INTRODUCTION After the first sunglasses invented by Sam Foster in the 1920’s, they were used almost for every purpose but not only as a fashion item. Today people have known more and more about the sun’s harmful effects on the eyes, such as cataracts, macular degeneration, and photokeratitis. Therefore, the primary function of sunglasses and goggles has been providing a protection to the eyes from sun light damages and influences1-3. The traditional sunglasses materials 4 include plastic (polycarbonate and CR-39 resins) and crown glass , (a) which are transparent or tinted. Sunglasses and goggles of this design have only one fixed color state and the transparency is uncontrollable. We know that during outdoor activities such as motorcycling and skiing, sunlight conditions can vary considerably, and the varying light conditions could be a problem to users with traditional sunglasses and goggles. Smart window materials are characterized by their ability to adjust the light transmission upon application of an electric potential, and can be utilized to solve this problem. Current active materials used in smart window devices mainly include suspended particles, liquid crystals and (b) electrochromics5. Suspended particle devices (SPD) and liquid crystal devices (LCD) are capable of switching quickly and perform high Figure 1. Schematic representation of the ECD construction (a), and transmission range, but their drawbacks are also obvious. High voltage the design of lens of smart sunglasses (b) is needed for both of SPD and LCD to operate. The high production cost, complex manufacturing, lack of memory function, and limited EXPERIMENTAL color availability restrict them from being used in developing smart The EC material, PProDOT-Me2 monomer was synthesized in our 7, 8 sunglasses and goggles. lab via an improved route reported in the literature .

However, this transition metal oxide electrochromics show a purchased from Alfa Aesar.

    SMART GLASSES DESIGN EXPLORING USER PERCEPTION OF WEARABLE COMPUTING Master Thesis University of Lapland Faculty of Art and Design Department of Industrial Design Spring 2016 Vahab Pour Roudsari Farnaz 0371195 Abstract University of Lapland Faculty of Art and Design Title: Smart Glasses Design-Exploring user perception of wearable computing Author: Vahab Pour Roudsari Farnaz Degree Program: Industrial Design Type: Master Thesis Pages: 95 Year: 2016 As technology is growing rapidly and integrating itself to all aspects of people’s life, designers and developers try to provide a more pleasant experience of technology to people. One of the technology trends which aims to make life easier is wearable computing. Wearables aim to assist people to be in control of their life by augmenting the real life with extra information constantly and ubiquitously. One of the growing trends of wearable computing is Head Mounted Displays (HMD), as the head is a great gateway to receive audio, visual and haptic information. Also due to the Google Glass project, wearables in form of glasses gained much more attention during last years. However, because of the early stages of the technology adaptation, there is still much to explore on social acceptancy, key use cases and design directions of glasses as a type of wearable computing. This thesis has two stages. In the first stage, the aim is to explore the different use cases of a wearable eye tracker concept in different context and study the user’s perception of such a device. To accomplish this objective a user study with (n=12) participants were conducted using the experience sampling methods (ESM) and employing a mock-up of a smart-glasses as a design probe.

  • Service Animals in Laboratories
    2017 Accommodating Students with Service Animals in Teaching Laboratories PREPARED BY THE CHEMICAL SAFETY COMMITTEE IN COOPERATION WITH DISABILITY SUPPORT SERVICES AND THE OFFICE OF EQUITY AND COMPLIANCE NOVEMBER 2017 GUIDANCE FOR LAB EMPLOYEES Scope This guidance applies to University employees who need to accommodate students with conditions or disabilities (permanent or temporary) that require a service animal. This is not intended to substitute for guidance from Disability Support Services (DSS), nor does this override the University policy for Animals in Buildings. All students with disabilities are encouraged to access the services available through DSS, however, students who require a service animal are not required to contact DSS. This guideline is intended for teaching laboratory employees but may be used for research laboratory applications as well. Definition The ADA defines a service animal as: “any dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability, including a physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual, or other mental disability. Other species of animals, whether wild or domestic, trained or untrained, are not service animals for the purposes of this definition.” 28CFR Part 35 A provision of the final rule covers miniature horses that have been trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability; 28 CFR 35.136(i). Goal The University intends all students to be safe and successful in the laboratories. We welcome students to share any personal information they feel is pertinent for their instructors to have in order to help the student be successful.
