that liking or disliking a person depends on how the is positively negatively linked to other liked disliked entities. Therefore, having ability express lasting impression others could play an important role in interpersonal relationships.

Dogs often express their stress through physical motions that can be recognized by owners. We propose a mobile application analyzes companion dog’s behavior and three-dimensional poses via deep learning. As existing research on pose estimation has focused humans, obtaining large dataset comprising images showing animal joint locations is challenge. Nevertheless, we generated such used it to train an AI model. Furthermore, analyzed circling behavior, which associated with in dogs. To this...
