Developing the WP2, Worker-centric HCI/HMI Building Blocks, aims to develop (in a co-creation worker-centric process with shop-floor staff) the smart factory solution’s worker-centric HCI/HMI HCI/HMI building blocks building blocks, characterised by maximum usability, user experience (UX) and technology acceptance. As a preliminary work, or expressed as “parallel guiding work”, Task 2.1, Analysis of Technical Requirements and Technology Monitoring will create and maintain a state of the art regarding available and trending technologies (devices, software developments and tools etc.) within the very dynamic field of today’s HCI technology (smart glasses, smart textiles etc.). Furthermore, Task 2.1 will review new (disrupting) HCI paradigms and will relate them to already established (and sometimes outdated) HCI paradigms. D2.1 is the result of the work of T2.1. Its final objective is to create a vision of the Creating a vision current and future developments of HCI technologies and paradigms that will of current and allow other WP2 tasks to obtain the maximum benefit when implementing HCI future developments of building blocks, as well as support future technologies adaptation as they HCI become available during the project execution. D2.1 will also provide a general technologies evaluation of existing technologies considering their applicability on the factories’ and paradigms shop floor but always observing project objectives and industrial challenges reflected in the project proposal. The technologies evaluation will be provided as a taxonomy of technologies that will be evaluated on a TRL-based scale. The taxonomy will be updated in subsequent versions in order to track the technology maturity evolution during the project life. It will also comment on the observed state of technology. i Project Deliverable 2.1, Volume 1.0 Keywords HCI critical taxonomy, Industry 4.0, Factory of The Future, Shop floor, Smart devices, Wearables, Augmented Reality. ii Project Deliverable 2.1, Volume 1.0 Document authors and reviewers The following individuals have made a direct contribution to the document.

Article Info Received on 21-November-2019, Revised on 12-December-2019, Accepted on 21-December-2019, Published on 26-December-2019. ABSTRACT In this paper we shed light on the advancement in Virtual Reality devices and talk about six latest developments. Virtual reality (VR) is a technology that allows a user to interact with a simulated computer environment, whether that environment is a simulation of the real world or an imaginary world. It is the key to experiencing, feeling and touching the past, the present and the future. It is the means of creating our own world, our own personalized reality. It could range from creating a videogame to taking a virtual tour of the universe, from walking through our own dream house to experiencing a walk through a strange planet. With virtual reality, we can experience the most intimidating and exhausting situations by playing safely and with a learning perspective. However, very few people really know what virtual reality is, what are its basic principles and its open problems.

  • Stardust: Accessible and Transparent GPU Support for Information Visualization Rendering
    Eurographics Conference on Visualization (EuroVis) 2017 Volume 36 (2017), Number 3 J. Heer, T. Ropinski and J. van Wijk (Guest Editors) Stardust: Accessible and Transparent GPU Support for Information Visualization Rendering Donghao Ren1, Bongshin Lee2, and Tobias Höllerer1 1University of California, Santa Barbara, United States 2Microsoft Research, Redmond, United States Abstract Web-based visualization libraries are in wide use, but performance bottlenecks occur when rendering, and especially animating, a large number of graphical marks. While GPU-based rendering can drastically improve performance, that paradigm has a steep learning curve, usually requiring expertise in the computer graphics pipeline and shader programming. In addition, the recent growth of virtual and augmented reality poses a challenge for supporting multiple display environments beyond regular canvases, such as a Head Mounted Display (HMD) and Cave Automatic Virtual Environment (CAVE). In this paper, we introduce a new web-based visualization library called Stardust, which provides a familiar API while leveraging GPU’s processing power. Stardust also enables developers to create both 2D and 3D visualizations for diverse display environments using a uniform API. To demonstrate Stardust’s expressiveness and portability, we present five example visualizations and a coding playground for four display environments. We also evaluate its performance by comparing it against the standard HTML5 Canvas, D3, and Vega. Categories and Subject Descriptors (according to ACM CCS):

The power and potential of data visualization is examined through a brief historical overview and four interconnected themes that provide new opportunities for electronic participation research: data storytelling, in- fographics, data physicalization, and quantified self. The goal is to call attention to this space and encourage a larger community of researchers to explore the possibilities that data visualization can bring.

The document de- scribes the so-called OpenCV 2.x API, which is essentially a C++ API, as opposite to the C-based OpenCV 1.x API. The latter is described in opencv1x.pdf. OpenCV (Open Source Computer Vision Library) is an open source computer vision and machine learning software library. OpenCV was built to provide a common infrastructure for computer vision applications and to accelerate the use of machine perception in the commercial products. Being a BSD-licensed product, OpenCV makes it easy for businesses to utilize and modify the code. The library has more than 2500 optimized algorithms, which includes a comprehensive set of both classic and state-of-the-art computer vision and machine learning algorithms. These algori- thms can be used to detect and recognize faces, identify objects, classify human actions in videos, track camera movements, track moving objects, extract 3D models of objects, produce 3D point clouds from stereo cameras, stitch images together to produce a high resolution image of an entire 1 scene, find similar images from an image database, remove red eyes from images taken using flash, follow eye movements, recognize scenery and establish markers to overlay it with augmented reali- ty, etc.

  • Feeling Is Believing: Using a Force Feedback Joystick to Teach
    Session 3668 Feeling is Believing: Using a Force-Feedback Joystick to Teach Dynamic Systems Christopher Richard, Allison M. Okamura, Mark. R. Cutkosky Center for Design Research, Stanford University Abstract As an innovative approach to teaching the laboratory component of an undergraduate course on dynamic systems, we present the haptic paddle: a low-cost, single-axis, force-feedback joystick. Using the paddle, students not only learned to model and analyze dynamic systems, but by using their sense of touch, they were able to feel the effects of phenomena such as viscous damping, stiffness, and inertia. Feeling the dynamics, in addition to learning the underlying physics, improved students’ understanding and added an element of fun to the course. In this paper, we describe the purpose and design of the haptic paddle, present examples of how the paddle was integrated into laboratory exercises, and show the results of student evaluations. 1. Introduction Engineering educators are continually challenged to provide physical examples in order to make course material more interesting and accessible to students. Laboratory exercises, software simulations, and in-class demonstrations are all helpful in developing students’ ability to connect theoretical principles with physical reality. The literature contains several examples of computer- based dynamic simulations being used for pedagogical purposed 1,4,9. But even with these aids, concepts such as eigenvalues, instability, and time constants can seem mysterious to students encountering them for the first time. Haptic interfaces, which allow a user to feel a virtual environment, are promising tools for helping students obtain an understanding of these physical phenomena. 1.1 The Field of Haptics The word haptic means relating to or based on the sense of touch.

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. The paper describes basic principles of a radio-based indoor localization and focuses on the improvement of its results with theaid of a new Bluetooth Low Energy technology. The advantage of this technology lies in its support by contemporary mobile devices, especially by smartphones and tablets. We have implemented a distributed system for collecting radio fingerprints by mobile devices with the Android operating system. This system enables volunteers to create radio-maps and update them continuously. New Bluetooth Low Energy transmitters (Apple uses its “iBeacon” brand name for these devices) have been installed on the floor of the building in addition to existing WiFi access points. The localization of stationary objects based on WiFi, Bluetooth Low Energy, and their combination has been evaluated using the data measured during the experiment in the building. Several configurations of the transmitters’ arrangement, several ways of combination of the data from both technologies, and other parameters influencing the accuracy of the stationary localization have been tested.
