The document summarizes a final project that used a sensor glove to classify hand postures and gestures for writing in the air. It discusses using a neural network classifier with the CyberGlove device to accurately classify two postures. Templates were collected from 3 users for 4 sketch gestures and tested consecutively. The system was able to accurately classify some of the gesture sequences but failed on others, leading to the conclusion that the $1 classifier was insufficient.
Haptics is the technology that adds the sense of touch to virtual environments. It allows users to feel virtual objects through haptic devices that provide tactile and force feedback. Haptics has applications in gaming, virtual reality, virtual surgery, and more. Some examples of haptic devices include the Phantom device, CyberGrasp, and exoskeletons. While haptics enhances virtual experiences, it also has disadvantages like high costs and technical challenges.
Nonverbal communication includes various forms of communication besides words, such as touch (haptics). Haptics refers to communication through touch, which is an effective way to convey feelings and emotions. There are different categories and purposes of touch, including friendly, professional, social, intimate, and sexual touch. Touch is especially important in early childhood as it helps establish communication skills and bonds between individuals.
Haptic technology,or haptics,is a tactile feedback technology which takes advantage of the sense of touch by applying forces, vibrations, or motions to the user.The word haptic, from the Greek word haptikos, means pertaining to the sense of touch and comes from the Greek verb haptesthai, meaning to contact or to touch.
Haptics are enabled by actuators that apply forces to the skin for touch feedback, and controllers. The actuator provides mechanical motion in response to an electrical stimulus.

This document contains a collection of Spanish phrases and idioms. Many of the phrases are nonsensical or humorous when taken out of context. Some examples include "You have more tale than little street", "Your pan has gone", and "Coward of the prairie". The phrases reference various topics but do not form a coherent story or provide much meaningful information on their own.
Reference Scope Identification in Citing SentencesAkihiro Kameda
?
This document describes an approach to identify the scope of references in sentences containing multiple citations. The approach uses a conditional random field (CRF) sequence model with features including distance, position, part-of-speech tags, and syntactic dependencies. It first segments sentences using punctuation and conjunctions, then applies the CRF and a majority voting scheme to label each word as inside or outside the scope. The method achieved over 90% accuracy on a dataset of citations from ACL papers.
NEW MEDIA LECTURE - Swinburne University Radio Studentsbryceives
?
The document discusses the changing media landscape and the rise of new forms of user-generated content and multi-platform media consumption. It notes that traditional barriers between media like television, radio, print and the web are breaking down and being replaced by a single, multi-platform model. It highlights how the iPod and services like YouTube have disrupted traditional gatekeepers and argues that radio stations need to adapt by providing unique, local content across multiple formats to engage modern audiences.
The document summarizes the quantum model of the atom. It describes how electrons exhibit wave-like properties and have quantized wavelengths. The Heisenberg uncertainty principle states that it is impossible to know both the velocity and position of an electron at the same time. Schrodinger's wave equation defines quantized energy levels and the probability of finding an electron. Electrons occupy orbitals defined by four quantum numbers that specify the electron's unique "address" within the atom.
Webstock is a conference series in New Zealand focused on web development best practices and trends. It features talks from industry experts on topics like accessibility, usability, web standards and more. The 2011 conference included sessions on content strategy, visualizing information, mobile web development, performance optimization, APIs and emerging technologies. Speakers discussed their experiences building products and services at companies like Google, Facebook and more.
PATTY: A Taxonomy of Relational Patterns with Semantic TypesAkihiro Kameda
?
This document describes a study that mines relational patterns with semantic types from text corpora and constructs a taxonomy of these patterns. The study extracts syntactic, ontological, and lexical patterns between entities, generalizes the patterns, and identifies subsumption relationships to build a directed acyclic graph taxonomy. Experiments applying this method to the New York Times archive and Wikipedia found over 350,000 synsets with 84.7% precision and over 8,000 subsumption relations with 75% precision. The resulting taxonomy is available online.
This document discusses re-inventing tourism through pervasive and mobile technologies. It suggests new forms of tourism that combine public, family, personal, social and virtual visiting experiences. Some examples mentioned include exploring tourist sites virtually before visiting, joining live guided tours from home, using augmented reality guides at locations, and engaging with places through location-based games, media and activities. The document raises questions about how to fully design cities for digitally enhanced visiting while considering issues of privacy, safety and digital rights. It discusses the Horizon Creative Visiting theme which aims to explore how to connect real and virtual visitors and re-invent culture, tourism and guiding for diverse groups through innovative uses of technology.

Thomas Paine was an English-American political activist and philosopher. He was born in 1737 in England and died in 1809 in New York City. Paine is known for writing influential pamphlets and papers that advocated for American independence and challenged institutionalized religion. Some of his most notable works include Common Sense, published in 1776, which was instrumental in promoting revolutionary ideas in the American colonies. Paine also wrote The Age of Reason and Rights of Man, which criticized institutionalized religion and advocated for liberalism and republicanism. He influenced many American and French revolutionaries with his writings and political ideas.
This document contains review questions covering topics in waves, emission and the Bohr model, electrons, and photon properties. It asks about wavelength, Planck's constant, the speed of light, electron configurations for various elements, filling electron orbitals according to Aufbau principle, converting between units of length and frequency, and using formulas relating energy, Planck's constant, frequency, and wavelength of electromagnetic waves including photons.
Effective Pedagogy at Scale – Social Learning and Citizen InquiryMike Sharples
?
The document discusses effective pedagogy at massive scale through social learning and citizen inquiry. It outlines how social learning improves with scale through networked systems like MOOCs that enable learning conversations. Key aspects of social learning discussed include visible learning through feedback, formative assessment, and goal setting. The document also explores citizen inquiry, which combines citizen science with collaborative learning through crowd-sourced projects on platforms like iSpot Nature. These approaches aim to develop scalable pedagogy that supports a diversity of learners through open-ended, socially-driven inquiry.
