Smart glasses are wearable devices that display real-time information directly in front of users field of vision by using Augmented Reality (AR) techniques. Generally, they can also perform more complex tasks, run some applications, and support Internet connectivity. This paper provides an overview of some methods that can be adopted to allow gesture-based interaction with smart glasses, as well as of some interaction design considerations. Additionally, it discusses some social effects induced by a wide-spread deployment of smart glasses as well as possible privacy concerns.
Head-worn displays (HWD) have recently gained significant attention, in particular thanks to the release of a temporary version of Google Glass. Moreover, the anticipation of the commercial launch of Google Glass1 in the upcoming months and the fresh news that Facebook, Inc. acquired Oculus Rift2 increased the popularity of such devices even further. The trend of wearable device purchases is importantly growing and some business analysts forecast more than 20 million annual sales of Google Glass in 2018. Furthermore, researchers have been already studying and investigating HWD for several years. As a consequence, it is important to give an overview of different methods that could be used to interact with smart glasses and, above all, analysing privacy concerns and identifying the current and potential social implications related to these devices has a great significance at this point.
The main purpose of smart glasses is to provide users with information and services relevant for their contexts and useful for the users to perform their tasks; in other words, such devices augment users senses. In addition, they allow users to do basic operations available on today common mobile devices such as reading, writing e-mails, writing text messages, making notes, and answering calls. Therefore, although most of the usage of smart glasses is passive for the users, i.e. reading content on the little screen of the device, active interaction with such devices is fundamental to control them and supply inputs. In fact, users need ways to ask smart glasses for instance to open a particular application, answer something they need to know, insert content for emails, messages or input fields, or to control games.
Day lighting is the controlled admission of natural light into a building to reduce electric lighting and save energy. It provides psychological benefits like improved well-being and productivity as well as energy savings of up to one-third of total building costs. The design goals of day lighting are to provide adequate light quality and quantity throughout the space while integrating with building systems and achieving cost effectiveness. Artificial lighting must also be integrated to effectively provide energy savings from day lighting. There are various energy efficient techniques for day lighting like window placement, shading, and lighting controls.
Swahili People's privacy gradient (Swahili stone house).Antony Kibira
油
The Swahili culture places great emphasis on privacy and respect. Their stone houses are designed with an "intimacy gradient" where the inner rooms are more private for family. Public spaces like streets are considered male domains, while women generally stay at home. Behavior and activities are also governed by norms of privacy - for example, men socialize publicly while women's interactions are more private and restricted to the home. The stone house layout and rules around public/private behavior enforce Swahili cultural values of respect, honor and modesty.
This document discusses passive cooling techniques in buildings that do not require electricity. It describes passive cooling as using natural processes like convection, conduction and radiation to achieve balanced interior conditions. Some key passive cooling techniques mentioned are air movement, evaporative cooling, wind catchers, and earth tubes. Wind catchers in particular are highlighted as an ancient passive cooling method used in Hyderabad that brings in cool breezes. The document stresses the importance of passive cooling given the current electricity shortages and its environmental benefits over energy-intensive active cooling systems.

Indoor landscaping involves designing and maintaining living plants indoors to enhance interior spaces. It provides color, texture and improves air quality similar to outdoor landscaping. Rooftop gardens involve growing plants on rooftops and provide benefits like reducing temperatures, providing food and habitats. They help insulate buildings and reduce energy consumption. While interior landscaping faces challenges like limited light and root space, rooftop gardens can help lower urban heat and temperatures within built environments. Both practices utilize plants to beautify interior and rooftop spaces.
This document discusses passive ventilation systems. It begins with an introduction to ventilation systems and the types of ventilation - natural and mechanical. The benefits of natural ventilation are then outlined, including improved air quality, energy savings, and more. The document describes the two main types of natural ventilation - wind effect and stack effect. Wind effect ventilation uses wind direction and pressure differences to move air through cross or single opening ventilation. Stack effect relies on warm air rising to ventilate spaces. Examples of passive ventilation technologies like wind catchers are provided. Design considerations for natural ventilation systems include location and size of inlets and outlets. Landscaping elements that can help with passive cooling like trees and shading are also discussed. The presentation concludes with an overview
Thermal comfort depends on factors like air temperature, humidity, air movement, metabolic rate, and clothing. The human body generates heat through metabolism, and maintains its core temperature through convection, conduction, evaporation and radiation between the body and its environment. When designing buildings, the goal is to create a thermally comfortable environment through factors like insulation, ventilation, and passive heating/cooling to balance the body's heat production and loss.
The document discusses biomimetic architecture, which is architecture that is inspired by nature. It takes design principles from nature, such as structures and processes found in organisms, their behaviors, and entire ecosystems. Examples provided include buildings designed to mimic structures like seashells, trees, birds' nests, and more. The document advocates for biomimetic design principles that can make architecture more sustainable by emulating nature's effective functions like climate control and use of natural resources.
The Chicago School was a late 19th century architectural movement centered in Chicago. It promoted steel-frame construction for tall commercial buildings, allowing for more open floorplans. Defining features included the Chicago window style and early use of steel skeleton frames pioneered by William Le Baron Jenney in the Home Insurance Building. A Second Chicago School later emerged in the 1940s-70s focused on new building technologies. Key architects included Louis Sullivan, Dankmar Adler, and Daniel Burnham. Notable buildings included the Wainwright Building, Reliance Building, and Auditorium Building.
history of contemporary architecture - 14. Cubism + De Stijl.pptDania Abdel-aziz
油
Cubism had three key influences on architecture according to the document:
1. It rejected traditional techniques of perspective and modeling, instead emphasizing the two-dimensionality of the canvas.
2. Architects like Le Corbusier were influenced by Cubism's fracturing of objects into geometric forms and use of multiple perspectives.
3. Movements like De Stijl and Purism directly incorporated Cubist ideas like planar elements, primary colors, and intersecting geometric planes into architectural works.
Passive cooling techniques maximize natural heat removal without mechanical devices. They rely on evaporation, convection and radiation. Some key techniques include:
- Natural ventilation uses wind pressure differences and tall spaces to induce air flow.
- Shading reduces solar heat gain through overhangs, louvers and window placement.
- Courtyards and wind towers use thermal stacks to circulate air.
- Earth air tunnels and evaporative cooling take advantage of underground temperature stability and water evaporation to lower indoor temperatures naturally. Passive down draught and roof sprays also enhance evaporative cooling. Together, these minimize cooling loads through strategic design.
1. The solar chimney power plant uses a large glass roof collector and a tall chimney to harness solar energy. Hot air rises through the chimney, powering turbines that generate electricity.
2. It operates like a hydroelectric plant but uses hot air instead of water. A glass collector heats incoming air which then rises rapidly up a tall chimney, turning turbines as it exits at the top.
3. The main components are the collector, chimney, and turbines. The chimney height determines power output - a 1,000m chimney could power a 200MW plant producing 1,500GWh annually.
