But don’t get too cozy — your heat source could make you sick, or worse. Carbon monoxide poisoning kills almost 500 people and sends another 15,200 to hos- pitals each year in the United States, accord- ing to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless and toxic gas, can come from fuel-burning machines, such as gas-fired appliances, char- coal grills, wood-burning furnaces and fire- places, and motor vehicles, according to the U.S. Fire Administration.

    FloorPlay: Design and evaluation of a system to motivate physical activity in office workers Daniel Bryan Peter Harrison "Project report submitted in part fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science (Human-Computer Interaction with Ergonomics) in the Faculty of Brain Sciences, University College London, 2012." NOTE BY THE UNIVERSITY This project report is submitted as an examination paper. No responsibility can be held by London University for the accuracy or completeness of the material therein. Acknowledgements This was a very ambitious MSc project, and as such there are a lot of people I’d like to thank. I’d first like to thank Jon Bird and Paul Marshall, for all of their support and assistance in producing and installing the system, and ultimately getting this report written. They offered great help throughout the project; the project wouldn’t have came together without them. I’d also like to thank all of the other academic and support staff that have taught and helped me over the past twelve months on the Masters’ degree. The Technical Support Group staff, especially Dave Twinsleton, were also a great help with installing various parts of the system, including the wiring for the interactive surface and the wireless network in the stairwell. My friend, Greg Booth, also very kindly took a long day away from home to come to UCL and help me install parts of the system. Fran Allfrey and James Owers kindly allowed me to stay at their home when it was either too late or when I was too exhausted to take the train home.

  • Performing Perception—Staging Aesthetics of Interaction
    Performing Perception—Staging Aesthetics of Interaction PETER DALSGAARD and LONE KOEFOED HANSEN University of Aarhus In interaction design for experience-oriented uses of technology, a central facet of aesthetics of in- teraction is rooted in the user’s experience of herself “performing her perception.” By drawing on performance (theater) theory, phenomenology and sociology and with references to recent HCI-work on the relation between the system and the performer/user and the spectator’s re- lation to this dynamic, we show how the user is simultaneously operator, performer and spec- tator when interacting. By engaging with the system, she continuously acts out these three roles and her awareness of them is crucial in her experience. We argue that this 3-in-1 is always already shaping the user’s understanding and perception of her interaction as it is 13 staged through her experience of the object’s form and expression. Through examples ranging from everyday technologies utilizing performances of interaction to spatial contemporary art- works, digital as well as analogue, we address the notion of the performative spectator and the spectating performer. We demonstrate how perception is also performative and how focus on this aspect seems to be crucial when designing experience-oriented products, systems and services. Categories and Subject Descriptors: H.1.2 [Models and Principles]: User/Machine Systems— Human factors; H.5.2 [Information Interfaces and Presentation]: User Interfaces—Theory and methods; J.5 [Computer Applications]: Arts and Humanities—Performing arts (e.g., dance, music) General Terms: Design, Human Factors, Theory Additional Key Words and Phrases: Aesthetics, interaction design, human-computer interaction, art, performance theory, experience design ACM Reference Format: Dalsgaard, P.

  • Miguel Balauag STS145 Dance Dance Revolution: a True Revolution
    Miguel Balauag STS145 Dance Dance Revolution: A True Revolution Introduction This is not your typical arcade game. It stands at a height of eight feet, two feet larger than most arcade cabinets. Lights shine down as dance music thumps out of the two large speakers on the cabinet’s base. There is no joystick or array of circular buttons; instead, you stand on a metal platform with four pressure panels beneath your feet and a handbar behind you. A set of stationary arrows is at the top of the screen, while other arrows rise from the bottom. Each one corresponds to a direction (up, left, down, or right), and as each one reaches the top, you step on the corresponding panel – stomp, stomp, stomp. The steps match the beats of the song, and the game tells you how good your timing is (words like “Perfect,” “Great,” or “Miss” flash on-screen as each arrow floats off the screen). Welcome to Dance Dance Revolution. At a time when the arcade industry was shrinking, video games were under fire for violent content, and music games were relatively unsuccessful, Dance Dance Revolution defied all expectations and became the biggest coin-op craze of recent times. It has evolved into a cultural phenomenon, making appearances in news articles, talk shows, a Skechers commercial, and television shows such as FOX’s King of the Hill. In many ways, it has risen above most video games in the public consciousness. But most importantly, Dance Dance Revolution has largely developed into a social arena with its own communities and cultures.

We kicked off the competition with counselors participating in the “Face-Off” each morning. Wacky relays ranged from watermelon-eating to balloon-passing and scooter-racing, as Tan Toros and Red Riders cheered for their staff. Egg-tossing, Slip ‘n’ Slide, you name it - it was part of the “Face-Off”!

  • Download Dance Dance Revolution Step Files Dance Dance Revolution 4Thmix PSX Rom
    download dance dance revolution step files Dance Dance Revolution 4thMix PSX Rom. There are two components for playing a psx Dance Dance Revolution 4thMix rom on your PC. The first component is the emulation program which can imitate the psx OS and software. The second component is the Dance Dance Revolution 4thMix rom itself to play on the emulator. Step 1: you can start by downloading a reliable and bug free emulator. We’d suggest Retroarch – it’s open source, fast and one of the most frequently updated. Once you have finished downloading Retroarch , extract the downloaded .zip file to a location, for example your Desktop. After, double click the RetroArch-1.7.5-x86-setup.exe file in order to start the emulator. Your emulator will now be ready to play Dance Dance Revolution 4thMix rom . But now you’ll need to find the correct ROMs online. A ROM is essentially a virtual version of the game that needs to be loaded into the emulator. Step 2: return to Retroarch and hit File > Open . Navigate to the downloaded .exe file and double click it to open it. The game will now run on the emulator and you can play the game freely. Tip: Saving games on an emulator functions a little differently. The integrated save system will not save your progress. Instead, you’ll need to click File > Save State and then choose an empty slot. You can save your progress in whatever point you like within the game, not only on the official checkpoints offered by the game.

  • The Fifth Act
    The Fifth Act Charlie Bullock So this happened back, like, four or five years ago, when I was working for a temp agency in Chicago. So like early 2022, I think. Maybe late February. And it was about 8:30 p.m., and quite dark, and I came home from work (work, that week, was at some Graphic Design firm in Logan Square) to find my roommate Brian sitting on the metal stage of a DDR cabinet and crying. I should note at the outset that “DDR” is Dance Dance Revolution, a pioneering series of dance and rhythm games that were quite popular in America as recently as the early teens, and that continue to enjoy healthy sales to this day in Japan and New Zealand. And I should clarify that I don’t mean that Brian was sitting and crying on a DDR pad, like, the foldy plastic things that you can buy for forty bucks and plug into your Xbox. Brian is serious about rhythm games; Brian has two first-generation arcade cabinets from 1998, which weigh like 440 pounds each. I know how much they weigh because I helped him move them into our two-bedroom Pilsen apartment,1 which luckily is on the first floor but which not so luckily does not have a communal living space so much as it has like a communal hallway between the front door and the kitchen, which hallway is almost wide enough to allow a pedestrian of average width to comfortably slip by the two arcade ‘cabs’ and get to his room.
