Introduction: As a result of Industry 5.0’s technological advancements, collaborative robots (cobots) have emerged as pivotal enablers for refining manufacturing processes while re-focusing on humans. However, the successful integration these cutting-edge tools hinges better understanding human factors when interacting with such new technologies, eventually fostering workers’ trust and acceptance promoting low-fatigue work. This study thus delves into intricate dynamics human-cobot...
Virtual Reality (VR) is a popular technology to recreate reality-like scenarios, including dangerous ones, in realistic but safe way. Because of this potential, VR based research has been applied psychology studies provide training and education about how behave emergencies such as fires, earthquakes, floods, or typhoons. All these different virtual scenarios have built observe people react emergencies, what behaviors they adopted, level stress generated, finally, increase citizens' safety....
The exploitation of Virtual and Augmented Reality in the context cultural heritage tourism is increasing. These new technologies enable to integrate traditional contents innovative experience modalities. Several sites provide visitors with such systems create an immersive visiting experience. However, limited attention has been paid so far naturalistic sites. This paper describes project "This (not) just a tree", applied research aiming develop advanced system exploiting technology, which...
Physical inactivity is a plague for public health, especially in Western Countries. Among the countermeasures, mobile applications promoting physical activity seem particularly promising, thanks to spread and adoption of devices. However, dropout rates users are high, thereby calling strategies increase retention rates. Moreover, user testing can be problematic, because it typically conducted laboratory, leading limited ecological validity. In present research, we developed custom app...
<h3>Background</h3> Potency of a cell therapy is commonly assessed through immune killing assays by creating co-cultures effector (E) and target (T) cells at varying E:T ratios. Conventional methods require many which are not always available thus limiting the number conditions that can be tested. Moreover, these hundreds error-prone pipetting steps. <h3>Methods</h3> VivaCyte powered with microfluidic CC-Array technology integrated fully automated workflow, was used to miniaturize...
The COVID-19 spread abruptly changed the fruition of indoor environments, where necessary adaptive measures have since been implemented. Buildings open to public were suddenly equipped with physical devices aiming encourage users’ appropriate behaviors, such as hand sanitizing, social distancing, and temperature monitoring. Through a twofold architectural-psychological perspective, paper presents research understand how users perceive these in Italian context identify design features that...
Floods are an increasingly frequent phenomenon with catastrophic consequences for citizens and cities. Virtual reality (VR) has become a valuable training tool, simulating inaccessible or hazardous situations like emergencies risk environments. This study evaluates designed virtual riverbank flood scenario. Beyond imparting factual knowledge, this environment aims to facilitate experiential learning by enabling users repeatedly practice correct behaviors safely. We investigate the impact...
The restrictions brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic have challenged not only small businesses, such as local shops, but also large companies, those involved in organization of trade shows. Much and majority events
